Gordon & Kathy Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 I want to thank you all for maintaining a great web site for all of us frustrated about waiting for so long. It has truly been a moral booster to read and discuss our problems and solution. You all work very well together helping each other and that is what is truly important in our lives. God bless you all and I am praying for all of you. I visited GZ yesterday and picked up my fiancee's visa from Mr. Hays a true gentlman and an excellent consulate officer. He is working to help us all out. He told me of a possible fraud problem happening here in China with regard to the EMSs and we should warn our friends waiting. I mentioned I thought the EMSs were taking a longtime to arrive and he told me that sometimes they are held up by an individual who calls the receiver and tells them I understand you are waiting a visa and say, "I can help you get it right away for $100 they pay the $100 and then releases the EMS. So be careful and contact someone at the consulate to find out how to take care of the matter. Wishing everyone the best. I will be monitoring the site and offering help if I can. Link to comment
owenkrout Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Thanks for the warning! Can Enight or someone else make sure that this warning makes it to the 001 board in Chinese? This is something that the loved ones waiting in China need to be aware of. They need to know not to pay the bribe, but rather to contact the consulate about it. Link to comment
Guest waterandfish Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 maybe enight is busy, let me post it on 001. waterandfish Link to comment
owenkrout Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 thanks for the help. I know from living over here that this kind of thing is common and that the Chinese usually feel like they have to give in to the blackmail and pay the bribe. Knowing that they can still get their visa without paying up will help. Link to comment
