EMAIL DETAILS

Hunter, thanks for your extremely kind offer. Let's do this if it is ok with you--let's see if our current contact gets our consulate in Guangzhou to issue the visa for Daisy. Once that is done then I could let you know and then we could have David Wade weigh in with the Chinese Embassy to have CCAA (official Chinese adoption agency) issue the travel authorization. This is a formality but can take up to 6 weeks after the visa is granted. How about I call or email you once the visa is issue? Thanks Hunter. Randy

What's best thing for me to do here. Should I have someone from jrb's office weigh in or is that overkill. And/or should I send email or call personally. Is this entirely a US issue or do the Chinese also need to be encouraged to expedite process? I am willing ready able to do all of the above or none of the above at your direction. How about David Wade on Kerry's staff?

Hi Hunter--thanks for trying me back. We are working to get Daisy's final paperwork signed off and visa issued by the US Consulate in Guangzhou. This should be just a formality--but can sometimes take several weeks. Daisy is scheduled--we understand--to have another surgery in early June for her cleft palate. We are trying to get her before this so we can have the surgery done here. We can't have any contact with the facility she is at--their rules. We've got someone at State (Steve Diminuco--who I've met--WH Liaison to State) that Rick Leach knows well who is suppose to weigh in with our Consulate General in Guangzhou--Brian Goldbeck. I think we'll be ok--but the timing is short. Trying to get authority to travel by the end of May. Just so you have it her is the case no, I-800 no and her official name (all the paperwork is in Immigrant Visa Unit/US Consulate in Guangzhou)

Case no #GUZ2011623094

I-800 application # SIM 1119500005

Dang, Tian Xiao (Official Name)

Hunter, thanks for being so supportive. We are coming down the homestretch. Any thoughts you might have to get this approved I'd appreciate. Hunter, again, thanks! Randy
