WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Below is a letter I received in my email just now after having spent HOURS at the hospital waiting for my niece to be born, and so far, nothing yet but obviously I'll be sure to post an announcement here & pics as well but for RIGHT NOW, the GOOD NEWS IS I HAVE TRAVEL APPROVAL AND A CONSULATE DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the letter:

Dear families,

Your patience has been greatly appreciated as we awaited travel approval. We received travel approvals and have a confirmed Consulate appt. for each of you.

Our Faith associate Eric called the Consulate last night and was able to secure the earliest date possible. Your Consulate appts. will be on Monday, Nov. 28, 2005 at 10:30am. The Consulate initially told Eric they had nothing in November and it would be December, but as some of you have fingerprint expirations in early Dec. he was able to convince them to take you on the 28. I know it may be a few weeks longer than you were hoping but it was the very earliest date we could secure.

For families whose fingerprint expire after Nov 29, 2005 you do not need to be re-printed at this time.

As far as travel is concerned this means you will most likely depart for China on one of the following dates:

If you are traveling to Beijing for the short 2 day tour you will most likely depart on Wed. Nov 16.
If you are not adding Beijing you will most likely depart on Friday, Nov 18.

You will most likely fly out of Guangzhou on Wed. Nov. 30. Your child's visa will be ready at 4pm on Tuesday, Nov 29.

I say most likely because of flight availability, please know this is a typical schedule and dates can vary sometimes.

Linda will need a day or two to research flight availibility before she calls you to discuss your options. Please give her a few days to organize your group so she is not flooded with calls before she has a chance to look into flights.

I know this is welcome news for you all, we look forward to organizing your travel and talking with you in the next few days.

Have a wonderful evening!
