John C Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Sign my up WAY TO GO!!! PINKThanks to all of you here..We had a 7:15 AM line up and waited till about 8:00 to get into building, there were about 150 people in line... at least Siyi went up to the fifth floor and I went to the rip off coffee shop, 55 RMB for a simple cup of coffee, but refills are only 10 RMB.I swear the seconds turned into minutes and the minutes into hours. Thank God, I was joined by 3 other Americans, one waiting for his wives approval and other two going to ACH, but I think they were there more to see how it all transpired. First person I saw came down with Pink, then the person I was waiting with for his wife approval came down white, it was not a pretty site. By then my stomach turned to stone, the knots were gone. By 11:30 My fiancee came down and she was smiling from ear to ear, what a great feeling. Her # was 91 and it took forever, she said there were all American VO with two woman, She was hoping for man, since the men VO seem to only ask a few questions. Then the woman VO gave this woman a blue slip and then called her #, She was really worried. The V0 asked the following questions:Do you speak EnglishHow did you meet your fianceHow many times did he come here to visit youDo you have any childrenAsked if I had been married beforeHow many children does he haveDo you have a JobDo you have any picturesThen VO said you have learned English very good and you have proved your relationship... you are approved I will note that I had several concerns which here on CFL have been stated as red flags.1) I have been Married 3 times- provided a letter with history of marriages, VO never wanted it 2) self employed but provided 4 years taxes with transcripts 3) When we both decided back in June 2008 to proceed with a visa, She quit her job and went to a language college full time for 8 months, I supported her and paid for school, we both thought it was important for a strong relationship.- Vo knew that we did this and stated that she has done a remarkable job in learning English so quickly I will say that my fiance did an impeccable job with her paperwork, picture books, documentation and asked the VO several times if she wanted to see any of this... VO only looked at my Evolution letter of our relationship, which I hand wrote and did not have notarized. VO looked at many pictures of us together and made comments about us going to Sanya and how beautiful it was there. Siyi, was very happy and felt the interview went very smoothly, but I do believe paperwork and how it is presented makes a major impression.Thanks again to all of you Link to comment
