Off they go!

All of my documents, except the I-171H were sent off to the Chinese Embassy today. I barely made it to the post office before it closed (4.59pm!) - but they kept the truck waiting for me. One of the perks of going to a small town post office. After I get everything together, and all sealed, I realized that I had forgotten to put the money in the envelop. I'm really hoping that wasn't a sign. Luckily, the postal worker grabbed it and sliced it open. I threw the money order in and she taped it back together. Again, thank goodness for small towns! Now I'll be counting down the 10 days until it returns.

17 days left in waiting for the I-171H. I've heard through the grapevine that the state's USCIS office is backed up, but I've also heard that everything is still on schedule. Who knows really...? I have my doubts that anyone has a clear picture as to what is going on.
