In the adoption world P3 means Packet 3. It's a packet that gets sent from the embassy to the agency. This packet contains what the agency needs to get a child's immigration visa. So, now, everything is done on the US side. There is nothing left. Now we wait for the agency to get the visa and passport in order and he's ready. Some people get a call two days after P3 and some wait up to 3 weeks. It depends. The agency can basically do what they want now. If you're escorting and they don't have an escort lined up they don't need to be in a hurry to return it and schedule the visa interview. If the passport isn't done yet they can't apply for the visa anyways. Since we're not waiting on an escort, that will not be a problem. We're probably waiting on passport though. It's too early in the wait not to be. So my guess, is we'll be somewhere in the middle to later end of the P3 wait to travel call. I'm still hoping for the week of the 18th, but who knows.
Then, when we get the call we can leave anytime we want. We must be at the agency on a Monday and cannot leave until at least Thursday that same week. We hope to leave on a Saturday, but we'll see what fares are like and what day of the week the call comes. No one knows.
