So, after a day and half of running around and getting our paperwork certifed and authenicated by Santa Clara County, State of California and the Chinese consulate, our paperwork was offically sent to China on Weds August 5th! Our coordinator let us know that it was recieved in China on Monday August 10th, now we are waiting for it to be translated and then logged in (LID). Once it's logged in then the looooooooooong wait for our letter of approval (LOA) will begin. We expect to wait a min of 90 days for our LOA, but are hoping it will come faster.
We are still hoping to travel in Jan/Feb (but would love for things to move faster and travel in Dec)
Keep your fingers crossed for speedy approvals :)

Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI'll be crossing my fingers for a speedy LOA, some have been known to come as fast as 8 weeks!!!! of course some longer....but we won't talk about those (:
Check out this yahoo group: http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/2009WCSummerLID/
It's just for families like ours that are all at the same point in the journey.
I hope things move fast for you and that you'll be traveling sooner than expected!
