4everwait,

I cannot find you in the member list so I don’t want to leave you behind so…….. follow the following steps.

1. Go to Forum (link at the right side of RQ web site)
2. Go to General Discussions
3. Look for the post “How are people with no children coping with the ever increase wait.
You will find the information that you need….

Let me know if you still have problems………

RQ
Thanks for clearing that up for me, very helpful. We did not file the I-800A, grandfathered in with the I-600. That makes me feel better, at least for the moment.
Thanks again

RQ you are correct about the CNY but we have found that they actually begin “celebrating” it earlier. We received our TA at the end of last month and we also live in China. The person handling our case said he thought we could travel before CNY to pick up our son, come home for the CNY and then go on to Guangzhou after CNY. Turns out the orphange and officials were not in the mood to do anything until after the CNY (direct quote). Very disheartening to know we are a couple hours away from him and have to wait at least 3 more weeks!

4everwait – I recently blogged about this here: http://chinaadopttalk.com/2009/11/06/quiet-2/
Start at about the 4th paragraph

StillwaitinginWI – depends on whether you are Hague or not. If not, then 6 weeks is a good estimate when there is no upcoming holiday, give or take a few weeks. If you are Hague then the last I heard it was taking about a month longer to get through all of the extra red tape. If that has sped up or slowed down I’m sure someone will correct me.

mom2girls – sorry! I’ve got a list of things I do after referrals (babies post, update the histories page, a when post, a projections post, update the box)… I forgot one of the things. Thanks for reminding me!

waitingforlaurali – no one is implying the sizes of the batches will get bigger. We’re just saying that if the size of the batches stays the same we should get through a lot more days than we have been getting through. The CCAA can always reduce the sizes of the batches to keep the days referred about the same – the’ve done it before when we went from a huge month to a small month, we’re just hoping they don’t do that again this time.

4everwait,

I looked for you in the system so I can email you or PM you, but I can only find “4everwaiting” member. I thought that was you but the LID on this member signature is different than yours so I guess that is not you……. :) I cannot find you in the member list. I’ll continue looking

If they don’t get through at least the 10th, if not the 11th next month (or when the next referrals arrive) it will be beyond disappointing.
