Where exactly are we in this process?

I think I failed to mention exactly where we are in this process. As of today, we are 1 step away from mailing 4 months of compiled official documents back to our agency, along with photographs (3 of just us and 8 with friends, family, etc. included) so they can be mounted and translated for the Chinese government, wht is called our Dossier. We are in the middle of a minor glitch where our "oh so important" documents are stuck in the People's Republic of China Consulate in Houston Texas on someone's desk. Apparently the post office made a little mistake and our package full of documents was sent back into the Consulate rather than arriving at our doorstep last Thursday as promised. This place is not somewhere you can pick up the phone and call. We are not really sure who this person is holding, well our life and future in their hands, but with the help of a nice friend I've made in the Houston post office and our agency contacts we are hoping to have this matter sorted out by Monday. Our next big milestone will be the Log-In date in China, so hopefully that good news will be in August!
