Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : August 19, 2013 Embassy Review : Lili's appointment was scheduled at 8:30am. Her process went very smoothly and she was out by 9:30 or so. There were two steps one to turn in the documents and then the interview. The questions she was asked were: 1. How did u meet your fiance? 2. When did you meet? 3. What does your fiance do for a living? 4. Have u ever been to u.s? 5. Does your fiance has any kids? 6. Are u a communist? 7. Describe your fiance's personality. I'm still laughing about the last question. When the guy ask about my personality she went on to tell some stories... They interviewer said something like..."you can stop now, you're approved." he he. Overall a decent experience. Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
