Recent Changes and Interview in Guangzhou

[northusa44 6]

As my in-law's green card interview approaches in Guangzhou (within the next couple of months), I have been reading more about the November administration updates for the consular immigration interviews regarding public charge weighting and other related affairs. As my in-law is over 55, I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts or advice regarding what to expect at the Guangzhou interview in this regard. My in-law is generally healthy, though with the sort of minor health concerns that older people have (they may be pre-diabetic or even diabetic as well, they have gotten conflicting medical advice/results recently, and we are not really sure what the result of the pre-interview medical check will be for that one). I would think that in terms of the recent changes regarding public charge and medical conditions for older people, the only real thing that we can do on our end is to provide evidence that their spouse's insurance here in the US can add them immediately upon arrival? And then trust that their general good health for their age will be enough to render this a none or minor issue?

 

And secondly, I know that the November update allowed for consular interviews to be conducted in English. Does anyone know if this is actually happening in Guangzhou?

 

Other thoughts re those updates and the general situation in Guangzhou would be appreciated. And thank you!
