I800 and a delay...

We received our I800 back from the Department of Homeland Security yesterday.  This document is one of the document that goes into the Article 5 I believe.  I scanned the document in and sent it to our social worker and here's the reply we received back:


"Great!  I had seen a copy and had sent on the DS-230 visa application to the Embassy in Delhi.  Once the Embassy receives the provisional approval from the NVC, they will put it together with the DS-230 and will send the Article 5 letter to CARA.  That will begin the NOC process…  CARA has indicated they are not going to review new NOC’s until after September 30, so that may delay us there, but I’ll keep you posted."

We are crushed to say the least.  It's hard to understand why our daughter has to sit in an orphanage for a few months longer than needed.  We knew going into this process that things don't always go smoothly, but I don't think we realized how excruciating the wait was going to be.
