Memories of Ghana and our Joy


On the adoption front we are in the process of waiting for the approval of our I600.  This is a US procedure and once this is complete we can request Joy's visa packet.  The wait for the I600 can be up to 60 business day and we filed on Dec 14 in Ghana with the American Embassy.  Of course holidays do not count for days being processed.  So I guess we have only been waiting 12 business days so far:(  It looks like March 16 is 60 days and then I have heard up to 5 weeks for the visa.  Trying to be patient and save money for the up coming trip. Trying to get all of our medical and dental appointments all caught up before Joyce comes home.

Proverbs 16:3



Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

Might want to plan on a little longer than 5 weeks for the visa...it took us almost two months from the I600 approval date to even have a visa interview appointment scheduled - but we also had holidays intervening.

After the visa interview happens, it could be a short time (e.g. approved that day, printed and in the passport within a week), or they could ask for more info, or just take a really long time.

Waiting is not fun!!! :)
