Visas Issued

We got word today that the courier service we were using to get our visas had picked them up successfully today and they were approved for us to travel to China. They have already been picked up by Fedex in D.C. and are on their way to us. According to the tracking number, we should have them in our hands by Tuesday. While some may see getting visas issued and approved as not a big deal, The Embassy of China has become a little more strict with the issuing out of visas as of late. My guess is maybe the Olympics have something to do with this but who knows. All I know is that we are approved and that puts us one step closer. We are marking off the steps at a quick pace and onto the next.
