My daughter is also from Chongqing Municpality. Chongqing is adjacent to Sichuan Province but was made a separate juridiction in 1997 (it reports directly to Beijing). It has a separate registration office and I have a close friend who meets regularly with the head of that office and it is business as usual there - although they are working hard to raise money to assist quake orphans and the displaced in general. Although the original quake and the aftershocks have been felt there it has been business as usual in Chongqing.

We received our TA yesterday. Sent in for US Con. appointment.

Today we were told by the CCAA that our adoption is on hold until further notice due to it being “Dangerous for workers to go to work in Chengdu and therefore they can not do the paper work.”

We were told that all adoptions for the Sichuan province are on hold.

Was wondering if January 2007 was out of the review room? Previous posts have stated that it was and I was just wondering.

With an LID of 11-23-07 will there need to be updates information for our file before it is reviewed.
