Patience

Still no movement on the i800a.  I called again today and spoke with two officers at USCIS.  They assured me our paperwork has not been lost but is in a large stack in which I800s are given priority (families that have already received the LOA from China).  I was also asked to "please be patient" and expect the approval in less than 30 days.  We have already waited 60 days.  Poor Sadie is suffering because of a paperwork slowdown.  I'm not sure which hurts more-my head or my heart right now.
