Hi., I hope that your fiancee has received the visa. Best Jiang

My wife just received a letter from Guangzhou that her visa had been approved. She will send in passports, hope to get them back asap. To sum it up, she got a blue slip at the end of April, we emailed resume/non-ccp statement in early May. It's about 8-9 weeks so far. In the mean time, I got our congressman to make an inquiry to which GZ sent a letter to confirm that it was still under administrative process. I have no idea whether the inquiry helped or not. We applied in July 2011, so it's 12 months so far. It's quite a ride. Jiang

I sent in all info requested yesterday, and form emailed them for confirmation today. GUZ sent a quick reply back a few hours late saying that "... your case is under review by a Consular officer ...". It's nice that they replied quickly. I am waiting... Jiang

My wife is not a CCP, and was not a CCP. The VO asked her about it, she answered no. The VO asked her to write it in writing along with the resume. My wife's resume is pretty simple, she has only one job after college, but we have to track down all her publications.

Now come to think of it, you are probably right. DS230 requests to answer every question, that's why I didn't leave it blank. Does that mean that particular question is designed as a trap? FWIW, people working in hospitals in China are making a very good living.

In DS230, there's a question in item 32: "In what occupation do you intend to work in the United States", we answered it as "medical researching". If we say "undecided", will VO come back to bite us? When we fill in that item, I didn't give it much thought what's required to work in the lab of a hospital. I thought the employers will not offer a job to you if you don't have all the necessary certifications in the first place. Thank you so much. Jiang

My wife had an interview in Guz a few days ago for CR1 visa, the VO requested to have a Resume/Travel history/Work plan. The first two parts are ok. The "Work Plan" asks: provide a work plan explaining where the applicant(s) will seek employment after immigranting to the United States. My wife works in a hospital lab, doing technical work and research. It's not clear to me what they want. She has 3 options. 1) stay at home, 2) stay in the medical field, 3) do something else. Does she need to have a plan for all of them or just take one and run with it? Thanks a lot for any tips on it. Jiang
