Good Luck =) You will be just fine. I remember how worried we were and it was easy. 10 minute interview and - DONE! The hardest question my wife was asked was what is my favorite type of music!

So another update..............................................

.............

..........

.....

04-06-2016 - Case went Administrative Processing

04-08-2016 - Case went to Visa Issued (contact embassy if it is not received within 10 working days)

04-13-2016 - Visa stamped in passport has arrived. (Her Visa was delivered within 3 working days.)

It is now up to her to decide when she wants to move her. We will play it by ear. She needs time to pack her belongings, spend more time with her family and friends, to say her goodbyes. The easy part is now over, the hard part is ahead.

It is worth noting, we Paid for the special delivery service, instead of choosing a pickup location. She wanted to pay to have it delivered directly to her home, it is very likely that this sped up the process.

Hey Chris,

I hope you and Zhijia are having wonderful time together ! All the best for the future!

I noticed something regarding your comment above: " we Paid for the special delivery service, instead of choosing a pickup location. She wanted to pay to have it delivered directly to her home, it is very likely that this sped up the process."

Do you think special delivery is even faster than the pickup location? Even faster than the same delivery CITIC bank pickup location? (Thought it really should be "same" day to the CITIC bank, planning on choosing Guangzhou CITIC bank)

My next step is to choose the pick up location, your input regarding this would really solve my dilemma. Thank you in advance!

And...wow! Case went to Visa "Issued" in three days?! Didn't know it wast that fast ! Really glad to to know that actually. Hopefully, mine will go be that fast as well.

I hope you and Zhijia are having wonderful time together ! All the best for the
