For those waiting for PA...

We received preapproval today after 4 weeks of waiting! I'm trying not to get too excited, though, since we are still waiting for the social worker's report...then on to PGN, for who knows how long...

Question Pa

When did you start counting your 4 weeks. Was it from when the DNA was taken, matched or when the Embassy recieved the DNA results?

Thanks,

Martha

I was going by the match date (8/25), which was actually a 4-1/2 week wait. I don't know for sure when the Embasy recieved the results.

Hmmm that was our match date also, and we are waiting PA. I emailed Monday but I know they were probably quite busy with the hague/atty meeting thing.
Did you get an email from the embassy or just the good
news from your agency??
thanks

I received an email from the embasy at 10:24 a.m. this morning. Hopefully, yours will arrive tomorrow! It seems that there are a lot of us who have been waiting, so they are probably working their way through the pile...

Our match was Aug. 29th and we've been waiting for PA, so thanks for sharing your news!

Hopefully we won't be too far behind....
