We got it!!! Our letter from China arrived in the agency's office today!! Forget tax day, it's LOA DAY around here!!! Little B. keeps high fiving everyone and shouting. "We got LOA now Gates can come home!" Now that this is here we can send for Paul's visa to the Chinese Consulate in Houston TX and watch the mailbox for that U.S. Consulate appointment date in Guangzhou. Paul should be traveling in May!
