More Wrestlings with Homeland Security

[Update from SLC: ] Things are well! All three couples in our travel-group have accepted their referrals, and now our agency is working hard to wrest final approval of our home-studies from the US Homeland Security (US-CIS) folks. This latter issue is a real bear, as you may imagine. I spent the entire afternoon yesterday re-writing all of our personal finances reports for re-submission to US-CIS office. Keep us in your prayers!

For the record and for posterity, here (right) is the update box from the official CCAA site, which documents their processing of referrals through our log-in date (September 12, 2005) and beyond.

We have a few more pictures of the CCAA office in Beijing to post. (In each case, you should be able to click the picture to enlarge it.)

This first one is a view looking up at their building from the entrance way:

And here is the entrance to the building itself:

In the lower right of the picture above, you can see the CCAA's sign. Here is a close-up view. Can you spot the mistake in the English?
