Zingaro Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 After a long trip through the evil vortex at second name check, the Great GUZ expedited the interview and conducted the interview itself in record time and smoothness. The entire interview itself lasted less than one minute. Result? A RED slip with visa approval. (They keep changing the colors on us, don't they? Then again, red is a lucky color in China.) The visa itself was received two days later via EMS. I'm sure the brevity of our interview was not the norm - but I am more and more convinced that GZ makes at least a preliminary up or down decision prior to the interview. I think in our case that 10 months in name check hell, dozens of phone calls and emails to DOS and GZ, letters to US senators, etc., was proof in advance of a bonafide relationshiip. The Chinese word is "jie su". Finished. Now the real adventure can begin. Thanks to all here who helped with advice and support. CFL is an invaluable resource. Richard Link to comment
