It said that we have to pay $131 before the interview, do we have to pay $262 because her boy will be coming with her? Does her boy have to go to the interview?

Not much you can do to reduce the background checks, from the cases I have seen the CCP issue causes about 4 months additional processing, the consulate needs to contact Washington to approve a waiver. When it comes to this BE HONEST AT THE INTERVIEW, if they ask, then answer honestly. Being a member of teh communist party is an inadmissibility proplem that can be waived. We plan on being completly honest, I was hoping there would be a shorter time frame, as her son turns 21 in April.

Can anyone help me? I need a copy of a letter that someone has taken to the interview about being a CCP member. Will it help? Is there anything else we can do to avoid a long delay on additional backgroung checks.

Thank for the info, but is everyone given a blue slip and futher background check is done which take 1-4 months? Can she write a letter explaining she is a member of the ccp only because of her job, and will this help or will they sometimes give a pinks instead of blue? Now about the boy, he may turn 21 before the visa is given, if this is the case, how long can it take for a visa for a family member to get a visa? I hope we get our noa2 real soon, but our file hasn't even had a touch since we file and received our noa1 on 4-3-09

My fiance has a good job which she had to join the ccp back in 1998 to get this good job.Question 1, We plan on telling she is a member of the ccp because of her work. Is there a form we can fill out and send with the #3 packet to Guanghzou when she gets her #3 packet(we are still waiting for noa2) question #2, is there anything we can do to now to prevent her visa from being delayed 1-4 month if she was to get a blue slip? question #3, her son is 20 and will be 21 in April, if my fiance gets a blue slip and a delay of 3 to 4 month would put us pass April and the boy would be 21, What can we do? We are hoping for noa2 anytime now, it has been almost 5 months and hope to have interview in Dec. or Jan. Any and all information will help.Please

This does not mean that you will NOT get a visa - exceptions are taken, and waivers granted so that the biggest impact is typically a blue slip, with additional processing required. Each case is different. Exception for involuntary membership. - Exception is made for an alien if the alien establishes that the membership or affiliation was involuntary, or was solely when under 16 years of age, required by law, or for purposes of obtaining employment, or other essentials of living and when necessary for such purposes. Exception for past membership. - Exception is made for an alien if the alien establishes that the membership or affiliation terminated at least 2 years before the date of such application At the time of the interview, a waiver may be required at the discretion of the consular officer. The best approach to this issue is to have the Chinese beneficiary quit membership as soon as possible before the interview, if the situation permits. It may be possible to quit passively (by not paying dues and ceasing all activities). Answer all questions truthfully. My fiance has been working for the Company for 25 years and I sure wouldn't want her to quit her job before she has a visa, if for some reason she was denied she would still have her job. What should i do? I would never lie on any form or other wise and I asure you she would not lie either. If she get denied I will move to China

I just found out that my fiance is a member of the CCP which she has to be a part of because of her job. My question is, will this keep her from getting her visa or will this delay our case because of more back ground check. We are still waiting for noa2 any day now, we hope.
