thanks for the fast reply. I have another question, somewhat related; do you think it is reasonable to assume - if we have all of our ducks in a row - that we could get an interview before June 10? I ask this because my China visa expires on May 5 and my 90 days is over on June 10. If her interview will likely be after that, then I could 'easily' take a side trip to say - Thailand or Japan, to get out of my current 90 day timeline, then return after a few days to start a new timeline without having to get a new China visa. Or, is it easy to extend a stay to accommodate the interview since I am here. I hope to avoid returning to the US only to apply for a new visa and then return to China for her interview (in say - late June or July). But if this is likely the case, I would LOVE to have some insight. I know this is a tricky question but I appreciate any guestimates since I only have 1.7 months until mine expires.
