I am a little confused, as foreign affairs offices rarely offer letters of invitation. They usually come from companies.
I would suggest you contact the directly and ask what the delay is.

My post was confusing, sorry. I have a job offer, all documents are with employer and have been translated. They are now with foreign affairs as I understand it for them to issue the necessary documents for me to obtain my z visa.

Oh. Now I see...
OK. No worries. They will finish when they are done. In the meantime just sit back and don't worry about a thing. It will take some time. Especially now. As CNY (Chinese New Year) begins on 15 February. Hopefully they will finish before CNY. So you should see some results in the next two weeks. Otherwise, look at some time in March or April.
