We just got an email from USCIS saying the they issued our provisional approval on 11/2, that was Friday. Hopefully it will be in the mail soon! This means that we just need to wait for Claudia's country to send our Article 5 and give us an official travel date.
Unfortunately the judges in her country are still on strike... 29 days now and no one really knows when it will end. Because of this they have stopped issuing the Article 5 fro the time being. We are not yet worried about this though since most people seem to think the issues will be resolved shortly and we will get travel dates for early January still.
This is our hope and our prayer, that we can leave for her country the second week of January, meet our daughter and have the mandatory "five business day" bonding period before court. Claudia could be home in early to mid February if it all goes well. We know how that goes though.
Please pray that the judges are back to work soon and that the adoption goes smoothly from here on out. We had to have several things re-done since we will not be completing the adoption this year which included FBI background checks. Those are taking 2-3 months to come back and we need them back before that. Please pray that they will be back in a speedy manner.
More to come as it is available :)
