TN is Amazing

Well, our documents got sent off last week on Wednesday and arrived on Thursday in Nashville. To my surprise Friday morning the FedEx man delivered them back to use, signed/sealed. They weren't even in Nashville a full 24 hours, INCREDIBLE! I want to send that office flowers.

After this, we got everything together, and got a hold of "Caring Hands", which is a service in DC that will take the documents in person to the state dept and then the Chinese embassy. The state dept will process the papers the same day, actually the courier service said they are only open from 07:30-11:30AM, and they stamp them all right there. Afterwards the courier will run them over to the Chinese embassy and drop them off. The embassy takes 4 days, unless you pay more(40 bucks a document!), and will hopefully give us the packet back with a green light. This should be done by Thursday, but maybe Friday depending on whether or not the courier service gets the package started today. So hopefully we will know where they are by the end of the week as far as any documents that need to be corrected and re-submitted. Fortunately if there is a problem with any of the paperwork and it needs to be done again we only have to resubmit that particular document as opposed to the entire packet. Just wanted to make this entry to basically mark the event, hopefully we will have another note put here with an update on the DC paperwork.
