CONGRATULATIONS! YES, after overcoming that dreaded blue or white slip, everything else is gravy! Good luck!

Congrats! we know the frustration but count your blessing. many here didn't even pass the first time around and TOLD NOTHING OF WHY. Many here would gladly trade places with you. Don't rock the boat too much, they are others behind you hoping to 'PASS'. Stay flexible. good luck.

CONGRATS!

congrats!

start buying yuan or own chinese! China¡¯s central bank has limited the yuan¡¯s gains in the past year to 0.3 percent to help support exports during the global recession. The dollar may depreciate by 5 percent annually against the currency over the next two years, ING¡¯s Condon said. Simpfendorfer forecast the yuan will rise 5 percent to 6.5 per dollar from 6.833 by the middle of next year. The median forecast of 27 analysts in a Bloomberg survey was 6.7. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...id=aqA9QhRSNeqM

Way to go Pete!

congrats but if you only got asked for was a resume, you got it easy. on a scale of 1 to 10, you got a one.-count your blessings. GUZ has been a horror story. Seems like they have changed their outlook on life. Maybe B.O. is 'a change you can believe in' congratulations again

Hey Tsap Great to hear from you again! Are you in china? TC and good luck!

there is a high speed train from GUZ to Shenzhen, about 1 hour. when you arrive SHenzen, you can change trains at the station to HK. train station is near the US embassy of course you will need to go through Chinese and HK customs but that won't be a problem. be sure to have multiple visa enteries to china because you will need it to return from HK to CHINA good kluck

Hi Mike Hope you trip is going fine I guess it's the last chinese rule again BTW, I did see them selling in China town those black chickens. I don't think they are available too often. TC see you when you get back

Go get'em General Splinterman! we ain't all dummies here. we all know the odds. but we got a new sheriff in town to help fight off the bad guys. Only the brave need apply.

normally done by the VO who interviewed your fiancee. good luck

what smilingAsia said Everybody's background is quite different. I believe the following factors influence the result of interview: 1. Figures on Income Tax Return 2. Communication and presentation skills of the beneficiary, homework by the petitioner. 3. Time gap between your previous marriage and current relationship, how many marriage records the petitioner or beneficiary have 4. Age difference 5. Whether the petitioner has brought any alien to the US before, whether the beneficiary has got visa denied before by any western country 6. Whether the petitioner or beneficiary has any records of being arrested, being charged of something 7. Whether the beneficiary is from Fujian or TaiShan, how many children she is bringing to the US. 8. Luck. Different VO screws different weakness you have. Different weakness is screwed in different time of the year.

Bob have you tried it already? I think she will get stopped by the Chinese customs. Will they let her through without the HK visa? I know the HK customs requirements is K-1 visa, chinese passport, and ticket or confirmation of flight. but has she actually gone through without the HK visa? HK customs is not the problem I believe, I think the chinese customs will prevent her from leaving. Tell me I'm wrong, it will save people a lot of time and money getting a HK visa

1000% have it available and notarized. might save you a blue slip and months of waiting and uncertainty. think it might be worth it?

congrats!

being there may or may not help Highly doubt it will I've seen many pass without SO there and many not pass with SO there. luck is more important.

easy pink !
