OMG, I thought it was stressful waiting for responses from the NVC. Today ii is May 28 in China, and my lovely wife is preparing to head to the embassy for her interview. It is official, my blood pressure is through the roof. We have spent the last three weeks reviewing every question she could find online. She has gone through her packets of papers about 5000 times this week alone and has re-arranged her photos at least 20 times.

God and Buddha willing she will do fine and pass her interview. Best of luck to anyone that is either waiting for their interview, or waiting to get their appointment.

I just received the best news ever. My darling wife has just returned from the embassy and has passed her interview. She is still in tears. What a happy day.

After all the waiting and worrying and hoping and studying thousands of questions, she was asked just 6. AAARRRGGGHHH

This is the light at the end of the tunnel. Now we will prepare to come to America in the fall so we can bring the animals.

MANY MANY MANY thanks to all of you at Visa Journey who have aided us during this process, And for all those who follow in our paths, look to the advice and wisdom of Saylin, she is the master of all time space and visa questions.

Once again to all of those who have commented and aides us 1 bazillion thanks

Thanks a bunch, it was a long journey and now its finally over.

The process that she was expecting never happened. We expected her to be there at least two to three hours and the entire process took only one hour. The questions were as follows:

1. Have you been to the United States before?

2. What does your husband do for a living?

3. Are you a member of the Communist Party?

4. How many times has your husband come to China to visit you?

5. How did you meet your husband?

6. Did you read the book on Family Violence and do you know number to get help?

That is it, she says they seemed to focus on the family violence issue.

Good luck with your interview and even though it seems a lot, we practiced her 150 questions she found online almost every night.

Congratulations to both of you!!! Your information is very helpful, we responded to an RFE, and are waiting now for the next step.

The info on questions they asked her was very informative. I hope her experience is as quick and painless
