new pictures!

the next form came!!!

Our I797 form came today from the U.S.A. immigration people. Next steps: - our agency sends this form to China, China looks at it, China sends us a Travel Approval. That's the last thing we need. Most people go to China about two weeks after getting the Travel Approval. Our travel dates may be slightly different - they will depend some on some official holidays in China in October. One more step done! Exciting!
