VISA APPROVED :-)

[avastar]

The journey is almost over. Lan will finish teaching her summer school, which her son is attending this week, then will return him home 1000 miles away and visit the rest of her family for a week. Then she will resume our journey by flying here, tentatively on 8/9/03, after an almost one year hiatus. I last saw her on 8/12/02 the day we got married.

 

Her interview appointment was at 8:30am 7/29/03. She arrived at approximately 7:30am got in what was already a long line and waited for almost 4 hours for the interview. At 11:20am she was called in to her interview. The interviewing officer, a gentleman, asked if she spoke English as well as Mandarin. She said yes and spoke only English from that point. He asked her how we met and when we physically met and got married, then he said "all set." She said the interview took almost 2 minutes. He did not look at any of the tons of paraphernalia she brought with her. She recommended that you speak English and act poised and confident, of course it could be that it was just lunch time.

 

Be that as it may, we now have the VISA, and shortly she will be on her way.
