Consulate Delay

收到领养批准已经有三个星期了。这期间我们又填了很多表格,大多都是新加的程序。现在的问题是卡在了广州美国领事馆。小安娜的移民签证已经批准,材料由美国签证中心已经电邮到广州,但广州那边就是找不到这份材料。 我们的领养机构已经连续三天打电话,可是一直没有结果。真不知道问题出在那里了。我很感谢我的领养代办人,她会每天晚上给领馆打电话,直到问题解决。
It has been almost three weeks since we received our LOA. In these three weeks, we have done a lot more paper work and waiting. First, on the day we received receive the LOA, we submitted the I-800 to USCIS. After that, we filled out visa form DS-230 and sent it to our agency, which then forwarded it to the Guangzhou Consulate. Next, the I-800 was approved and forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) in New Hampshire. NVC transferred the file electronically to the US Consulate in Guangzhou on February 26. My agency has called the consulate twice already and they still haven’t registered our file. My agency will keep calling the consulate daily until they do so.
