ACH at Guangzhou

[mutshui 0]

Straight Talk,what you heard was true about Guangzhou.I have no idea if you married to a Chinese woman.The

interviewers already know whom are going to reveive a Visa,before you even go,and it has nothing much to do

with preview class.They know if you are wealthy,and what your age difference is ,between you and your wife.So

long as you have wealth,then the age really does not matter.If your too old,and no wealth,no visa.

Thanks

You do have somewhat of a point because that's how I felt about the VO already leaning one way or the other before the interview begins. How else can you explain a person who can determine whether a couple's relationship is bona fide or not in 5 minutes? However, I think that's a bad generalization for you to make and misleading for other people. Everyone's case is different and the best we can do is be honest and thorough with our answers. Like endoftheroad said, your financial situation is not the be-all end-all solution. There are other ways to prove financial support it even if you are not wealthy.

I have to apologize,a little ,not for me,but for all of you,about Red Flags you speak about.At the Guangzhou Interviews

you dont need Red flags or any type of signal that you are to be suspicious. Just not be wealthy,and not older than

ten years of your wifes age,and its guaranteed you will not get a Visa.If you are wealthy,your age makes little differenc

e and you get a Visa.

When you learn you will see that its all more than just talk,its reality you are reading in the other forums.

Trust me!

Thanks

I have to disagree with your belief that wealth is all that matters when it comes to a visa approval unless of course your definition of being wealthy is being able to satisfy the minimum poverty guidelines on the I-134 or I-864. There have been many many success stories on this and other boards of couples with a >10 year age difference in which the petitioner was not 'wealthy' and who have been approved for visas.

Its a shame that none of you are aware of the truth,when you read it.Goes to show limited experience.

Its a shame none of this has bothered you in your lives.

You teach young bulls,experience.

Thanks

Wow, sounds a little bitter there grego. Your "all you need is cash" description is not accurate and that has been proven over and over. Definitely need to make above the minimum or have a sponsor is all. If you are more than 10 years older than your wife then you will face the challenge for sure (personally I've never understood the big age range relationship), but many many many many have done it fine.

You don't need to "trust me" on these facts, just read the boards for a ton of examples.

Do you care to offer any evidence backing up your assertion that wealth & visa approval are tied to one another (other than meeting the minimum poverty guidelines)? I would say that this statement shows very limited experience with the visa process on your part as visas are regularly approved on a daily basis to beneficiaries whose petitioners are not wealthy and are 10+ years older. As I stated earlier there are many many success cases on this and other boards which contradict your assertion. I personally know a couple who have a 15 year age difference and the husband is by no means wealthy but yet their visa was approved without any problems after a 5 minute interview at GUZ. How do you know that the fact that you are not wealthy was the reason for your beneficiary's visa denial - does the white slip that she received actually state this?

I am not in the Position to argue with the people whom have no basic need to question the Guangzhou Embassy for

the way they mismanage protocol for interviews.There are many success stories,and if there had been no problem with

ours,I would not complain at all,and just be complacent as all of anyone on this site would be.Unfortunately,when you

have qualified for a Visa,and have met all the requirements,like everyone else,and at the last moment they pull the

plug on you,its time to gather the information,and direct it towards the choices for you to choose from,for the reasons

for your denial.Many people have few problems,yet in the past year from the middle of 2008 the denials have been

extremely progressive,in denials.This is bared out by the new Requirements enforced in the HomeLand Security,and

with the return of a past Consulate of the Guangzhou Embassy.There are many Online information sites,which delete

the practices of certain consulates and the true number of escalating denials from one year to another after new reg

ulations are enacted.This is supposedly scruntinized effectively towards USA Citizens returning with new wives.Naturally

each case is independent onto itself.Once in a while,a new applicant will appear,and the questions are retro active,and

thus,the unfairness begins in becoming a very Judgemental Consulate,and staff.The old regime was not grand but used

a little less discriminate criteria for weeding out the dissidents of potential terrorist,without any real definition for accura

cy,in contemplaying a serious charge against a fellow American for criminal investigation.

This will lead you to new and beneficial descretion of Visa Denials,for the Consulate to find such awful people without

concern of the Individuals life,that may be entirely innocent of such betrayals in their character.

More later.

Thanks

The hotel matron at the Guangzhou embassy said something like 55 of 58 cases had gotten pink. They must have all been rich and close in age? An aberration? Sorry you got a "no bonifide" blue. Are you going to CR-1 now?

Since the new IV Unit Chief has been assigned to GUZ and several of the infamous VOs who were notorious for handing out white slips like candy in the past have rotated out of GUZ the visa approval rate has seemed to risen dramatically. In fact, the current timelines as reported by CFL membership indicates a 90-95% success rate since the beginning of this year. My own personal experience in June of this year corresponds with this as well in that the overwhelming majority of applicants who interviewed the same day that my wife did received approvals. I am exactly 10 years older than my wife and although I would consider myself to be upper middle class, I am far from being wealthy and we were not given any greater scrutiny than any of the other applicants who interviewed on the same day. Of course I had prepared a very thorough I-134 with tons of supporting evidence just in case. I am not saying that things are perfect - it is far from it but at least things seem to have improved at GUZ in the past 6 months or so. There are still cases not being approved during the initial interview which on the surface there seems to be no rhyme or reason for but it seems now that blue slips are being handed out far more frequently in these cases instead of the NOID white slips which were so common last year.
