Yup you guys are 100% correct. I was casting doubt since this process is killing our relationship. Being apart for a year is not easy. Glad we still together and she will be coming to JFK airport next month. Do any of you knows how long the wait to enter the States once she arrive will take? Any one has every have any issues coming in?

It means they are ready to issue the visa. They will mail her a call in notice telling her how to submit her passport and arrange for visa delivery. This is the best possible news. Expect the notice and instructions shortly.

Visas are affixed to passports and the Consulate doesn't have her passport. There's more to it than simply picking up the visa but the visa has been granted and will be issued and delivered shortly after they have her passport and delivery arrangements are made.

Thanks for your blessing. We crossing our fingers too.

Sadly to say she did not pay the visa delivery fee nor they kept her passport. We just recieved a response on the status

"Thank you for your inquiry.

The Consulate has received the additional required documents and a Consular officer has reviewed the case with the additional documents. Please note that the visa for subject case is now ready for approve. Your beneficiary should expect a call-in notice from the Consulate in the next two weeks. Please follow the instructions on the call-in notice when received."

Not sure they meant we are approved, first time hearing that word bring some comfort.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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
