Boy, Darnell, you have been busy posting today. My fiancee has since received and returned her packet 3 and we are waiting for her packet 4 and interview.I noticed you disappeared for about 6 weeks, but lets be honest, the world still kept rotating.Life goes on. I hope you had fun during your time off from the board here. I know you aren't really an employee of the VJ Board, but during my first 2 months here, you were a daily poster. Then nothing.Glad to see you back. Bill

LGC, Have you heard anything from the consulate? It has been a month since we sent back Packet 3 and still no packet 4. My Fiancee is getting dispondent.She is talking about the cold in Taishan. I cann't believe that they don't have heat in the homes or stores in Taishan. I am suprised they aren't freezing to death. Idaho is cold, but at least everyone has furnaces and heaters. I keep trying to get my Fiancee to buy a space heater and she says they don't have such things in China. I thought that was where all our space heaters were made. Bill

SpeedyTax - are you calling DoS on occassion? at this stage - you should -

as they'll know all status, even the 'appointment date set' thingie that is 'made' prior to sending out the P4 packet.

Please review http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/264972-shortcuts-when-checking-for-updates-from-the-nvc-and-dos/

Dodi's posted 'how to call' and further down (ya, keep scanning) I've posted WHAT YOU CAN GET, and from whom.

Good Luck !

yeah, the cold sucks, easpecially this year, usually they dont last as long as this time. just couple hundreads RMB, any electronic stores should have them, but my fiancee insist not to waste money, now she got a cold.

average time between 70-75 days, let hope we dont have to wait that long. call today, still waiting for a interview date to be set.

Darnell, I called DOS and they say nothing scheduled yet,

And LGC, yes, My Fiancee has a cold right now too. She bought a hot water bottle and she was in heaven. She loved it, I told her she would love a space heater too. But as you say, she says the electricity would be too expensive. I have offered to pay, but she thinks it would be a waste. I guess you cann't miss anything that you never had. I was hoping she would be here by Valentines Day, but I guess not. Thanks Bill

we wouldnt know what to do without your threads, i am greatful for all the help you have given me.

i have a surprise planned for Valentine's day for her... but this is a way better gift that we can ask for.

[Darnell 8,478]

let me make a different suggestion for you - for 'the surprise'

she's gonna be at Guangzhou, the IV Unit that day - so

engage the Yang Family to spend some time with her after the interview, in the afternoon -

ie

tell yer lass to meet up with Mrs. Yang immediately after the interview

and

pay the Yang's to prepare a meal there, and give her any gift you wish to give her.

There are fees involved, but are minimal -

The good thing about the Yangs - is that their mini-hotel IS IN the same building as GUZ IV UNIT. Tianhe Phase II.
