hello, most of you do not know me, seldom post but have read and found much information here, and would like to thank all of you.

my joan got here visa approved on june 3rd, I went over there to china, carried the paper work she needed, it was the best thing I could have done, she needed the support, I also attended the monday talk at the embassy, this was very good, I got to talk with them and they let me submit and ask what I wanted, joan thinks this was most important to are case, that and she had my passport

If you can please go and support your girl, she had her interview at 7:15a.m we got there 50 minutes early and many in line already, they treat them like cattle, I was not happy about that, it was ranning and they did not start to let them in tell almost 8:00a.m. them it was a rush to push your way up there.

joan was lucky she got a nice officer to talk with, it only took about 15 minutes for her, they did not want to see are phone list or e-mails, she showed them the letter of intent but they did not want to read, what they did look at was my I-134 line by line, and every page of 3 years of tax forms, and mine were thick, also joan took 4 small albums of pictures, over 80 in all, and the officer looked at everyone of them, ask questions and laughed at some of them.

joan said they ask if she new the petioners name, if I was married before, and a few about my childern, and why she wanted a visa, and that was about all.

I hope this helps to list this for you, I am so happy I went over and went with her, we had about 38lbs of paper work, its best to have everything in case they ask.

good luck everyone.

hello, yes we stayed at the hotel called (7) it was basic but very clean, and about 148 rmb, it was a short taxi ride to the embassy, we rode the train from shenzen, I can ask joan what exit we got off at I do not remember, but we only walked 2 blocks to the hotel, there were many shops and eating places around.

good luck
