K-1 Visa Approval for Ping and George in 278 days in Guangzhou, China

[EZgoing378 0]

Hello All,

Ping and I, known on this site as EZgoing378, met in Guangzhou, China recently to see each other and to go to the Consulate for her interview. I am happy to report that Ping did a wonderful job in her interview and received her K-1 visa. She will join me in the US by the end of August. For those that want details on the interview, please go to our Profile page and then to our timeline. I completed a report. I believe you can review the Interview reports from there.

Any Questions? I am happy to answer. Either direct them here or send a message here on VJ.

Now once I get my bride home, we will continue the process and move on to AOS EAD AP..... the alphabet soup of immigration but it will be much easier together. I appreciate everyone's assistance on these 278 days on the first leg of our Visa Journey.

Of course congratulations on the successful interview. Explain how you got outta GUZ (plane/train/etc.) and how you are getting back here to the MidWest. Maybe do so in the China forum. I am going to GUZ in the next few months and would like to know how others did it.

Congratulations on your visa!! I hope the move to the States is a smooth one for you both, and yes, I agree, going through the rest of the "alphabet soup" ( hee hee I love that) of immigration together will be much easier.

Of course congratulations on the successful interview. Explain how you got outta GUZ (plane/train/etc.) and how you are getting back here to the MidWest. Maybe do so in the China forum. I am going to GUZ in the next few months and would like to know how others did it.

Thank you for your comment. That is a good question and the truth is that there are many ways to get to GUZ. The way I got there was not very pleasant. I flew to Hong Kong because a round trip rate from Chicago was only about $900. The thing is that Hong Kong isn't exactly on the same system as mainland China, so if you fly into Hong Kong, and take a bus to GUZ, about a 3 hour ride and not expensive. You have to go through customs leaving HK, then on the bus ride, when you officially leave HK and enter China, you have to go through immigration into mainland China. That wouldn't be so bad if you just got off the bus and showed your papers but not so. YOu have to take your bags off of the bus and go into some type of terminal, while inside you do the normal immigration routine which I never understand. Then you leave on the other side of the terminal and hope you find your bus. It gets tiring because this is at the end of a long flight and you can't wait to get to your hotel.

After I got there I found that another way to get to GUZ is to fly in to Hong Kong and then take the Ferry directly from the airport. If you do it like that, the only customs you have to deal with is immigration when entering China. It is like you were never in HK. I met my girl in GUZ so I went there from the states. If you go to your girls hometown first, then flying to GUZ is easy. It is a domestic flight.

For me, the route I choose to get to GUZ was a big mistake. Flying for 15 hours, then the 3 hour bus ride, my feet got very swollen up. I didn't allow for a couple of days for my body to recover and had duties to perform like going to the American Citizens Hour and such for the next 3 days. The last day being Ping's interview. The best advice I can give anyone is to get there a couple of days early. It is a long dusty trip. Southern China is HOT and HUMID and the people there are not like in the North.

I hope I answered your question. If not, just message me another question. This is a hard subject to explain. I need to know where you will be coming to GUZ from and where you will go after.

Good Luck when you go.
