Comments :	Now that I have calmed down a bit and talked with my wife, I believe the blue slip is based on several red flags: 1) Our short time period between meeting online and getting married (about 4 months). 2) Getting married on my first trip to Chongqing. 3) Not going back for a second visit before the interview (I have already made reservations for second trip in March!). Overall, not spending enough time together, short duration of relationship and marrying quickly! Hey, when you have more years behind you then in front, time is very precious when you meet the one you have waited your whole life for!! Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China Review Topic: K3 Visa
Event	Description
Review Date :	February 4, 2010
Embassy Review :	Interview today, 2/4/2010..I guess it's true about GUZ...it SUCKS!!! We were prepared, the officer even told my wife all the papers were in order but still given a blue slip!! She was told to "wait for investigation" WTF does that mean? Now she is on her way back to Chongqing in tears! No reason given for denial...I cannot believe my country treats its citizen's spouses in such a manner! It does appear these "civil servants" (great oxymoron!) have already made up their minds before the interview...why bother with them, save us $131 and send the blue slip in the mail!! I will write my congressman and FAX a letter to the GUZ embassy Chief, but from what I have read here, it would be for naught! Any suggestions? I need to get specifics from my wife as to what happened and how the interview went, she was too upset to give me the details, so I may be overreacting since I just learned the results tonight. More to come I'm sure...it ain't over til it's over!! Still PO'd though!! (updated on February 4, 2010) (updated on February 4, 2010)

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
