After much drama I am thrilled to say that our 171H got here! That was really stressing me out, but now I am just glad it is here. This was the one piece of paper that we needed from our government to travel. The original one expired because the wait extended so long. The Visas came yesterday from the Chinese consulate in Houston. That just looks cool in our passports.
So now the next phase is the continuing wait on the Travel Approval from China. As soon as this arrives our agency will confirm out Consulate Appointment with the US Consulate in China and then we scramble to make our travel plans.
We are ready – come on China!
