Jin's turn

[michaelt]

A BIG Congratulations to you two!!!!!

[Guest Rob & Jin]

Thank you all, now just waiting for the visa, then its real

[Guest Rob & Jin]

AAAAAAAAGH

 

They are driving us nuts

 

 

Today is day 8 from pink (5.5 working days) DOS say not in computer as approved/issued just processing. Processing what ?

 

If its not issued/ printed and and sent out today by 5.30pm their time, it wont be until next week

 

WTF are they doing

 

I really cant see how 1 day of holiday increases visa issue and production time > x 2

 

Jin is with 5 other woman at the Yangs all pink from 22nd all still waiting, this isn't the first holiday GUZ has taken, so why so frigging slow now ?

 

 

ok rant over

Hang in there, she'll be right, mate.

Thanks cobber

 

Our troubles very small compared to what they did to you

 

Just you dont have it until that piece of paper is glued in there and she is here.

 

maybe GUZ likes the "chinese water torture" cant say i do

 

Really hope the guys and gals next week are back to the 2 days post interview, its costly $ and flipping frustrating to still be kept apart, not much fun for Jin to be be sitting in a hotel for a week after I left, waiting for some hungover worker to do his job.

Ours took a long time comming, and my wife did the same thing stayed with some other woman after i had to leave to work some more. It should be on it way soon. Just a big pain to have to stay and wait.

News from GUZ

 

 

The embassy called Jin in response to my emails and faxes, said no problem with visa, delay is due to their visa printer being broken, they told her maybe it will be fixed by next Weds or Thurs, they hope

 

visas from the 22nd will take priority once its fixed- their words, but they just dont know when it will be working, said it will be no longer than 1 month

 

Dont know how this is going to impact those with interviews next week, but I'm sure it will mean a continued delay, just be ready for that.

PRINTER BROKEN ? Hopefully in the future they will get a backup printer.

lets just hope they dont get the spare sparts the same way they receive petititions- 3 months waiting in "customs"

Dont worry the printer is made in China and parts are only minutes away.

Oh no, this is a USA printer, so the parts must ship from China, thru USA, be marked up 300%, THEN shipped back.. one month at least !

[Toplaw]

Rob, this is insane!! Ping and I can't believe they are putting you and Jin through this misery. We feel very fortunate that it didn't happen to us as well, since the printer allegedly broke shortly after they printed our visas.

 

Hang in there buddy. This too will pass.

[Sebastian]

This is absolutely nuts. The printer broke? I blame toplaw - he had to get 2 visas printed for his family, so that broke the printer.

 

Rob - well hey - at least NOW you can look for the smaller food hawker markets, try some 'import' food from the other provinces, or - if yer feeling sad, hit an IT mall in GZ, have a LONG look without buying.
