I-800!

Another step off the checklist! Our I-800 form (Petition to Classify Convention Adoptee as an Immediate Relative) was approved by USCIS this morning. It means we're one step closer to getting Rose. Three steps left until we have our Travel Approval! It takes an average of 20 days to get the I-800 approved, and ours took 14 days, so we shaved almost a week off the projected timeline. Now I feel confident that barring any big obstacles, we'll travel in mid-March and have her home for her first birthday on April 7th.

Now I really need to get serious about finishing that thesis...
