Been Waiting For an Update?

well these days it's all about the waiting...

I can't even remember my last post now. The paper work game has kind of mostly wrapped up and we've been waiting to hear back from different government agencies.

I got my birth certificate back from the Garden State with a really official letter explaining that it really is my birth certificate and that it really is from New Jersey. I immediately sent if back to the courier service in New York to get the Chinese Consulate to confirm that it really is my birth certificate and it really is from New Jersey.

We sent our I-600A off to Yakima weeks ago. They sat on it for weeks, then sent it back and said we were supposed to send in the fingerprinting fee with it. We thought we paid that one when we got fingerprinted. So we wrote another check and sent it off again. A little over a week later and it appears they have cashed both our checks so we think that's a good sign. We hope it won't be too long now before we get our fingerprinting appointment so we can get the I-700H and finish assembling our dossier for China.

We are also still waiting to hear back from the CCAA in China. We sent off our LOI (letter of intent) back in early February, and still haven't heard anything there.

We were beginning to feel frustrated with our agency, as we are sitting out here in limbo, so Tina wrote the director an email asking for help, or at least an update. She promptly wrote back a very nice message that basically explained that yes, we are in the hard part of the process now.

It's called waiting.
