Yes, if he gets the IR category visa he will get a ten year. This happened for our daughter when she entered the country. I still have to file for the 10 year GC for my wife in May though as she has a two year card.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT: I sent an email to GZ to ask about the status since his interview was in January. The response I received wants me to send them (via snail mail or, fax) confirmation of my email identity........lol Let me see if I can do a copy/paste here.

 

"Please be advised that we are unable to distinguish whether you are the

Our fax number is 86-20-38844412 and the mailing address is #1, Shamian

Same email address I've used with them for the past 4 & 1/2 years and they don't recognize it?

Murphy's law strikes again, huh?

Info was sent to them via fax on 03/31/2008. I just sent them another email to ask about the status. TO BE CONTINUED:...........

Apparently you beat them so bad in the last round that the secretary has disavowed any knowledge of you.

There is a movie quote from Jack Nicholson when he played the part of "JOKER" that could apply to some of the folks at the GZ VISA office. The principle is the same. "This town needs an enema"!

"Please be advised that we aren't doing jack shit with this case right now. We are unable to predict when we will be finished jacking around with your life. But rest assured that we will contact *** immediately by mail once someone has actually done something with the case and we are ready for continued processing. "

Looks like they left off the part where they say.... "We apologize for the inconvenience associated with this process."

 

I always find that part heart warming and very touching.

THE VERDICT IS IN!:

Yesterday we received the news we've all been interested to hear the results of. I have in my hand a letter that is/was dated; 04/24/2008.

Obviously it has both Chinese and English translation. Not a terribly long letter at all . More like a form type with different items that may or may not be checked off. At the top of the letter in bold letters it says:

 

"Call-in Letter"

"This letter (as indicated by an "X" below) implies one of the following three possible results for your visa application. (Chinese translation)

 

X Congratulations! Your immigrant (or K) visa application has been approved, we now only require the passports(s) of the approved applicant(s) for printing. (Chinese translation)"

 

Does this mean we can celebrate now? Or, should we wait until I/we see our son when he gets off the plane here in Richmond?......lol

Let's go for some celebration, but wait until he has the visa in his passport before getting too carried away.

 

No use jinxing things in the final minutes.
