ChadinSJZ Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Almost seems like the GZ guys are pulling a fast one for April fool's day doesn't it. Either way it's just that center's time and for nonimmigrant visas...I wonder what the total time for a visitor's visa is? Link to comment
Trigg Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Tooo funny-I officialy give up my title as CFL jesture, i can't match GZ for humor.. HAHAHA--too funny Link to comment
Dan R Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Oh Wow!!!!! Does that mean she can have her visa tomorrow or in 15 days? I'm glad K-1 is non-immigrant. Oh wait but it says a non-immigrant does not intend to stay permanently in the U.S. (At GZ consulate)But sir we are getting married. That is why it requires almost as much time as an immigrant. Oh, so she is an immigrant but she is not.Exactly!So can we pick up the visa tomorrow?No you aren't listening, your applicant intends to stay in the country. So we must check very carefully to assure they are not terrorists as the risk is greater than the man I just approved for a tourist visa who had the funny candles tied around his waist with a long silly wick. He only wants to visit for a week and see all of our great monuments. But your applicant wants to marry an American, highly suspicious.Ok so after we wait for a year so you can be sure this is the real thing and check her out for security and the high risk of introducing a disease to the country, then we can live like ordinary Americans?Don't be silly, at that point she becomes a renewed risk and an actual immigrant so you must start all over again.So while we wait can she work? That is highly confidential information and depends on many many factors.Well thank you, you certainly have cleared things up for me and it is so reassuring that all the money spent on antiterrorism is being put to such good use.. (As walking away from the consulate)Pssst Senor, I have a way to have her at your house in a week. No advance pay, just have cash ready when she arrives. $3000 in small bills please. Hey Trigg you are still Da Man! GUZ isn't a member in CFL. But if they ever show up they will definitely threaten your jester standing. Link to comment
impatient Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Hey now, be nice. No matter how stupid or annoying GZ may, no one will ever take that title away from Trigg. Maybe yhey we intending to say was no wait to pick up the visa, after if was approved. What do you think Trigg? Bill Link to comment
impatient Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I just went to that link and checked out their little disclaimer. Here it is, it is called cover your ass GZ. *Calendar days refer to every day of the week, including days when embassies are closed (such as weekends and holidays).**Work days refer only to days when the embassy is open and does not include weekends and holidays.***IMPORTANT NOTE: Processing wait time DOES NOT include the time required for additional special clearance or administrative processing. These procedures require additional time. Most special clearances are resolved within 30 days of application. When additional administrative processing is required, the timing will vary based on individual circumstances of each case. Bill Link to comment
NY-Viking Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 The other disclaimer is that they treat the K1/K3 as an immigrant - hence the reason you can only process it in Guangzhou. Link to comment
