Hello, Congrats, I will still be around in Guangzhou that time. Will let you know. I have my interview on the 15. Joe

Hey TaijiMONKEY, I might even run into you. Where are you staying? Joe

Hello All, Thanks, now it time to find a good cheap ticket. I had one but now I need to change the date and my crazy travel agent wants 700 on a ticket that cost only 1087. God, he told me to change the date was only 200 reticketing fee + 100 air difference now it is like 700. Well let me fly in to HKG first then figure out what next. Any cheap ticket site will help. Thanks again. Joe

Hello All, Finally got a interview date of 12/15/08. I will be in Guangzhou around 12/8/08 on. If anyone is there and want to meet up send me a personal message and we probably can do that. Let hope for a PINK then I can be home for Christmas. Joe

Yes, people sometime will lie just to get the money. Sad. Joe

I am curious how much is his fees? Joe

Hi, we met her in Nov of 2007 and i went to guangzhou in January of 2008 and we got engaged, and I applied Feb, 8 2008. She is crying every day, and i have not had a good sleep since i came back last week. The Guangzhou consulate is shamless. Ramin. Why don't you overcome with a CR-1? Seems that is the best way to get on track and prove your relationship. Hi, I don't want to marry and leave my wife back in China and our families don't like the idea of leave her behind in China. If we marry, I have to quite my Job and move to China, then I will live in China until I get the visa for her. I applied for a new K-1 last week again, and we decided If she dose not get second interview now, we will wait another 9 months which they may give us white paper, there are not any rules in Consulate. I will be worry about it at that time, i don't want to be negative from now. I believe in Bahai faith, and can not just marry and leave her behind, If I marry her, i want to be with her. Ramin. I didn't know you could apply another K-1 while one K-1 was just denied. K1 applied again will be approved after the denial one returning back from GUZ to USCIS. But I am not sure apply again that soon. Hope you good luck. I was be denied on JUN for K1, but I am still waiting for USCIS's reviewing now. They told me to wait for 180 days!! OMG!!! But someone said K1 cant appeal, because it has been past due. I am the beneficiary, I can understand your fiancee's mood. Life is always with some difficulty, though I am so much sad on some time. But we have to face the truth. Good Luck! Hello Strawberry, I cannot they can just say forget it because of your age. This is really sad I wonder what is the % of denial do GUZ give then. Joe

Gary, Maybe you can post a timeline in your signature and we can see how your timing is like. Joe

Actually it does have something to do with shipping. It seems like he wants to ship some vultures out of China.

Hello Rob, I thought if they use the same system if it is updated then DOS would know right away but I have no clue. Joe

Hellon Ling, This is why I don't like DOS. They can mess things up. They told me that my P2 is still with NVC when I already got my P3 on hand. Don't take what they say too seriously. It happens a lot. Joe

Hello Steve, Congrats. A step closer to the PINK Joe

Steve, GUZ tells me background check, DOS tells me P3 sent out on 9/18 still waiting for P3 return. This is hard to deal with. I was hoping we get interview dates by now. Many of the time line shows 2 months between P3 sent to GUZ and Interview. Now it is already about a month. Looks like it going to miss the 2 month time frame. hehe Joe I wouldn't worry about what the DOS says. I am sure GUZ received your P3. DOS never acknowledged receiving my P3 either. It seems they just need to finish the background check, then you'll receive the P4 ASAP. I can't imagine they'll take too much longer. Steve Hello Steve, Did they say when they send out P4? Joe

This is what I got when I email GUZ when I ask why it took so long for them before they even receive the P3 return: This time period of receiving forms includes the time required for security screening of the boxes, and then sorting and processing time required by the Immigrant Visa Unit. I wonder what do they mean by processing time required by the IV unit. So does that mean when processing is done P4 is ready? Joe
