Congratulations. Hope the process moves quickly for you, but you should always remember that what USCIS gives you (a faster than normal CSC processing time), DOS (aka GZ) usually takes away.

Congratulations! Good luck with the rest of the process. I will guess that your SO's P-4 interview will be in February.

 

I noticed you were in Shanghai in January, 2004. I was in Shanghai in late January but I didn't see you there. Or maybe you don't look like your avatar.

John: Thats pretty funny. Only 12 million people - you'd think I'd run into you at least once . . . On the other hand, we did spend a lot of time in the hotel . . . . . hehehe

 

And yes, I don't look a lot like my avatar.

John: So you were there for Chinese New Year - Do these Chinese know how to party? Shanghai sounded like a war zone for 2 weeks! One day I counted 12 different places that I could see from the hotel that were shooting off fireworks (and I could only look north)!

[John & Hai Yan]

Yes I was in Zhanjiang, in Guangdong province, for the Chinese New Year. And oh the firecrackers! Unrelenting noise outside my hotel window. Days later, I kept asking what was all the noise. I was told they are still celebrating New Years. Well this did indeed last for a couple of weeks.

 

I did a fair amount of traveling in China and when I got to Shanghai it was warmer there than it was in the far south of China. One American from California that I met in Guilin said it had been snowing in Shanghia in mid to late January.

John: Yes, I can attest to the snow! I did actually get snowed on!

It was nice and warm here when I left and I noticed that Shanghai was even further south than Ventura. So I packed some summer clothes and off I went! Luckily for my, me fiancee's brother lent me a coat to use!!

[cosmiclobster]

Oh yeah, we also went to Guilin. Funny looking mountains all around. One of the locals was very proud of the fact that their mountains are on the back of the 20 Yuan note!

[John & Hai Yan]

Yeah, Same thing happened to me. I wore one sweater since I was leaving from Philadelphia and going through Chicago. Everything else was summer clothing. They told me it was unusually cold in southern China. I had to buy some warm clothing. My fiance's brother in law let me borrow a coat. There wasn't much indoor heating in the places I stayed.

 

I got some really good pictures in Guilin.

 

By the way I went through Ventura last September. Nice town, nice boardwalk, or whatever you call it. Took a drive down the Pacific coast highway. BEAUTIFUL!!
