same rate of referrals...7 months into our wait

the latest batch of referrals that went out today are through 9/8/2005....same number as in past months and no sign of a speed up yet....
maybe we will travel before 2008?
sigh
but as of yesterday, we were officially 7 months into our official wait...so maybe the 15 months is is now won't be so bad....
lot's of time to learn chinese, prepare the house (and ourselves, and our bank accounts....)

review room???

There are rumors that at least part of April LIDs are in the review room (some familes are being asked for more information....). Officially they've finished reviewing through the end of January 2006...
where is our dossier??? we won't know for sure until they finish all of April or we are asked for more information....

slight speed up?

referrals were received today and went through 8/25, which may be the start of things picking up...
fingers crossed!
