All documents were delivered safely

I love Fedex. All three packages of documents were delivered safely by noon today, less than 24 hours from when I sent them out.

Now the I800 packet that went to USCIS in Texas will be reviewed, takes about 10 days. After that, they send it to the National Visa Center, which is an office in the Dept of Homeland Security. They complete it's processing, which also takes 10 days, and cables the consulate in Guangzhou , China that we are approved. By then Lily will have our DS230 and our LOA and have delivered them to the consulate to meet up with the cable. It takes about another 5 days for the consulate to sort it out, and finish their part of the approval process, and then Lily will overnight the whole thing to the CCAA for them to process our Travel Approval letter (TA).

Worst case scenario right now is 50 to 80 days for this entire process from LOA to TA. I am really hoping for more like 40, but, would be thrilled if we can get the whole process done in much less than that.
