thanks Arnold, actually I am hoping for a slam dunk, which would mean she (Lan) would get the Visa without an interview.   :)

You have a good embassy to deal with.  Beijing is so much faster to deal with that Hong Kong, and also, a much higher approval rate!!!

Some more good news to share. We recieved email from Beijing for the interview request for my wife on March 27. Less than 2 weeks away.
We were just chatting last night, talking about how much we miss each other and hopefully we will recieve some good news soon. Then she called me about 1 am with the happy news. I turned on my laptop, and there was the email.  :) :) :) :) :) :)

Great Mark, now practise those possible questions that are going to be asked. The better you two are prepared the less nervous she'll be. Good Luck, and may it come out all "PINK" !

Maybe we should set up a forum webcam service so that the woman can be 'interviewed' by several different members to get them used to speaking to Non Chinese strangers with different accents.

Just an idea.
