Update

Okay, so today is a new day and I am in a better state of mind then I was yesterday afternoon. Believe me, many a tear was shed!

We received an update from the Consulate in China today which said they had received our LOSC and other document(s) from our case worker (agency rep in China) on July 17th and that our case is still under processing. Normally, they finish the process within 10 calendar days, depending on their workload, which is understandable. Further, they will notice our case worker (again, our agency's rep in China) when it has been complete.

What does this mean, well if all goes according to plan and it is approved within the 10 days, our Article 5 should be signed on 7/27/09 and then picked up by our agency rep in China and delivered to the CCAA, which will put us in the official line for issuance of our travel approval (TA). Hopefully that will come quickly once delivered to the CCAA!

We have faith that all will work out and we will still travel before the start of the school year here in Minnesota, which is after Labor Day!

Many blessings,

Denise, Dale, Samantha & Madison (who is waiting for her family in China!)
