In all the Harry Potter excitement I almost forgot!! We received a letter from the DfES to say that our papers were sent to the Chinese Embassy on 19th July (last Thursday) YEAH!!!!!!
It is currently taking about two weeks for the Embassy to process the papers, which takes us to the 2nd August. That means we should definitely be DTC (finally) in August 2007, twenty (yes TWENTY!!!) months after we first contacted our LA.
We've also been instructed to get our International Money Orders (aka International Bankers Drafts) ready. This is the fee for registering our application with the CCAA and the fee to translate our papers into Mandarin. These IMOs can apparently cause a few problems to get hold of, as they have to be in US dollars but payable to a Chinese organisation. Hopefully our bank will be one of the understanding and helpful ones!!!
