I checked Wal-mart. If there is a Wal-mart in her city, they might be able to help. There is a Wal-mart in Shenyang, but they didnt have a money recieving department there. Some that have it is Beijing, Shanghai, GZ and a few more. Just check it out, I didnt use it, but I did ask and it is available.

Letter from Visa Unit Chief -L Donahue
markimwaiting replied to Charlotte's topic in General Visa Discussion & First Steps
"Yet at the same time I fully understand that the patience you have thus far displayed is not an infinite resource. Please bear with us a while longer." After reading this letter again, I agree with you James. I really like the part I just pasted above. -
I will do the same. We have talked about this topic often. It will be nice since I also like a nap when I get home from work.

My call to CA/DOS
markimwaiting replied to markimwaiting's topic in General Visa Discussion & First Steps
I think that CA, GZ and DOS has a list of the August group. To asure that the whole group gets priority, and in the new and improved stream-lined system, GZ was ordered to re-submit all of them. -

A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!

Actually, I have had my eye on one of those Changchung motorbikes with the side-car. Knew a teacher in Dalian who had one. Either that or bring a Harley back with me. My wife already bought me a leather jacket for Christmas. Now that would attract attention! B) Funny you should say that Owen. A friend just left my house to show me his new, 1995 Russian side car motorbike. It is a Ural. Ever heard of it? http://www.ural.com/ He just got it today, came by to give me a ride. It cost him about $3,000.00 -

My call to CA/DOS
markimwaiting replied to markimwaiting's topic in General Visa Discussion & First Steps
In talking with my senator, I was very adimate in letting him know this is no longer a security issue problem, but more a process and management mishap. I explained the system are now in place and they need to work on the backlog instead of just sitting on it. I really beleive that finally, someone got the message to do backlogs and not just work them into the normal everyday activity. I think at this time, if we get no results from the name checks within 2-4 weeks, the congress and senate will be more willing to jump in and help. The old statement of security needed, is no longer a reason not to do a name check. -
GZ 's telephone broke?

Read my new post about my call to CA/DOS -
The 366-1225 number is having troubles today, they are trying to get it fixed. I think if you call the CA office number and ask for the info team, they can transfer you there if your still having trouble on the info number. I spoke with katherine Kabral, very nice lady, My name check was resubmitted 12/18/2002 and resubmitted again 1/4/2003. Of course I aske why. She said that by order from above, to get all name checks in the stream-lined system, all or most of the name checks for the August group were resubmitted 1/4/2003. She also told me that from what she is seeing, it is taking about 2 weeks to be cleared. Please be aware, there is NO GAURANTEE this will be the case, only an observation on her part and not an official statement. I hope this is good news for all the August group.

I make them myself. I go to Google image search and find what I like and then adjust, clip, resize or whatever I need to do. Kansas, the rock group also used this same image on their box set. That is where I reconized the man. He is on a lot of their album covers. Of course, I didn't know his name. Thank you for giving me a bit of trivia. Phil I have met Robbie Steinheart a few times. He was the violinist in the Kansas Band. Its a long story, but he now or was residing in St. Pete FL. Playing in a band called Steinheart Moon at a local bar. Got his autograph on a creative loafing magazine.
