nae: It finally came!

It's always exciting to see envelopes with this return address in our mailbox. :-) We got our I-600 approval today! Yeah! It says that we are approved to bring Bada into the US. Now we just wait for Korea to give permission for her to leave. Time to get settled into more waiting...
