impatient

Congrats to both of you and here is hoping for her visa so you can be togther. Bill

James, congrats to you both, welcome to the waiting room. Bill

DavidZixuan, are you implying that I have said or done something that my SO would not be proud of? If so you obviously do not know me or her Bill

bandj, congrats to both of you and good luck on your new future. Bill

xulei601, so you do not think it is appropriate anymore? I do. What do you suggest? A-hole or something of that nature? Bill

Hey guys, I don't want to know what the priority date is because then it would piss me off if we were no where near it. And I do not need anymore help in that area. I think this has been long enough already but it ain't over yet. And yes I know there are others like you Feathers268 that have been waiting long before us but I for one am ready to get this over with and get her here. Bill

MRMC, I second that thought, welcome home to both of you and congrats on your journey. Bill

Feathers268, I think you would get a unanimous vote on that comment, except from GZ Bill

Hey kicking, if you could actually come up with "real dates" you would be the best friend of everyone here. We all would like to know the answer, but I also think some of the people that are way ahead of us that are already married should get theirs done too. My heart goes out to all of you that are waiting more patiently then some of us, mainly I mean me guys. Bill

Mengxin, I can also sympathize with you and your wife. This whole process is very rediculous. I did not go thru Vermont, I went thru the turtle of Nebraska but I still have nothing to complain about compared to you. I do agree that husband and wives should have the top priority. I wish there was a way to get some type of logical order thru their thick skulls but apparently when it comes to government procedures, you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Hang in there, you will prevail. Bill

Good luck nooneufo, we both wish you the best of luck for you and your future spouse. I am sure you will get the visa no problems. Thanks for all of your hard work on the charts. Bill

I thought the FBI did the name check before it went to GZ???? Bill

Congrats MRMC to both of you, now you can finally relax and quit stressing.. Bill

Good luck Boba and Meixiang, hope everything goes very smooth for all of you. Bill

nooneufo, our papers are at GZ but not sure if logged in there yet. ?They only told me they were there but the name check is not done. Bill

Jason, first off congrats on the quickness here. I also had the filled out DS230 that I took to my SO but I had her just use it as a guide to make sure. I really didn't want to delay it any longer or take any chances. I did nothing about the telegraphic codes and I am not sure if she did either. I know this is not much help but that is all I can offer. Bill

I just talked to my SO and she told me that they did give her 3 copies of each but she did pay 2500. But the good thing is she did it all in ShenZhen so she did not have to travel back to her hometown. She did not ask for a copy of my passport either. Bill

My SO just had hers done but I forgot to tell her that we needed copies of them. She ended up paying about 2500 rmb. Will I have to pay for this again. Bill

Congrats to both of you and good luck on your future. Bill

Brings new meaning to CYA and baffle them with bullshit Bill

Mark, I have to agree with you that the people at the consulate work for us. It is our tax dollars that pay their wages but you sure would not get that same impression from anyone there. I also thought the people at GZ just going into the consulate have been very rude and unprofessional in everyway. We have not even made it to the interview yet and I am dreading this very much but want to get it over with so we can be together . Thanks for the insight. Bill

it sure will kill the tourism north and south. Bill

Triig, somehow I expected that answer from you. You are a baaaaaaaaaaaaaad man. Bill

Or maybe they have the same work ethics that GZ has.......NONE. They probably have no sense of job insecurity so they probably figure who cares .......Besides I bet the get to see their SO everyday so it is not imergent to them Bill

I am in the same boat as David and Zixuan are, same days and timeframe. We both got our P3s the same day. Come on GZ, get to work. Do not worry Aquach, yours should be there very soon. Bill
