The interview went well. She was very prepared, had a ton of documents, pictures, etc., but the only thing they wanted to see was her J1 waiver letter. No pictures, or any other proof required. She waited for hours and was approved in like 15 minutes. Crazy
Big issue now is that her approval letter mentioned she would receive her visa in 1 to 2 weeks. Well, it has been slightly over two weeks and her visa is still "processing." Very annoying considering her flight is in a week! We haven't been able to get any information from the consulate, they just parrot the same response "The visa is still processing. Please wait." Maddening.

Overall the experience was quite nice and went well. Here is a breif overall view of the whole process.
8/15 Arrived for medical exam at Guangzhou medical facilities. They had requested 5 instead of the 4 photos that it shows in the information. In at 8am (called twice and both time we were told no appointment was required)and finished by 10:30. Returned at 3:30 and picked up results.
8/16 Process started 1 hour early (because of the number of visa applications scheduled for that day. Asked these questions (in Chinese) by the intake VO 1. are you a member of CCP? 2. Have you ever traveled to the US before? 3. Have you ever traveled to any other country before? 4. Do you speak English. Everyone at this area spoke Chinese which was nice. My Fiance had sent me more forms than needed so they returned some that would be needed for the AOS. Got finger prints and finished by 1:45
8/17 Arrived at 7AM a fairly long line already but started letting people in a little early... read complete review

The first day is document intake and finger print. I am almost the last person to be called to give documents in one window. A Chinese woman was in a big hurry and asked me to give her documents quickly. She did not explain everything to me, and just asked me to follow an instruction in a slip of paper hanging on her window. Before I was sitting there to see her to be very impatient to others, so I know she did not just treat me in this way. She wants original three years tax transcripts of my fiancé which fortunately we have prepared, but she doesn’t want any other evidences, such as, our engagement evidence…She just was impatient for document intake, but she is not mean to say something. After document intake, I was a little worried the next interview day the people working in the consulate will push me to be hurry and don’t listen to any explanation and see any evidences I take with me.
The next interview day, when I went into the immigration hall to wait, I f... read complete review

On Document intake day, I arrived with my fiance to a HUGE line of folks, divided by appointment time. GUZ handles a lot of refugee folks in addition to 'normal' immigration so be sure you are in the correct line. It took quite a while to sit through the line but it became my turn and the Security Officer told me I couldn't accompany my fiance inside, but he let her go in. My fiance said she waited about 2-3 hours before it was her turn. During her turn, she spoke to Chinese persons and submitted her paper. They advised her to bring way un-necessary things to the actual interview. Speaking of which, the next day - my fiance arrived early but still waited for about 4 hours in the cold waiting room. While there, she observed countless rejections and crying; she was a little nervous. However, when it was her turn she was quite confident and the interview only took about 2 minutes. Her visa arrived within a week and she arrived to the USA two weeks later.

The conversation at the embassy went like this:
My answers were a little more detailed, but for privacy sake they are abbreviated.
1. Give me the photos.
2. When did you meet? A: 3 years ago
3. How did you meet? A: On a website
Then she started to read my profile. My birth evidence, unmarried evidence, no crime evidence.
4. Has he ever been to China? A: Twice.
5. Where is he now? A:
6. Are you a communist? No.
7. Have you ever been abroad? No.
She was about to call the next person by clicking the next persons number, then I knew she was going to finish our interview, so I asked her, I have my chat logs and emails dont you want to see. She said she didn't need them. She said you will get your passport and visa in 1 week. She kept my passport and she gave me a white paper.
Such a relief! Overall a good experience, but I think it was because I had all of the paperwork and didn't trigg... read complete review
