Heart How long for Travel Approval?

How long did it take you to receive TA after your referral?

I'd like to know the answer to that myself. RQ said that agencies are expecting a package from the CCAA tomorrow and thinks it might be TAs. that would be nice.
Amy, I'm sure you would like to get to China before your daughter's birthday so you can spend it with her.

we rec'd our referral 2.1 and did not get TA 'til 3.9...the more daunting part was we needed to leave for China by 3.23...but I think TAs were slow to arrive in march, and there was a push to get in before the trade fair.

have fun - it's so much fun!

It would be so cool to celebrate her very 1st b-day in China! I think most of the babies in my travel group were born in June, so we could have a few b-day parties!

Sounds like I need to check out RQ! I'm barely on there anymore. So there's a possibility we could hear something on Fri or Mon?

We got our TA's 30 days after referral and CA's five days later 04/10. We aren't leaving until the 05/09. Someone with the same referral date just returned home yesterday. They are with a small multi country agency and we are with a lg China only agency whose referral groups travel together, their agency I guess did not. They had less then a week to get things together after CA so I didn't get a chance to talk to her before she left.

Ours only took 3 weeks. Then we traveled 3 weeks after that. We had a July 31, 2006 referral (LID July 13, 2005) and traveled September 13 - 26, 2006.

Sue - Have you heard about TAs arriving this week? Just curious if you heard or read anything about that.

Hi Amy,
No, I haven't heard anything yet but according to RQ's forums tomorrow sounds promising. I hope.

Alot of people got theirs today...I haven't heard anything. But I know the couple that got skipped in my travel group got their referral today. So that's a relief! I'm wondering if our agency calls us once everything is set up.

We just received an email from our agency that the travel approvals have arrived and they are now working on confirming the travel dates. Now I am really getting nervous.

In my experience(s), everything after the wait for the referral was a bit of a blur. Quick, quick, pack, pack, go, go!

Basically, your wait is over -- the "real" wait, anyway.
