Hello, thanks again to our "family" for making this possible. We got the "PINK", I wish I had a magical solution to relieve the stress, but after all the preparation, and waiting I think it is impossible not to worry about the unexpected. NUWORLD is a perfect example; they were completely prepared for their K-3 interview, (I tried to get the vaccinations at the K-3 medical exam, they would not give them to us!) but we see that we must try to expect the unexpected.
well here is the review of our "interview";
We got in line about 7am, at 7:15 they asked all the US citizens to leave the line. I am not sure if I could have gotten to the 4th floor or how, I failed to prepare for this part, Yizhen had my passport, so I waited outside.
I watched as she entered the building at 7:35
at about 9:00, 3 different people we met in the line came out with pink, they said my wife was doing well and she should be out quickly.
at 11:00, I started to get nervous, by 12:00 I was so bad I put my watch in my pocket, I still took it out at least once every 10 minutes
I saw people with pink and blue from the line behind us
at 12:30 people came out 1 or 2 at a time, some happy and some not.
Finally I went inside the building, to wait, I should have done this sooner, maybe it was good to be outside with others who were waiting, but when it got so late and they were all gone, it was lonely
after 15 minutes, Yizhen appeared, I think she came down the elevator. She tried to tell me she got the blue paper, but I wasn't fooled! She was not crying! after all that waiting, even if a woman was looking for a geen card, she would be crying. I said ba ba pink! and she replied ba ba pink (8/8 pink), I told her not to be tricked, to believe and to tell the truth, I did the same.
the iterview was 5 minutes, 8 questions;
Yizhen, "good morning, no good afternoon"
Yizhen handed the VO my I-134 with the taxes,pay stubs, and employer letter; our photo album, and our passports
before they were asked for!
the VO asked a few questions about the photos, I had written some comments along with the photos, Yizhen new them!
then the interview began, here are the 8 questions;
1. who helped you to apply for this visa? my husband Michael
2. what language do you use to communicate? Yizhen explained her computer's translator, and our hand held translator.
3. how many times has your husband visited China? the VO had my passport open, Yizhen said he was here 2 times, gave the dates, and added that I was here with her today, the VO said she saw that I was at ACH on Monday!
4. what state does your husband live in? Yizhen said our home is at 9616 S,. California Ave....... the full address
5. will you go to live in the USA? yes we will live at 9616 S. California Ave.
6. do you have children? yes I have 1 son . Does your husband have any children? yes he has 2
7. why isn't your son going to the USA with you? he is 21
8. what does your husband do for a living? "he is a carpenter"
VO, "my husband is a carpenter back home in the USA"
welcome to the USA, you get the visa!
5 minutes, but 5 hours waiting, the hardest wait of the whole process, it would be good to be prepared for that wait, so you will not be nervous for the interview
only a few have to wait, but the wait could be devastating
If you have any questions please ask,
I hope this little window into the process helps all or one of you to get the pink, we were helped, and now we want to help.
THANK YOU ! Mike & Zhen
