We are currently awaiting I800 approval, which is the US government's approval to adopt Hai Xing. This application went out by UPS overnight less than an hour after receiving the LOA from our agency. (LOA had to be included). This approval takes 2-3 weeks, so should come in the next week.
Next: NVC cable and letter. The National Visa Center receives our I800 approval, and takes about 7-10 days to issue it's approval for Hai Xing, now named Emmett Haixing, to receive a US Visa. Once they cable that information to the US consulate in China, and send us a letter to prove it, then all our documents so far go to the US consulate in Guangzhou, China.
Next: Article 5. The consulate takes about 2 weeks to issue an Article 5, stating all our paperwork is in order, and the US will accept Emmett Haixing as a citizen.
Finally: The caboose! China issues our TA (Travel Authority) to come get him. Then we schedule our CA (consulate appointment), and buy airplane tickets!
We should be traveling in early August, possibly July if things move quickly.
