The interview was fine. It went well, but with no result. The appointment was scheduled at 7:50 am. My husband arrived at the Guangzhou Consulate at 7:15 am. There were already over 50 people ahead of him in the line. The door opened at 7:30 am. All people can not bring in any electronics, including phone, USB drive, smartwatch, etc. So he checked in his backpack, only had the pile of paperwork documents in hands. He turned in the required documents (only the ones asked, they did not accept any extra documents or files) at one window. He was number 3 at window #18. The first two interviews at the window 18 were quick, one was a father visiting son in US, he needed extra information, the other was a young wife going to meet husband in US, visa approved. My husband was the third one. The visa officer was a white woman, pretty nice, her Chinese was not so good, but there was a young Chinese girl as translator besides her. My husband was first asked to swear that everything he said was true. Then the first question was how did we meet, and the second question was when we got married and he showed some wedding pictures and daily life pictures. Then the third question was what you plan to do in US. The fourth question was about the CCP. Since he answered yes in DS260, and had explained it under that question, this question at the interview was expected. Then some further questions were asked around that. Finally he was allowed to make a summary statement. He told our story and hardship due to separation very briefly. The result was "No result", no approval, no denial, no further instruction. This is very puzzling and unexpected. My husband did not receive a yes or no notice from the visa officer, no further instruction (he was given nothing, no paperwork) after the interview, just "you can go now". He asked specifically about this at the information window #23, the person there also felt surprised and went to ask the visa officer at window #18 specifically, but they both got the same answer. My husband's passport was still kept at the consulate though. I guess it will be returned some day in the near future, with or without the visa, with or without further instruction. I have no idea. The whole obstacle was the CCP problem. I guess this is not applicable to most people now.
