Current wait time

1-10 weeks for Pre-approval (PA) (before ours it was 3-7 weeks-ours was fast & one was really slow)
2-4 months from PA to Letter of Acceptance (LOA)
2-4 weeks from LOA to travel approval (TA)
2-4 week from travel approval - actually traveling

So, the earliest from these time frames that we could travel would be early December and the latest would be sometime in January/February. I'm trying hard to not hope that our LOA will arrive in record time like our PA... even if it does not early December - January is not that far off. I keep wondering what we will do if we need to travel over Christmas... there is no way I'd put off traveling to get Lili.... as soon as they say we can go, we are going... I keep coming back to Reese being obsessed last year that Jesus really wasn't born on the 25th... so, I guess we could celebrate as a family on any day we choose.
