Blue in Guangzhou

[Craig and Mingjun]

Well, the interview seemed to have gone pretty smoothly, but due to delays, her certificate of eligibility to marry had expired. Also, they want complete contact information for her ex-husband because of her son. All things considered, it could have been a lot worse. Hopefully they quickly find out how bad her ex is (been in jail a few times, drug addict I hear) and allow us to get the visas.

 

I know of at least 4 pinks over the past two days, so things are well for many

 

I think it is time to spend some quality time with her family and friends with the rest of the time I have here.

Sorry for the blue, but seems pretty straight forward to overcome .

[Randy W]

Yes - when they give you very specific and (hopefully) easy things to return, that's a definite good sign.

 

But the delay sucks. Good luck

Sorry to hear about the delay, Craig. Hang in there, you can overcome this problem. Enjoy your time together.

Sorry for the blue. Hopefully the overcome will be as simple as it seems and faster than you think. Good luck.

I hate to add another "sorry ...." but sorry about the blue. Enjoy the time with her and the family meanwhile.

Sounds like you're on top of things. Keeping our fingers crossed for you in getting the information they requested quickly, and getting the approval you deserve.

 

Good luck, and enjoy your time while here...

Sorry to hear, Craig. Some friends of ours got blue last week also. Good luck on the overcome!

[Yan and Tom]

Word I hear is that GUZ has been responding pretty fast to info that is sent in for blues, about four weeks. Good luck.

Thank you all. My fiancee said the VO was very pleasant and understanding. She is a little upset with her son, as he told the VO that his father calls occasionally (maybe once every 6-12 months). The only way they can call him (not that they have any desire to do so) is to call one of his sisters and he calls back. If not for that comment from her son, the fact that the divorce was almost ten years ago probably would have put that painful memory to rest.

 

We are hopeful that the consulate will be able to find out it took five petitions before she was finally allowed her divorce (she started 3 months after the marriage), and that her ex has been in jail numerous times. Needless to say, she has no desire to see him, nor does her son. When things calm down a bit I will ask why he even bothers to call at all, as it seems he does not care much about either my fiancee or her son.
