Overcome submission to visa in hand

[Guest pushbrk]

I'm in contact with a friend of my wife who must submit a video etc. How long from submission until visa in hand?

[david_dawei]

After appointment is made for overcome submission, they come back next day for decision; then two days for visa pickup (as is standard after an approval)...

Thanks. If only everybody would find CFL before the interview.

As a follow up, I wonder if I should have NOT forgotten my videa recorder on ly last trip. We are not planning another trip before her interview. So no tape.

 

My wife speaks good English but I know her and I know how she starts talking too fast and having pronunciation trouble when she is excited or nervous. Also she almost stuters when nervous. Anyway I have concern over this. I will coach her to be calm in the interview so I guess we will see.

Thanks. I arrive in Nanning Thursday morning. The video is on my list to do. We're having dinner with somebody who can do it for us, no sweat, so might as well get a little insurance.

I'm in contact with a friend of my wife who must submit a video etc.  How long from submission until visa in hand?

You ask your SO to buy a prepay card from local Citic Bank (zhong xin yin hang). There are directions on the card how to make an appointment with their call center.

When you make a call for an appointment you need the following information:

1. data on her passport: passport number, name, date of birth, ID number

2. Case number, visa category (CR1 or K3?), date of interview

 

If you call to make an appointment now, I think the date to submit video would be next week. She will get the notice of approval two days after she submits the video and she can pick up her visa after another 2 days.

 

Since you are here in good old China, I suggest the two of you speaking English for video taking. 2 to 5 minutes is ok. Relax, dude, SO's broken English or Chinglish is acceptable per my experience.

 

Write her name and case number on the label of the video.

Thanks, Eunice. They are in China but not reading here. They already have the appointment and the video made but now expect to have word in one day and two more days until visa in hand. If it really takes two days to find out then it will be Monday appointment and Friday Visa in hand. If so, I will inform them to expect a visa Friday instead of Thursday. Please confirm.

We're doing the video thing too. My camera does video with audio, so we'll probably do the video Friday morning and have it made into a CD. I recall seeing on the GUZ speaks forum that they have moved into the 90's and will accept digital media. A VHS is not the only thing they accept.

 

Have fun in China pushbrk. I know I will

Yeah, ours will be a DVD too. It'll be in the sink, if needed.

 

I should mention that this blue slip overcome request was all communication related. The wife, who speaks English pretty well, just froze when asked to spontaneously speak some English and so got the Blue Slip. This may not have happened if the husband had remembered to bring all their communication proof. It's hard to tell from the lack of detail I have available.

 

It further convinces me that the currently preferred CFL plan of asking that interview questions are repeated until understood clearly and answered in English where possible is the way to go, where practical. Practice practice practice until confident confident confident.

 

Of course these people didn't know about Window 30 either. One thing I'll add is that the USC said he was in sight of the interview window when she got the blue slip. I'll quiz him about this more when I see them. It doesn't sound right to me.

Mike,

 

If you get this info.. I'd like to hear how long after the overcome appt submission they get notice. I know that historically it was 2 days, and then heard that they changed this to next day. Maybe its 1-2 days...

I'll be following it closely and will talk at least to the wife after they get word. This all has my wife's attention when it comes to learning and practicing her English along with all other preparations.

Two days from denial to receipt for us. Good thing I was there in GZ too! I got the needed documents faxed from VA to the hotel in GZ. Wham, Bam, Thank you Mam! And something I never suspected either! So the lesson I learned was; at time of interview, make sure you have copies of everything, even the documents you've already submitted!
