how much notice from NOA2 to interview

[andersensr68 0]

We are still waiting on our NOA2 and are hopeful that will happen soon. I want to go and be with my fiancée at the interview even though I can not go in it will give her morale support to know I am close by. I am wonder how much time to they give you when they notify you of your interview. Is it days, weeks or months? It will be hard to request a vacation, apply for visa and purchase plane tickets on a moment notice.

I am not sure how long it will take before she will get her NOA2 but a multiple entry visa will be valid for 6 months or 1 year (depends what you request). However, you are only able to get this one when have been to China for 2 times or more during the last year. A double entry visa is also something you can consider as these are valid for 6 months (mine were anyways).

Also: the spouse or relatives of Chinese citizen who can provide the relevant proof, the maximum duration of stay in China could be as long as 180 days.. I am, however, unsure how this works and how much time this will cost to do since I never did this myself.

I know this is not exactly what you asked for but it might give you some breathing space when you have the visa for China. A plane ticket shouldn't be too much problem to fix

Once you recieve the NOA2, it will be sent to the NVC. After processing at NVC, it will be shipped to Consulate in Guangzhou. Your SO will get a Packet 3. She must complete and return this to the Consulate. Aftter processing the Packet 3, the Consulate will send Packet 4 and a letter of invitation for the interview. The interview is generally 30 days from then. The Guangzhou Consulate generally takes 4 to 5 months from recieving paperwork to interview. So, you have a lot of time, but you do not know the interview date for sure until you get Packet 4.
