re: James & Gerry & ALL!
My wife was successful Dec22. Coincidentally, my birthday.
Guangzhou is a madhouse of activity culminating with all the efforts & planning, good & bad. Anyway, I liked the activity.
It was much the same as cackling chickens at feed time with the hundreds of women gathered on the consulate steps as
they waited their fateful moment.
I will tell you what my personal observation is. One of the guys I/ we all got to know, is 82 years old. Successful. His wife is in
her mid- 40's. Our immediate groups consensus was no way, no how. We were wrong...all of us.
My wife was asked 2 or 3 questions. After all the frustration of the preparation, it boiled down to just a few simple questions. I was
thinking the interviewer, a male, must have seen my passport birthday. Good present. In retrospect, we all got to talking about the
interviews. Maybe it was Christmas a few days early. All the women were prompted just a few easy questions. The only hickup was
one woman from Shanghai, a University professor a few years prior. Her's was the 'blue' slip. But, the interviewer was nice enough
to tell her that there were no problems. It was just her prior status as a physics professor they only wanted a few questions answered.
I think the immigration issue is one of accuracy. Just follow the bouncing ball, satisfy all documentation, no omissions, add all extra information
if you have, but first & foremost, be accurate!
The immigration process is easy as presented. There are the documents that must be presented. We realize that necessity, for her as well as for you.
But the thing is the Guangzhou interview is as easy as 1, 2, 3. There is no tripping up the unwary applicant, unless something is terribly wrong.
I just want to add my 2- cents worth of thought. I hope all the new immigration efforts to be as easy as I have just written.
