Now, you may wonder..."What the heck is the P3 Lounge?
After we got USCIS approval, then through the NVC, all our United States paperwork was sent to the U.S. Embassy in Seoul. The P3 (Packet 3) is that packet of paperwork that the U.S. Embassy (in Seoul) sends to the Korean agency, Eastern. Ours was sent today! Once Eastern receives the P3, they work their magic and return it to the U.S. Embassy. The travel call usually happens within a week of its return to the Embassy. The length of time it takes Eastern to return the P3 is highly unpredictable, and since it's the last BIG wait, it tends to be the hardest. But it's better to wait with friends in a comfy 'cyber' lounge, no? Thus the "P3 Lounge." I have no idea how long we'll be in the lounge but I'm currently chillaxin' with Rachel, Katie and Jen. Hopefully Jen and Katie leave soon though...they've been in the lounge far too long.
So this it folks, the home stretch. I'm pulling up my chaise lounge, grabbing a glass of wine and going to chill out with my fellow loungers. Feel free to do the same.

This is great news! I hope the wait is a short one & you guys will be bringing your adorable son home soon!
I know your Korean agency is slower than ours was... but that doesn't mean that I'm not hoping that you have a similar wait to us! In the meantime, enjoy that wine!
ahhhhh! i hope it is soon! our group is due for some action, and soon!
I'm glad that you are joining us... and thanks for the snacks!
Enjoy your stay! I hope it is short!!! And please, push those other gals out the door! ;)
I'm in the P3 lounge too (as of 6/24), so I'm happy to hang with you ladies...but not for TOO long, hopefully...for all of us!
Yipee! I am praying that your stay in the lounge is a short one :) Little Gabe will be in your arms before you know it!!
Such great news!! Hoping that your stay in the P3 Lounge is VERY short and that Eastern already has Gabe's EP since you're almost at the 4 month mark since referral!
Movin' right along! Even if the P3 lounge stay is a bit longer than the last few steps, it nevertheless must be nice to check things off your list (USCIS approval, NVC in and out, etc.), right? Anyway, I hope they have good cocktails in the lounge and some funky music while you all wait. Cheers!
I'm so excited for you guys!
Oh the wonderful P3 wait...
I hope none of you have to sit in the lounge for very long. It is getting pretty crowded. Jen and Katie need to get out of there to make room for more. Hopefully next week will be a good one!
That's so great!!!!!!!!! It will be soon now!
Thanks for talking me through the other day!

This last wait is the hardest but SO worth it when you get that magic TC call and hold your Gabe for the first time...when you thought that time would never come! I'm enjoying a glass of wine also, celebrating 3 months home-and time does truly fly!!!
So exciting, Joanna! You have waited long enough to get in the lounge. Is it everything you expected it to be or did you build it up too much in your mind?
By the way, ignore the 2 crazy women who are jumping everytime the door opens and talking to themselves a little too much. Jen and I should be gone soon!
So close you can almost taste it. Hoping your wait is extremely short.
Just got back home from vacation and couldn't WAIT to log onto the computer hoping I'd see some good news from you....
Woot!! Woot!! Welcome to the Lounge, friend! I'm thrilled to have you keeping me company! Cheers to a SHORT wait...
