I didn't see it answered then, so I'll try to answer the question now, if that person is still reading. A dossier can be expedited if the couple has immediate Chinese heritage. Simply being Chinese is not enough if they are too many generations removed from having been from China. I'm not sure how many generations are allowed, but I think it's only one or two. If you can claim the degree of Chinese heritage required, your dossier goes into a different (and shorter) line, so to speak. Expedited referrals are not sent out monthly like the regular NSN line. They're only sent out every few months or so and it's hard to predict when CCAA will next send an expedited batch. So, if you qualify for this, you won't know exactly when your match will be included, but you can be assured that it will be much sooner than those waiting in the usual NSN line.

CNY will probably cause the batch after this one to be a bit later than normal, so it all evens out in the end. There were 2 batches sent in Dec. 07, but they arrived around Dec. 5 and Dec. 31, so a bit further apart than the 18 days this December. I think it's just a fluke. Theshaniaproject,
