That is AWESOME beyond belief Dong. I am so happy for you both. I truly relish everyone's success, but cases like your's are just the icing on the cake, and are SO SPECIAL. You and your wife know what the REAL waiting is all about.

I would like to tell all of the CFL members that how much I should thank you for your wonderful support. My wife got the so precious PINK after our such long waiting! I should say that this website has benefited us so much that the information we have got from the other members is so valuable and absolutely necessary.

 

We have waited for almost three years and our previous case has been denied. I will poste the details of her interview later. Here, I should also tell the other members who are still waiting for their beloved ones, DO NOT GIVE UP! PREPARE EVERY EVIDENCE AS YOU CAN, THEN EVENTUALLY, YOU WILL GET THE PINK YOU DESERVE.

 

Thank you from our hearts!

Hello Dong: Congratulations for your visa. I am happy for you.

 

I have been waiting for visa for my wife for the last two years. I am curious about your case. Did you say that this is your second attempt at the visa?

 

Can you explain to me as to how you solved your problem?

 

Thanks. . . . Ken88

Interview Details

 

I did not have a chance to go back to China to accompany my wife for her interview, so she went there by herself. When she passed the last security checking, a Chinese officer collected all applicants¡¯ tax return of 2007. The VO is a White man. Very nice and patient, but seldom smile. He interviewed a mother with her son without a translator, but he called a Chinese lady officer to translate my wife respond. The following are the VO¡¯s questions and my wife¡¯s (W) answer.

 

W. Good morning.

V. Good morning. May I see your passport?

W. Here you are.

 

V. When did you begin to know your husband?

W. Since the summer 2005.

 

V. How?

W. Through our best friends. Mr. XX had been my husband¡¯s student and Ms. XX has been my best friends for many years. They were dating when introduced us to each other.

 

V. Do you have your husband¡¯s 06 tax return?

W. He submitted it when he sent his financial support for me to NVC. So you should have it.

V. OK, do you also have 05 tax return?

W. Yes, here it is.

 

V. Do you know the date when your previous interview was denied?

W. Yes, that was on xx Month, xx Day, of 2006.

 

V. Do you know why?

W. I guess, since we haven¡¯t receive any official reply, there are two reasons: a) we did not have the detailed phone record, but a bunch of calling card. I misunderstood your consulate requirement¡ªall the language other than English should be translated into English. So I only selected some very simply emails that my husband wrote in English. However, I could only understand very little English.

 

V. (nodded his head) What do you do for living.

W. I already retired. I live with my mom who has an income. My husband mailed me the money periodically.

 

V. How your husband switched to his current job? This job is far from his original major.

W. My husband is very smart and hardworking (she forgot to mention that I had been an IT employee for many years). While he does his current job, he is still doing old profession. He is very accomplished man. I have his current employer¡¯s letter. Every year, he got promotion. Do you want to see?

 

V. No. Why your husband changed his job?

W. Make more money.

 

V. How could he?

W. Through a training class.

 

V. Do you know its name?

W. Sorry, I do not know.

 

V. How many times have your husband visited you?

W. Three.

V. Can you remember each of those three times?

(my wife cited each of those times, but she missed two days of my second trip¡ªfor wedding, then the VO asked again when he was reading the data from his computer screen. Then my wife told VO the correct dates).

 

V. Do you have photos of your wedding?

W. Yes. (my wife handed over the whole album where all our photos were categorized into three periods and with the English explanation. VO noticed that my wife had a lot of updated pictures, including one shot in my office with my wife¡¯s picture on the desk and my computer screen showing all the graphics I created for my job).

 

(While the VO was checking our pictures, my wife asked the translator if she could pass our wedding news issued on local newspaper. This time, the VO corrected my wife in Chinese).

 

V. She is not miss, but Ms.

W. Sorry.

 

(then VO made a joke to the translator and both of them laughed).

Then VO opened the drawer and my wife saw the three color slips were there. She was so nervous. Then VO picked up the pink and gave it to my wife.

 

W. Thank you very much!

 

We have prepared everything we could think and my wife brought a very heavy bag of document. We have all the bank statement, mutual funds, 401K, CDs, the Deed of our house title, money order, all the receipts that we received in China, joint tax return, the copy of ITIN from IRS, the certified copy of my wife¡¯s passport from the US Embassy, greeting cards, emails, phone records, all the nutrition medicine I bought for my wife and her mother, all the notarized docs, such as the evolution of our relationship, my passport, all my flight tickets plus the boarding passes, copy of my company security badge, I-864, all photos, tax returns, the receipt of my donation to China Earthquake Relief, all the affidavits from our matchmakers, best friends, and translator, and so on.

 

I learnt all my experience from the CFL. If I had known this website, we would not loss several years waiting in suffering. I sincerely thank all of you who helped us, who showed a great sympathy on our denied case, and who cheered for us when we finally passed the interview. GOD bless those who are the true lovers!!!
