I did get some things mixed up when I was trying to let you know what comes next in the process. I guess ISRC, the orphanage, applies for Utsab's Indian passport, and we apply for his visa...which I guess is the reason we have to go to Delhi. Who knew? I was not even sure why we were going there. :) My sweet case-worker at Dillon keeps me acurate which I'm thankful for. That way when I look back on my blogs, I won't be as confused. :) Her explanation is below...
"he will have an Indian passport and ISRC has applied for that, but the visa process is a U.S. visa and that is what you will be doing when you are there. The I-600 form you file in New Delhi approves Utsab’s to “receive” a visa, then you file the DS-230 at the U.S. Consulate in Kolkata and that is the actual application for the visa and you will receive Utsab’s visa from the Consulate in Kolkata while you are there."
Does that make everything clear for you? :) Easy as pie. To those of you who know me and my sweet but travel challenged husband...we should have no problems, right! :) Oh, well. I'm too excited right now this minute to care. I'll worry about the details this afternoon after I've had my shower and had time to process what I've just learned. :)

Congratulations! I can't wait to follow your journey and learn from your experiences! Praise God!
Such great news! Hope you are having fun planning and preparing!
The paperwork part of the trip was so much easier that we expected. ISRC took very good care of that.
Don't worry about being travel challenged. :o) Dillon is wonderful about telling you all the details ahead of time, and Ms. Roy takes care of as much as humanly possible before you arrive. I'm so happy you'll be with your son soon!
