information to pass on and questions to ask

[Russell T 3]

As I mentioned we got our NOA 2 in 3 1/2 months and so I called the NVC two days after getting the notice so I could change my fiancee's address. Very nice woman took her e mail address and told me to e mail the address change to the NVC which I did the same day. Yesterday I got an e mail from the NVC saying they were unable to help and to let the Guangzhou Embassy know. Humm wondered what the heck but since the NVC was closed I decided to go ahead and send the embassy a e mail. Their e mail for says they wil reply within 3 days and to wait at least that long before another inquiry. Very next morrning, today, I got an e mail from the embassy asking for the address in Chinese, wow, pretty quick. Today I got home to find the notice from NAV that my papers would be sent within one week, it was dated the 23rd so I'm thinking the papers were already gone when they got the address change. Then this evening I got another e mail from the embassy telling me they have not yet recieved the paperwork but when they do they will send the packet to the new address! I wanted to mention all of this here because it seems things are going very smoothly and the service and quick replys are highly appreciated.

Now I have a couple of questions, first is one of the forms needed before the interview one that has to be generated online to get the bar code? DS-156 maybe? I seem to have played with this when I was gathering all the next forms and now I can not find any mention of that.

Next is a question about the interview, some of the questions asked have me a bit puzzeled, there is no way the interviewer would know the answers to some of them, "what time does your fiancee get home from work?" as an example, they would not know the answer or "what kind of car does he drive?" I'm sure it's meant to rattle the person but it might be a good thing to talk over with your fiancee befor the interview. Your thoughts?

This link to the GUZ packets lists the form, or links, that are included in each packet sent from the GUZ to the beneficiary.

A review of recent GUZ interviews will reveal that, the COs have a quite wide degree of latitude on the type and nature of their questions, in order for them to ascertain whether the relationship is genuine. The key is to answer clearly and honestly.

Good luck.

A&B been there many times and have all the forms laid out but I could swear there was one that needed to be done on line in order to get a bar code. It's driving me nuts trying to figure out what I was looking at.

no bar code needed.

LIsten to the wise sage Darnell. We were able to use his GUZ IV Packet 3 shortcut, and shaved a couple of anxious weeks off of our visa journey. He has helped us immensely in our immigration journey. All of his links and advice are excellent and informative reading. Kudos!!!

I still think that he (or his spirit) keep an eye over the GUZ consulate from the park across the street.

No problema. It is called "give back." There were others here that helped us, now it is others turn to help others. That's how it is supposed to work.
