Blue RFE

[bobbyA 20]

Darnell,

Thank you, as always, for your insight. She said she answered in English and Chinese depending on the questuon and her comfort level answerinf the question. She said her VO was a man with dark glasses who wouldn't return her smile (seems I hear read that description on a lot of the negative reviews of the consulate, maybe just my imagination.) Shes said he asked one question threee times, about when we met. Sheanswered the dates I was there with her on all three answers. I think the question may have been how did you meet and she didn't understand it, or it wasn't asked correctly. Because of her mothers health (we thought about rescheduling), so everything was done at the last minute. Health exam Monday before appointment, fee paid Tuesday morning before the afternoon appointment. I wish I could have been there with her.

I contacted the consulate and told them of the RFE with no description of what was needed, but a verbal of more photos, no more were available, and what else do we need to do. The response was nothing else wait several months for the administrative process.

Thanks,

Eric

Eric,

Thanks for sharing your SO's interview experience, and confirming that photos were not the issue.

As I suspected (not that I'm an expert on this issue), the consulate didn't like something about your case and wanted time to do more reviewing and processing.

I guess we can only wait this one out.

I hope you will hear something soon. I'd probably contact them again at the end of 2 or 3 months just in case they forgot about your case. In the mean time, I encourage you (if possible) to visit China for 2 purposes:

1. to see your SO, I'm sure she misses you.
2. to generate a new passport stamp, boarding pass, etc to show ongoing relationship and further demonstrate a "bona fide relationship".

By the way, did you email or call to the consulate? I am still in the very early stage of my journey, and I'm learning from people like you who has been there done that

Thanks again for sharing!

BobbyA,

Sorry for the wrong greeting. Thanks to you. Maybe three trips is the lucky number. I visted her in May 2008 and again March 2010, when I proposed to her. The email has a link for e-mailing questions to them. I used that. They say usually allow three days for a response. They responded to me on Tuesday. I sent the e-mail on Sunday, MLK Day was Monday, so that was a quick response. Maybe there is some unstated number of different places your pictures together need to be taken. This is my first time too, s I'm learning as I go. Lot of good resources here, just didn't find the site until my I129F was submitted to the NVC.

Thanks agian,
