Thanks again all!! Just found out interview is Oct 19th!! WooT!

Hey all, lots of great info here, so much as I have never even had to ask a question that wasnt already answered! thanks! We just sent back our p3 and are waiting for the interview date. After the interview we would like to go to a beach in Thailand but realize that the Consulate keeps her passport to attach a visa correct?? Does anyone know how long this normally takes? Because, of course, without a passport we cant go anywhere outside China. Anyone else have this predicament? Thanks again for all the help here!
