Review done by my wife below, written from her perspective:
7:00 am Arrive consulate (Zhujiang New Town Subway Station Exit B1, an escalator out of the ground to go up, you can see the consulate building), there is a small building in front of the consulate entrance security screening, immigration interview on the building entrances far left, there are signs, where people lined up, it is easy to find. Because early, so many people are waiting in line at the entrance.
Around 7:20 interviews with security personnel out to remind people lined up waiting.
Special note: all electronic products such as mobile phones, watches, umbrellas, large bags, big bag, backpack, drinking water and so can not be brought into the consulate. The new consulate is not set on behalf of depository (no charge).
I had a little larger than A4 environmental bagged data without problems, but also to see someone holding a laptop bags and backpacks are rejected. In addition there are a few women in the door offering temporary private storage (because I did not need, so do not ask specific price, and is not recommended to do such custody, there is no security to speak). As is raining today, I has an umbrella, but also with the watch, thinking these things are not very valuable, worthwhile to pay for private storage, we can only discard the spirit to try their luck, the watch wrapped in umbrella, carefully placed flower bushes outside the door, my daughter also pray that we come out when things are still just fine.
There are two at the entrance of the staff re-examine appointment letter and passport, and then printed a piece of paper with a bar code affixed to the passport back (note the contents of the register on the site to receive a visa CITIC Bank Address Code) . Grab yourself a passport and appointment letter to a person (parents siblings children are considered a person) as a unit, separate intervals into the security office. After entering the shoes, the shoes and bags placed over security belt.
A security checkpoint followed the instructions to enter the consulate building, because the 7:30 interview is the first batch, so arranged on the third floor, the elevator on the third floor holding an appointment letter and passport queue, after the 1st and the 2nd window windows staff checks appointment letter and passport will be given a number of letters + numbers, holding a number according to the above letter, respectively A B C D good sitting area called the number.
The first call number: There are Chinese nationals staff inspected and receive information, I choose to use Chinese interview back seat again after waiting a second call number.
Here I have a question to remind behind JM attention, all information submitted must be original, I made this mistake, my I-864 and the tax bill is a PDF scan 2009,2010, rejected ! Even my husband I-864 notarized signature on the copy nor do not recognize is equivalent to the original. Fortunately, my husband used to apply for a foreign tradition, all applications are submitted originals, so I finally cross the border. Moreover, because my husband and I married in Hong Kong, a marriage certificate in the English translation, so there is no notary in China do, my husband put marriage certificate submitted to the NVC, the last information received when they were told that if you want to return the original copy must be used in exchange, but fortunately there is a copy of the interview after clearance consular officer put the original back to me.
The second call number: It is a handsome blond foreign consular officer interview, see this guy before women female praying it must be also kept his interview just fine.
Fingerprinted (female woman 11 years old without pressing fingerprint), oath, signed DS-230 file
Interview Questions:
1, How do you and your husband know each other?
2, What does your husband do?
3, Where your husband live?
4, your husband back China how many times?
5 Have you ever been to America? Been to other countries?
6, your husband likes your cooking? (My answer, I can not cook, my husband likes to cook for me to eat)
7, every day you have a connection? (My answer: Because of time differences, talk twice a day)
Then give me a consular officer domestic violence leaflet, tell me questions you can contact them.
Finally told me that I passed the interview, give me a "visa to receive notice" (red bar can be no IOUs oh), also told me that the visa will be completed in one week and sent to my designated CITIC Bank, and Let me once again in their seats waiting to do so on the 13th window to confirm whether you want to pay the final data.
2 minutes later, again called the number, the 13th I did not notice any problems with windows can be left.
We left the consulate, female woman to try to find our umbrellas and watches, even in really good luck. At his watch time is 9:35.
My brief interview process is completed, I hope the next interviewees help it.
Last reminder: Consulate which did not provide drinking water, toilets, but worried that number to re-take number. |
