How do you know? I mean did you receive anything official... or you agency just told you your official LID?

We still have not heard anything since our DTC...

Our agency wrote us that it was hand delivered on the 13th to the CCAA(agency has an office in Beijing)
so I knew it had gotten to China and to the CCAA.

This morning,they advised me via email that the CCAA had officially logged us in and assigned an LID on 08/14/07.

I would ask your agency for an update on your
dossiers progress...they should be able to tell you something?! It may be that you are already logged in but the agency hasnt been advised yet.
