Arrived early at 7am(1 hour prior to the interview); she was the first appointment of the day. Gate opens at 7:30 and they let you into the grounds. Then you line up and they check your passport and your interview appointment letter. They let you into the consulate in groups. Next you go through a security checkpoint and can store your items you don't need for the interview.
There are two checkpoints. They give you a ticket with a number. My wife waited 5 minutes for the 1st checkpoint after security check.
1 Checkpoint (Opens at 8am)
A consular officer asks for interview appointment letter, passport, photo, 3 notarized documents and keep those original documents (marriage certificate, birth certificate, no criminal record certificate).Questions:
Have you ever stayed anywhere outside of China for over a year? Have you ever lived in the USA, Hong Kong, Taiwain?
Is this your first marriage?
Have you ever been divorced?
What is your joint sponsor's name?
My wife handed over the documents and had a seat and waited for the 2nd checkpoint (the interview). She waited 30 minutes.
2nd checkpoint (Opens at 8:30am)
Swore an oath being truthful and honest and they collected her fingerprints.Questions:
When did you get married?Where is your husband from?
Have you ever been to your spouse's hometown? Do you like it there?Do you have any kids?Does your husband have a job?Do you intend to find a job?When is your plan to leave?Do you have a joint sponsor? What is his name?Where are you moving to?Where did you study?
The officer didn't ask to see any documents. After a 5 minute interview, he said, "congratulations," and gave her a notice that said her visa had been approved. Overall a smooth and efficient experience.
