Stage 2 Complete!

We received our approval from BCIS, the coveted I-171H. We were told 2-4 months processing at BCIS. We sent our package on May 25th and they approved it and sent it back July 6th! We were in Fargo, ND at the time. Since we were not expecting it until we returned to California at the end of July, we didn't even know until Bob got home and got the mail that was on hold.

Anyway, we got it. We sent it to the person who prepares all the docs to send to China, Xiao Qing (pronounced shau ching). She says she will be sending our docs to China in mid-August. (Sent 8/25). Currently, people are saying it's 6 months for the referral and then travel about a month later. That will put us going to China in February.
