Congratulations Jim, Yin, and Xindi! As you know Lucy arrived in LA yesterday and here in Atlanta today. You guys are next. Chongqing is losing some of its best people!

According to the people at the post office I use, people are mailing vitamins and supplements to China every day. They have commented to me more than once what a great business opportunity that would be.

Ours took 8 days. Our background check was completed January 15, and the EMS was received on the 23rd. But at that time, GZ wasn't swamped with clearances as they reportedly are now...

Congrats, Jim, we are so happy for you!

If you left your passport at the consulate you must bring your national ID card.

Interview 12/17/02 Cleared 1/15/03 EMS 1/23/03 Visa 2/13/03

I wonder if this explains why they don't answer certain inquiries. It always seemed strange to me that they would answer certain emails the same day but not even acknowledge others.

Congratulations and best wishes to both of you!!! B)

Here is our timeline. NOA1 May 28 2002 NOA2 Jun 12 P3 received and returned Aug 17 P3 "received" by GZ Sep 11 Background check started Sep 11 P4 received Nov 19 Interview Dec 17 Clearance completed Jan 15 2003 Pickup letter received Jan 23 Bryan

Today Lucy received her visa pickup letter. Interview: Dec. 17 Clearance sent to GZ: Jan. 15 EMS sent: Jan. 21 EMS rec'd: Jan. 23 The letter instructs her to pick up her passport and visa Monday through Friday at 11:00 AM. Does anyone know the holiday schedule at the consulate? I am elated yet I feel extreme sadness and empathy for those that were interviewed before we even received P3 yet still have no visa. My sincere best wishes for a speedy resolution are with you all.

I called DOS at around 2PM Eastern and I finally got through after about 30 tries. After about 15 minutes on hold, spoke with Shirley and she was able to provide our case status.

I just got through using 1/6 options, and after holding for 35 minutes, she said her computer is down and to call back tomorrow. When I asked about other people successfully being able to get information this morning, she hung up on me.

Dan, I have been waiting for you and Ting to have some good news and I am so happy for you both! Congratulations!!
