Feeling very blue from blue slip

[larrykarry 0]

Thank you everyone from this amazing website. I have studied this website and read up on it everyday so I am certainly surprise with the outcome today. My financee interview was yesterday in Guanzhou, China. On the first day she submitted her documents, we realized we made a big mistake. We double check all our documents a week before and made sure all the t where crossed and i are dotted but we realized a name was spelled incorrectly on the I-134. Since I was in the States and she was in China I decided to fix it, sign it, scan it and send her a copy of it through email so she can print it out and bring it with her a week later to Guanzhou. When she submitted the document the clerk mentioned this can be an issue during the interview, since it was not ther "orignal document". Therefore yesterday i try to figure what i can do to fix it. I made a copy of it and sign it front of a public notary and fax it over with the contact information of the public notary agent butagain the interviewr did not approve of it. Not realizing how strict the counsel was with original document they gave a blue slip. Now she back to BJ and i just send it over the original document first class hopefully it arrive early next week avoiding the US holidays.

Do any of you have this experience with Blue or similar issue? How long does it usally take Guanzhou embassy to schedule a second interview? And is there anything else we should be aware of? This process is really tough and getting a blue for all the patience, time and heart given in is really sad and frustrating. Thanks for all your feedback and support. Best luck to all of you.

FYI:Another thing I noticed in China is there arefake notary services that have a legit sign in the office but are not registered with the goverment. Please be careful and make sure. That issue also delayed us but lucky we were able to fix the problem proir to going to embassy. But anyway still BLUE

Sorry to hear that you got Blue due to the I-134. That seems to be a small issue. From what I've read, no one can tell you how long you'll have to wait, it varies, but judging from what they want you to send in, it shouldn't take too long. It's not like they are putting you on AP because of CCP membership or something else.

It might be a callback letter to have your fiancee give them her passport and then wait a few days to get her visa.

Hope that helps

Other than a slight inconvenience -- assuming the I-134 is sufficient -- you have no worries. You made a mistake, it'll be rectified by sending in the correct original, and then you can have your second interview.

Being denied is true cause for feeling blue. Consider yourself lucky that you're still in the game.

Good luck.

Wow!! You sent it first class mail? Have you ever sent anything from the US to China via first class mail? If so, how long did it take. I can tell you that just 2 weeks ago I took a large envelope to the post office, paid postage, and addressed it to a friend one zip code away from mine in the same city. It took 11 days.

Always send something important via certified mail, UPS, Fed Ex, etc.

Now she back to BJ and i just send it over the original document first class hopefully it arrive early next week avoiding the US holidays.

once she submits the requested document, she could hear back from them within 3-4 weeks...

Yeah i sent the most expensive way. Will arrive in China on Wednesday. for $40 for piece of letter. Not sure if it has to stay in custom. Thanks anyway

That will be the best case scenario as of now. Just having our fingers crossed.

Best to send things to China via Express or Priority Mail. There will be no second "interview". Her blue slip will instruct her as to how to submit any requested document. If she is required to submit it in person, that's all she'll do. No second interview on a blue slip. Read the slip carefully and follow the instructions.

[Ready to do it 101]

Ok, you must not have sent it First Class mail then as First Class mail is least expensive way. Hopefully you sent it Priority or Express as Pushbrk has mentioned. It sounds like you did, based on the cost.

So are you saying once she submit it and if everything is ok then she is approved? no need to go back to guanzhou

I don't know what the blue slip says. Follow those instructions. What does it say?

The clerk in the window say she must mail it back and must come back in for the interview. The letter say unless specifically specified to come back from embassy. I guess we just have to wait until they get back to us. Thanks

We went through GZ embassy, they were nice but through. Get your original and you should be good to go. I am lucky my wife is very smart and her speaking English helped with her interview. She was the only one passed on her morning.
