As I am officially waiting now, I generally spend my lunch hour reading posts from various yahoo groups and RQ. You really have to read both to get a balanced view of what is going on. RQ is unquestionably pessimistic about the wait time. According to all of their predictions, I won't be heading for China within this decade, if ever. Heaven forbid that anyone post anything about the matching process speeding up, because within 30 seconds there will at least 20 replies pointing out the errors of that line of thinking.
On the opposite side are the yahoo groups. Every other post describes past speed ups and encourages everyone to be on their toes and trust the agency predictions on wait times. I'm not sure if anyone has ever attempted to post anything negative - I've not really seen one make it to the light of day.
Funny, isn't it? Here's what I think... I don't think anyone really knows. In fact, I question whether anyone in China really knows how long the wait will be. While it's fun to guess... that's all they are.
My agency just reported that those who were DTC in the beginning of Feb. have a LID of 20.3.07. I'm now "guessing" that I'll have a late April LID. Unless there's a speed up.

2 Talk To Me!:
I see myself as a realist...in between the extremes. No one really does know so I'll just do the best I can to enjoy the ride because, either way, it is out of my control.
I agree.. it's all one big guess, but the certainity at least, is that it WILL be!!
