Guest bbzou Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 We were told that our case was cleared and was sent to GUZ on Feb. 5 by CA. We went to GUZ on Feb. 10, met Mick and Owen and the girls. The next day, Feb. 11, I went inside GUZ Consulate and asked the staff to confirm our clearance. He said he could not determine our clearance from the computer and from his other materials. Today, Feb. 13, I went inside GUZ consulate again and the same person said that our case is cleared and is received by GUZ. We had a small scale celebration today, will have a big one when we have visa in hand. Baisheng Zou Link to comment
Mick Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Bbzou and Jasmine, a big congrats to you!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't be happier for the two of you. Looks like your patience has finally paid off. Will Jasmine be able to accompany you back? Again, congrats for both of you. We had our interview the same day as you so this shows how random this clearance process is. Link to comment
stellachacha Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 First of all, congrats, Bbzou!! I would like to ask u a question. Since recently the people who posted their cases are cleared on this web ,these information seemed all got from CA. Does that mean your case might be showing still pending while the CA inform u that your clearance has been completed?? DOS computer only show the information about your clearance completed when GZ enters in the system?? CA officer knows about this clearance information earlier than GZ and DOS?? Anyone can help me to understand this status? Thank u!! Link to comment
tonado Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Great news and hope we will have more soon. Link to comment

Guest bbzou Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 I would like to thank Mick and Owen for their efforts and adventure in meeting Mr. Adams, the long trip, the accident, and the scary Flu. I tried to look up the case of Sherryagain, however, the Consulate people won't do it, because only petitioner could look up his own case. Link to comment
Guest bbzou Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 To answer Mick's question, I have spent all my 2003 vacation and another 3 weeks of unpaid leave here waiting. The gentleman at the Consulate told me that it would take two more weeks for the visa to be issued. I may not able to wait any longer due to worksituation. My main concern is that if I wait, what if the visa could not be issued within two weeks? I have lost my trust to the system. To answer StellaChaCha's question, Yes, it is possible that your case is cleared but GUZ still has not entered it into computer, and therefore DOS info line shows "still pending". CA knows earlier than GUZand DOS info line. Link to comment

That would make the trip so much easier for both of you. And again, thanks for the support and company in GZ. It meant a lot to all of us. Also glad that Jasmine got to see Li in her wedding dress. The only time she saw her before was at the interview, soaking wet with one shoe on. Keep us posted as to your travel plans. Owen sends his congrats as well. He and his better half are still here at our apartment in Shantou. They will leave tomorrow for Xiamen. Link to comment

Guest bbzou Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Thank for everyone's support, and I wish everyone will have a visa soon. BBZOU Link to comment
Guest chary Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 congratulations, bbzou. And hope the visa soon come to your hands.I have a question is that we still need wait for at least 3 wks after getting confirmation from CA if still show "pending" in system between DOS and GZ. Thanks, Chary Link to comment
Kaige Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 All of just have to wait, I was told by DOS ours was sent Feb4 and it is now in there court as, he put it DOS person, hope they serve it up soon Link to comment
Guest bbzou Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Chary, I think we will have to wait for 3 weeks after the confirmation from CA, but that includes part of Chinese new year. May be the later cases don't need to wait that long. BBZOU Link to comment

Again, congrats Bbzou and Jasmine. Stay in touch. Link to comment
