There have been many issues with I-171H's being renewed. We got referrals on 12/1 and the acceptances arrived back in china on 12/08. The wait is excruciating especially as we here of other agencies receiving TAs. Is the size of our group an issue? Would the 171H issue hold everyone up? RQ, any of your expertise would be greatly appreciated. D&R LID 08-26-05 DOR 12-01-06 TA ??? CA ??? We too are with an agency with a LARGE group (34-36).

We got our referral on Thursday, November 30. Our papers arrived by FedEx on Friday, December 1. We were required to have our acceptance letter back to the agency by Monday the 4th in the am. Letters left that afternoon and were accepted on the morning of the 8th in China. We felt good about a pretty quick turnaround, but much to my frustration (and that of our entire group of 34 families) we still have no TA. Is it possible that each individual SWI or orphanage waits until all letters from all agencies adopting from that particular SWI in a given referral batch arrive before sending TA? I'm grasping at straws here, but each day we have no TA means another day someone else is raising my daughter... I'm ready to swim! ~KM in CLT Hi RQ,

We will refile our 171 at the end of April, since it expires May 30th. PJM – yes, the turnaround for the SF office is about 5 weeks, really quick.

I am with a small agency who returns acceptances the day following referrals, and in 2001 got my TA about 7-8 days after referral. I don't think size matters although luck may! PJM LID 10/26 and harrassing my agency for my HS update so I can send to CIS ASAP. They say SF is about 5-6 weeks turnaround - anyone have experience with that?

But we've been told they're on their way, so am anxiously waiting! I noticed all the lovely Hunan girls - cause thats where my girl comes from as well. Our batch were pretty young 8 -13 months old at referral, all from Hunan, tiny SWI. Not sure if that assists in your stats? I noticed that some of the smaller ones are now a bit more active - I think it has to do with some rearranging of who does and submits the paperwork for the babies, as there are big differences from the past referrals from the same place. And I am so pleased that y'all made that woman eat her words... Regards Toto Hey RQ,

Could just be a coincidence... But I'm hoping this may mean another batch will come soon. That in pure speculation CCAA had a large number of dossiers from Hunan come in and decided to match child dossiers and that soon they will match again with other child dossiers coming in from more provinces. Just a wild guess...one can hope. Have you notice a majority of Hunan referrals in this batch??? I'm wondering.

We received our info on Thursday, December 7 (DOR was 12/01), and all acceptances arrived back at the agency by Monday, December 11. They were sent, as a group, immediately to CCAA. All of the children in the group are in the same orphanage. Another large agency sent all theirs to CCAA December 5 or 6, got their TAs back two weeks ago and are traveling (several travel groups) between Jan. 11 & 18. Based on that, we were hoping for last week, but it didn't happen.
