BNK********12

So we got our BNK# last night!!!!!!!!!!!!! WooHoo!!!!!! And check it out Keith and Kev~it ends with the number 12! Holla! I think this is a great time to recap our remaining steps! What do you all think? Yeah, okay. Let's do it!

I-800 approval~ 7.27.09

I-800 approval received by National Visa Center {NVC}~7.31.09

NVC assigns to us the

all important BNK# {8.3.09} and cables the I-800 approval to Bangkok~

WACAP speedy quick sends the final document and Joel's birth certificate

and passport photos to the Embassy with corresponding BNK#~

Embassy cables final visa approval and issues Article 5 which grants permission to travel~

I talked to Max at the NVC last night and he said that our case had just gotten logged in and that we had been assigned our BNK#. It has not been cabled yet but he said it would be really soon. And that usually does happen speedy quick! So now, as soon as Joel's birth certificate gets here, we can send it to the Embassy since we have the number. At this point, the cable should happen today or tomorrow and so it will beat the docs there which is good. Then once the docs get there, we wait for them to issue the Article 5 that gives us permission to secure board dates and travel! Yippee!

I know it's a mouth full and these details are probably boring you fine people to death! But we are oh so close now! Hang on sweet boy! This mama is ready to fly to Asia!
