The chinese government just likes to make it clear they are in charge of taking as long as they want... they don't even open the petitions sent from NVC for a few months, rumor is, they do it just to be pricks...

I actually filed... almost two weeks ago (early enough that H&R block couldn't actually submit the e-filing yet since they didn't start accepting those until the 15th), are you saying you got your return already or just got your w-2's etc and can file now? I kind of expect the return to show up pretty soon myself which will be nice (goes a long ways towards making up for some credit card damage I've done lately...)

Holy #######!!!!!!!!!!!! I started looking at tickets for my SO and daughter from Nagoya to here - I dont know if this is the case from everywhere, but maybe you need to book a roundtrip flight, with return in the future sometime. the flight price for Roundtrip was about 1/3 of 1 way ticket. Even if you never use that return ticket, at least you save some cash!
