I create this topic to thanks you for VJ members whose helped me and my hubby went through the whole CR-1 process.

After 15 months of waiting, my hubby finally received a final letter from China Guangzhou consulate about his visa is approved.We are so excited because we will start our new journey soon. The waiting is worth. I hope all petitioners and their beneficiaries will go through this process easily. Good luck !
