I think the 001 web site women call her Black Pearl. My SO said she was the only black person there out of seven or eight VO's.
I wasn't there for the interview.
-
I made a mistake. The VO asked my SO for my "tax return", not my pay check/stub. And my SO did say what I do correctly for question 2.
-
Thanks for all of the congratulations. I'll keep you all informed with how we (mostly her) adapt to married life in America.
-
Better would be that you book the flights for you getting to GUZ and back from GUZ to your home city in the states, and then have your SO book the rest of the way for you from GUZ to NNG and then back to GUZ. Have your SO book all of her one-way flight to your home town with a Chinese travel agent to match your flights from NNG to your home city.
-
There were only three questions and then she asked to see my tax return.
1. How did you know your Fiance?
Answer: On the Internet last October.
2. What does he do?
Answer: He works in Southern California Edison Company as an Telecommunications Technician.
3. How many times has he been to China?
Answer: Four times.
For the question "What does he do", there was some misunderstanding and so some Chinese was exchanged.
Update: My SO did answer the second question correctly.
-
Use Yahoo for your round-trip flights, and have your SO go through her travel agent in China for a one-way flight that copies your retrurn flight.
And I was trying to save my 100th post to say that my SO got her visa today.

Read and search this web site a few hours.

Inform the airline help on the plane that you have a connection to make at the time it is, and they will probably let you depart the plane ahead of others. As soon as you get off the plane ask the Delta counter help for walking directions and maybe have them inform the departing counter help that you are on your way.

Sorry that I haven't responded after my intitial post. I forgot that I posted in this forum, and today is the first I saw and read other's posts. I'm slow at typing up posts, and don't get enough sleep as it is, or I would post a lot if I didn't work.
When I said in general about the Chinese people, I should have said in general about their culture, but the people determine how the culture will be, but the people are the way there are because it worked in general for them in the past. But if China didn't change their ways in the last 100 years, and more so in the last 20, then they would be more like they were a thousand years ago, and maybe not exist as a nation or people if they didn't change along with the rest of the world to survive.
Also, I'm together with my SO not because she's Chinese, but who SHE is. In general I dislike America because it (the government) kills and terrorize people, but that doesn't mean I dislike all the actions of each individaul American. I wonder why I have to explain some things ("spell things out") to some people. Though I know my posts aren't that great.
Right or wrong, and this is what people in general seem to want, that the world is moving toward doing things more "orderly", and that the smartest will survive better than the strongest in the future. I think doing things more orderly creates less waste in general, and pollution, which increases quality of life. And societies are based on orderly events.
-
That's one reason why I dislike Chinese people in general, they are very disorderly and inconsiderate. For example, in Beijing at the airport, everybody would rush to the each next shuttle bus, and in front of moving vehicle traffic. I barely made it on the third bus with my SO, eventhough we were there for the first and second buses before others.
-
I'll be there the 4th and 5th.
-
I went through a service called VisaPro. And they asked that all the forms be filled out before submitting anything. But VisaPro erred and forgot to send the forms to my SO, so that costed us about 15 days.
-
I was just informed that I have the fastest P3 to P4 wait time of 80 days, and that I should post this information. See my signature for my K1 timeline. Only one reason I can right now think that might have helped with the fast time is that we provided most of the P3 answers in the very beginning of the visa process.
-
-
I just provided what was asked, and will visit my SO when I want. I won't be there for the interview because she will be in America soon after that. It would be almost a wasted visit that could've been taken earlier to break up the long waiting period.

Here's China Daily, the English version, I like it:

Maybe your SO can find a way to load the Chinese version by looking at this site.

I own and use something that allows you to squat and sit at the same time. You sit and then put your feet on a stool that has two places for your feet; it straddles the USA sitting type of toilet and I pull it out when I need to do a bowel movement. It helps and takes less effort, and is more natual.

What the heck are we supposed to do in Guangzhou for 3 days?!?
Is there anything worth seeing?
How far is it to Shenzhen?
- fhtb
I feel sorry for you if you can't find something to do in a city that has 9.5 million people.
-
First, thanks for all your efforts of informing us. When you say "large age difference", could you please tell us your ages? I hope you have a good flight back.

I look at two or three sites, pick the two cheapest airlines, and then if I can I go directly to that airlines web site to see if they have a special on that flight. I did that with Northwest and saved $105. If am in no hurry and a good price is not available, then I'll search again every two days. If I can get a good price I'll get my tickets 1.5 to 2.0 months in advance. I like Yahoo Travel most, for many reasons. If you get a flight that uses an overseas carrier then you may have to pay about $15 more for the tickets to be mailed to you. Overseas carriers cost more on average, but are better on average. I'll pay $50 more for an overseas carrier. I fly out of LAX to GUZ, and have paid from $726 - $895.

Thanks all,
What webcam stuff or name brands do you recommend?

Hi All,
I was wondering what activities you do with your SO while apart and waiting. Do you play a game over email or phone, what can be talked about, do you build something together. After exchanging 1400 emails help me with some ideas, and for others. Thanks.

My senators have already expressed an interest in my case and to contact them if I have problem. I also call the Customer Service Center (800-375-5283) and NVC (603-334-0700) about 60 minutes everyday asking them to explain all the problems they are having. I also email NVC about five times each week. I also FAX them some of the time. In 36 hours I am going to ask my lawyer and senators to take action against the NVC for not completing and forwarding my petition overseas within the four week time period after I received my I-797, Notice of Action form.
My SO Passed, with Black Pearl, just now!

Because she's the one leaving her job and some friends, into not working and different culture, and with many new things.
