I guess much like Monopoly has "Bank error in your favor," Chinese bureaucracy has "Official caprice in your favor, collect your documents early." The agency is as confused as I am. They thought I had pulled some mega-strings to get the JW202 to Houston directly. Au contraire
Glad it worked out for you. Maybe somebody came to their senses and realized that you only needed the X2 not the X1. Maybe your agent is more persuasive than you gave them credit for. At any rate, good for you on this lucky break. Now go out and buy some lottery tickets.
