Your thoughts please

I am about to go join my wife for her journey to Guanzhou to have the visa interview.

She has a daughter, pre-school age, who does not live with her. When my wife and her ex-husband divorced, her daughter went with him because my wife had to work and did not have daycare or the means to pay for it and didn't see a possibility of getting child support payments. So she sees her daugthter, who is well taken care of mainly by her paternal grandparents, once a week.

Her ex-husband never did agree for this daughter to leave China, so at least for now, my wife is coming alone. (We would take her daughter if we could, but a lawyer told us this is not possible without explicit agreement from him.) Because of this, we didn't file visa paperwork for the young one.

Do you think this will be an area that will receive a lot of questions at the interview? What are your thoughts?

I told her if she is asked, just explain things clearly and honestly.

I doubt that this will matter James. They are looking at you and your wifes relationship--not her and her daughters. howefver, IF she is asked and all else fails--the truth seems to work ok.
