Sorry this took so long, I was finally able to Skype with my fiance and get more details.
The interview date was Nov. 28 so she and her sister traveled there a few days early so she could do the medical. They stayed at the small place in the same building as the consulate, the owner of the place was very helpful and got them a taxi for getting to the medical.She said the place was VERY simple. She went early,7am,so she could get the papers back later the same day. The wait was about one hour and the exam was 30 min. The only problem was she has a slight cold so they would not give any shots and gave her what looks like a CD to give to the doctor here when she gets to the US.
Turn in day was also a easy day other then the waiting. She had to wait outside about 1 hour before getting in and the weater was very cold. She said the man was very nice and told her which papers they wanted her to pull out of her stack. It was basicly just the ones listed on the P4, nothing else was looked at. He asked her some simple questions one of wich was if she belonged to the party. They also asked if she would like to do the interview in Manderin, her english is fairly good but it helped her to relax by being able to speak Manderin so that is what she chose.
The interview day was raining and she again had to wait outside for about 1 hour, after getting inside the wait was about 3 hours. The interviewer was American and spoke very good Manderin. The interview lasted only about 5 min. and she was asked how we meet, internet, how much a month I made to which she answered that she did not know, that is the mans business. :-) She did tell him what I make for the year because I told her that.He asked if I lived in Richmond, Virginia, she replyed, no, I lived in Richmond, across the bay from San Francisco. He asked about her English and asked if I spoke Chinese,no. He asked how many times I had been to visit,once, how long I was there, 3 weeks.
He did not need to see any of the other things she had with her, she was a little disapointed because she wanted to show the book I had printed of my trip with her around China.That was it, very easy and the Visa arrived at her sisters home about 10 days later.
She did meet another girl whose bf lives in my area and they have been keeping in touch, she also passed the same day but is still waiting for her visa a month later, I think it might be the same thing that happened to A&B, some kind of review.
