panda Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I was told by a dos officer that a reason could be that our namecheck is taking so long, is because my fiance has a common chinese name ! Is it true ? Sincerely, panda thank you all for your dear support ! Link to comment
lori&dave Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I am worried that my name is sooooo common and soooooo popular in China. Link to comment
owenkrout Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 The more common your name is, the more likely it is that you will have the same name as someone that is on the list of people to be excluded. When that happens they have to spend more time checking to make sure that you are not that person. Link to comment
Guest benbenmao Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I have a common last name and have waited for EMS for over 5 months....but I know two Chinese girls who have the same last name as me have already had the name check cleared and got their visa. Why...mine is so slow? Link to comment
Myles Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Aloha from Hawaii,Correct me if I am wrong but there are about 43 Han Chinese names.This means there are a few names shared by a lot of people. Myles aka Annakuen'GG Link to comment
owenkrout Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Why...mine is so slow?To use Eric's infamous quote, "Lotto!". There doesn't seem to be any real logic behind the why or wherefor of any of this process. Link to comment
tonado Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Not only that many Chinese have same sur names, they don't have middle names. So it is common to have many people with the same name. Link to comment
Mick Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 My wife has a very common name but we eventually made it through the namecheck process. It did, however, take almost seven months post-interview. Link to comment
