Vis is finally approved! All of the waiting is worthy!!!
So, oct 29 was document intake day. I categorized my documents into three sets: Application forms(DS156, 157, medical and etc) Financial supporting(I134, fiance's employement documents and pay stubs) My notarized documents(Birth certificate and etc)
A Chinese officer asked me some simple questions in Chinese when she went over my documents:
1. Are you living in US now? (Since I have four US visas, I think that is why she asked me this question)
2. How long have you stayed in US? (Two years school, and one year working)
3. Why do you have two non-marriage records? (Due to a different hukou districts)
4. Were you no longer working for IBM? (I quit in June)
5. Can you speak english for interview? (No problem)
Then I was sent back to wait for the finger prints. After I got out of the consulate, it was already 4:30pm, totally four hours!! omg~~
The next day was interview day. I was the last 20 ppl left over, and had been waiting for another four hous in the waiting room when my number was finally called. An american woman interviewed me:
1. How did you meet your fiance?
2. How did your mutual friends know your fiance?
3. When have you been dating?
4. Were you starting to date after you return to China? (I explained to her that we have been dating since we met, but didn't get into serious marriage relationship until last year)
5. Were you both not married before? (Both single)
6. How many times has he visited China?
7. Have you met his family?
She kept typing, and I think she was typing our relationship development story in the system for record. And I asked her if she wants to see any photos, she said "no, it is just fine". After typing, she gathered all of my paper and told me "your visa is approved, and you will receive your visa and passport in one week". I was so excited and thank her and wish her happy halloween.
From my observation and experience, as long as you have all of required documents listed on the instrcution form, and can communicate well with officers, you will be fine. Be confident and smile.
Good luck to everyone on the visa journey!!!
