Waiting, Waiting and more WAITING

I called Holt today because the home study still has not arrived. Apparently it's caught up in "China Approval". What does that mean? I think it means Beth Smith, the head of the China division at Holt, needs to just sign it and then it gets notarized and then they SEND IT TO ME! They were supposed to send it to me last Wednesday. It's nearly a week later. We could have had it to the USCIS by now. It's still going to take a good 6 weeks to get the I-171H and with the holidays.... I'm so annoyed.
