K3 failed interview -- Guangzhou Consulate

[ChinaDavid 0]

The unbelievable has happened. My wife was denied her K3 visa (for now) at her interview.

First, a little history. We met on-line 7/3/2006 and it was magic. We spoke every day until I first went to China to be with her in September 2006. I returned in November 2006 and we married. I have since returned in January 2007, April 2007, June/July 2007 and November 2007 (for her interview). We bought an apartment under construction in Zhanjiang, China in December 2006 with construction completed in June 2007.

We documented 648 internet "telephone" conversations by date, time, and duration. We documented 151 actual telephone calls from my telephone to hers in the 6 month period of May - October 2007. We documented DAILY internet contact from July 3, 2006 until the date I printed the documentation (10/15/2007), the only exceptions being when I was with her. She showed 22 date-stamped photos, a few from each visit.... including many wedding photos. She showed my passport and the entry and departure stamps. She showed our official wedding documentation showing we were married on November 23, 2006.

He wrote: "We need a bit more clarity of the relation because the timing is not clear. Please have your husband hand write a statement of your first meeting." He cited section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act as the reason for the denial.

I wrote the statement and they received it two days after the interview. I was told by a Vice Consul that she will be asked to return in 4 - 6 weeks and get her visa then. But why not at her interview? Wrong guy on the wrong day? This should not be so arbitrary!

"Wrong guy on the wrong day" or something like that.

Amazing tho that it didn't fly at first with all the visits and supporting evidence she had.

Forget it and move on!

Unreal. I'm sorry to hear that another month of happiness has been stolen from you by bureaucratic nonsense.

An update. A GOOD update. It took over 2 months and several emails, but late this afternoon (her time) my wife received a letter telling her to return to the US Consulate in Guangzhou and to bring her passport. Tonight she will be on a bus to Guangzhou (5-6 hours) and tomorrow afternoon she will go to the Consulate -- we waste no time!

Hopefully Friday she is given a positive response and told she will receive her visa sometime next week.

If so, we will be reunited before the end of this month. I'll keep you posted. Cross your fingers or pray for us. Thanks!

Its hard to believe she was denied a visa. Could there have been some bias by the consular? Have you thought about that? Reading your post scares me.
