A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
Yesterday, Allen got a call from Eunita (our immigration case worker). She was calling to notify us of the provisional approval of the Form I-800. Yeah! One more hoop that we have jumped through. The US Department of State must now grant final approval of the I-800. We don't really know how long this step might take, but we are moving in the right direction. Our understanding is that once the state department approves our I-800, they will send a cable to the embassy in Manila indicating approval. Then things SHOULD really start moving as the kids travel to Manila for medical exams and visa interviews... At that point, it would PROBABLY be a matter of weeks. Of course, all of this is surrounded by a big question mark. We need to keep praying that we don't get hung up somewhere else in the process. For now, for today, we have jumped another hurdle and we are grateful for any movement at all.

Mary and Allen, God is good! He knew you needed this encouragement before a long holiday weekend when you think about what you would be doing if your daughter and sons were already in the USA. I know that you are looking foreward to those times.... rox
I'm so happy for you that things are progressing again. You have been very patient in what sounds like a very frustrating process. So many blessings lie ahead for you...I am sure of it!
Mary, Hooray!!! The wheels of progress are spinning again. I hope all of the medicals are a breeze. Congrats,
Julie
So glad to hear that you are one step closer, yahoo! waiting is hard and before you know it you will be telling them how hard it was to wait... but the great thing is you will be telling it to their cute little faces in their new house!
