Help!!!! Looking for Pink Timelines

Okay Guys! I am desperately looking for Pink timelines. I believe and most certainly understand, when you get pink -- poof! your on a plane to get your sweet babies!!!! I am looking for most recent timelines from BC to pink. I received GCBC on Friday, will be submitted for Pink on Monday and am wondering how safe it will be to travel next weekend or should I stick it out and travel the following weekend.

If someone has a good idea on how to search for this info please share with me.

Way too excited to think straight!!!!

For quick reference you can check our timeline in my signature for our time frame.

You can also do a search for the Pink list (you probably only need to go back a 2-4 pages to find the last posting) and that will give you a pretty good idea too.

We opted to buy our plane tickets once we had confirmation we were submitted to the Embassy. We got good rates that way and were able to plan ahead a little. (We're leaving Tuesday) Some agencies discourage that...just in case...but ours was fine with it.

Good luck!!!
Kathy

I can only hope to have your BC to Pink timeline. My agency said its up to me so I am struggling with heart and head. I will take your suggestion and do a pink list search.

Thanks again, and I hope you have a safe and very happy trip!!!!!

Deana, First: CONGRATULATONS on GCBC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sooo glad you are on to PINK. YAY YAY

From looking at GCBC to Pink is looks between 3-10 days. It really depends on the lawyer getting the passport done quickly, translating a couple of documents and then submitting everything to the Embassy. Once the embassy has the paperwork they seem to be really good with the 48 hour turn-around time for PINK or I-72(more documents needed)

It appears to be a very good chance you could travel next weekend. But I would be in touch with your agency and ask when all the paperwork will be submitted that might help you decide.

Thanks for the Info

Thank you all who have replied!!! I appreciate you help!!!

Corolla, I am very impressed you are so informed! I had no Idea that all this has to be done to be submitted for Pink. My Guat Attorney told my Agency my GCBC will be submitted to the Embassy on Monday. I am in such hope it is ready and will, in fact, be submitted. Thank you for your info!!! It is very helpful in my decission.
