Hi David ,

Other than having to deal with 3 very difficult rental cops who did not want to let the SO accompany me ( I overcame that ) I gave the VO on the 4th floor the required documents and passports . We are to return on Thursday at 2:30

so I expect to get the visa's but until We have it ,I just have to wait

Thanks for the Support

Hoops and more hoops. You've jumped through them all and are still standing. It'll be over soon. Good luck.

Something that was unclear to me when we went to the Consulate was exactly where were we to go just to hand in the requested documents.

we stood in line outside the Consulate for about 20 minutes and the quards did not tell me anything so I finally went to the 4th floor and then into the 1st room - again

NO Signs -no help so I went to the Second room where it became oblivious that I still was not were the VO's were.

At about 1:45 P.M . the windows were opening and 2 of about 8 stations began to process people.

the GUZ certainly has more capacity than the number of VO's that I saw.

The VO who took our materials was a pretty Asian lady in her 30's who was an American and who spoke (according to the SO)excellent Chinese .

She was very business like , pleasant and professional - what else could have we Asked for ?/she gave us a white slip with another appointment time of 14:30 hours on Thursday - She did take the SO's and her Duaghters passport .

It was Determined after questioning others that we were to return on Thursday to the same 4th floor area.

 

THE Only issue For Me was that the quards decided that I could not bring the SO with me through to the 4th floor

THIS was After these Same guards had just allowed 2 other SO's to accompany their MALE American Citizens into the 4th Floor rooms .After a 2 minute standoff the Chinese renta cops allowed us to pass when I told them repeatedly that I wanted to see the Supervisor .

Security there at the Embassy was what you would find at an Airport .

It's better to leave your cell phones , cameras and finger nail clippers at home when you visit .
