We were approved for Max's Emmigration Permit (EP) this was the last major thing we needed. This is the Korean Governments go ahead that Max may leave Korea and become a permanent resident of the US. There are a few "housekeeping" items that need to be finished up on the Korea side.
* Visa physical (VP) this is to say Max is healthy enough to fly.
* Visa Interview: Apparently this is where they interview the immigrant as to why they want to leave the country...I wonder what he will say? In all reality, they need to check to make sure there is a live human attached to all of the paperwork.
*Embassy Appearance: Fancy way of saying passport photo and issuance of one way passport.
* TRAVEL CALL: This is when they call and say all of the above ducks are finally in a row...and we hop a plane to Korea.
Our best guess and what our agency is predicting is travel call in about 3 weeks! Whatever information we get we will certainly share.
We are nearing the end of this marathon...we reached mile 25...this is the point that you will make it on adrenaline alone, you can crawl the rest if you must, limping and gimping...we can nearly see the finish line. And we are so ready to go and get our little boy and be a family of 3...that is when the real race starts....especially since Max is walking 100% independently!

Thank God for that EP approval! I'm hoping that the 3 weeks until Travel call proves true!
