First I want to thank all the Cfl members.This is the best site on the net.

 

We arrived in Guangzhou from Shenzhen at 2 pm the day before and it was raining very hard. She got her medical exam done two weeks ago. We checked in our room with Mr.Yang. I can not recommend staying in any of his appartments. It was the worst place I have ever stayed. There are too many negative things to list here.

 

We met up with Roger and June who had their interveiw on the 30th also. We ate dinner with them and later compared notes in our room. That helped a lot. They are very nice people.

 

We did not get any sleep that night because the baby moved so much that she thought for sure something was wrong.

 

This is Jianli's account that she posted on 001:

 

I prepared a full backpack of files for the interview, but only tax return of 2007 was used. However, I still feel it¡¯s better to have more than what the Vo might ask for. Jeff and I read a lot about other experience and prepare anything that newly demanded my Vo. I even bring Jeff¡¯s Birth Certificate. We did prepared more than enough.

 

Jeff and I got to Consulate about 7 and got inside about 8, then I sit in the hall waiting to call my name. They first call the name of each applicant, the purpose is to unseal the parcel. Meanwhile, they¡¯ll ask a few questions. I was asked whether I have been abroad before, which country and how long? Have I ever been to Hong Kong and Macau? Am I Communist Party Member? How long have I been pregnant? After unseal the parcel, I got a number. I sit back and waited to call my name to have finger prints. After finger prints will be interview. I came out the consulate at 10:10am, so I had interview at 10 I guess.

 

Ok, here¡¯s my Interview:

Me: Good Morning

Vo:Good Morning. How are you?(smile)

Me:Not well, the baby moved a lot last night which makes me worry a lot, but it's better now

Vo:(smile)Ok, your passport?

Me: Here's My passport. Here's my fiance's passport and his driving liscense.

Vo: How many times have you met?

Me: Including this time, 5. He is waiting for me downstairs now.

Vo: 5!

Me: I have a list of documents I prepared, would you like to read it?

Vo: Ok.

Vo: Where did you learn English?

Me: I was majored in Business English in college.

(The vo looked over our original application(I-129F) he has and I saw the pics Jeff sent)

Me: We have a lot more pics now.

Vo: oh. Can I see the tax return?

Me: yes, I have tax return of year 2005, 6, 7, which one you'd like to see?

***************************************************

 

I sat with Roger and had some coffe on the 4th floor. People started coming down from the interview soon after 9. I then stood by the excalator to wait. There was a lot of blues, apparently from non-cfl members because they seemed very confused even with simple things. June came down first with a pink slip. Jainli soon followed with a pink of her own. We were all so excited! We took our pictures with our pink slips showing.

 

We was planning on staying in Guangzhou but decided to come back to her home to see a doctor. Everything is ok. Waiting at home to get the visa now.

 

I hope this helps others going through this process.

Congrats fellow hoosier!! I am sitting in Yang apartment now preparing for our interview tomorrow and I share some of your thoughts. But its good enough for us and it sure is convenient being right here by the embassy. But if I had it to do all over again I might choose a hotel right down the street.

 

Hope to add another hoosier pink tomorrow. Again, congrats to you and your family Jeff!
