We originally recieved a BLUE slip at the end of our interview. I had to supply them with a notarized letter explaining my previous marriage and divorce. Which I mailed to them the next day after the interview. After 51 days of administrative processing, we finally recieved the Visa. |

Hello VJ members,
I have never posted here before but today I thought I would give it a try. I have been hanging around this site since late May of this year, but didn't become a member until June. I have learned so much from this site. I can't begin to thank the person who decided to come up with such a wonderful web-site. I have kept to myself and just learned everything I can from the wonderful people here.
Well as you can see from my timeline my SO has her interview Guangzhou today . I am on pins and needles right now !!! Unfortunately was unable to be there with her today, but I'm there in spirit and in her heart. Caixia is such a wonderful and surprisingly strong woman. I rushed home from work today so I could talk to her before she left the hotel (7am her time this morning)
She was so positive and confident before she left. And I have been an absolute mess every since then. Her hotel is right there in the same building as the consulate. Caixia said she will come right back after the interview and tell me the results. I followed all the advice from other member's here on VJ and CFL and I'm very confident we were well prepared.
I'm sure I'm not the only man who starts to second guess himself and wonder if I did everything right. I guess only time will tell right ? Well I hope that I will soon be able to join all the rest of the wonderful member's here and give something back to other's who are just starting their journey. I look forward to posting many, many more times here.
UPDATE:
Hello all,
The interview almost went off without a hitch. The VO asked my SO about my divorce. She answered his question, but for some reason he wanted a notarized letter from me detailing my marriage. He wanted to know why we were divorced. I have not read anything like this happening to anyone else on any of the other threads.
So needless to say she received a Blue Slip !!!! :so sad: I stayed up really late last night trying to calm my SO down. I explained to her that this is not that hard to overcome. We will not be together as soon as we had planned, but it will be soon. She finally stopped crying and I started to compose my letter to the VO. I will Xpress mail it to Shanghai today and hopefully this will only cause a 1 or two week delay.
I will keep you all posted as to the outcome of our Blue slip. God knows I will need more advice. Oh yeah !! She was only asked a few questions during the interview. I will give specifics later.
Have a great day, RandyR

*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.
