Almost there....

We got an email yesterday afternoon from the Dallas Citizenship and Immigration Services office that they have finished our paperwork(after a little prodding from us and our advocate at Dillon Int!). Hmmm, I almost get the feeling that they had just finished it yesterday--not bad, only 2.5months! Anyway, who cares now? We are truly on the home stretch. I guess you could compare it to my water breaking after 2months of contractions! What's next you ask? When our notice of approval clears the National Visa Center, it will then go to the embassy in Seoul. Then, Eastern Social Welfare Society in Seoul will get the word that Hudson can travel. Dillon Int will call us and tell us the great news! We will call the travel agent and buy tickets to fly out 3 days later. Here is the deal, because of school starting we have a very small window. Mike is the secondary principal of Abby and Carter's school. They start Aug 19. Dillon's school starts Aug.24. So, we must travel and be home by Aug.17 OR we wait and leave Aug 25th! Of course, I'm praying that we miraculously get travel clearance next week and leave around Aug.3rd! That would be crazy if it happened, but hey, God does some crazy things :)
