Just check online and it says approved since last week.  
The card is in the mail.  What a nice surprise!
Looks like they have decided to skip our interview.

Yes we did.  It went pretty well.  My attendance definitely helped a lot.  
 
The consulate is in a very nice are part of the town.  
It's worth while to just walk around the area during the interview.
 
But I was kind of depressed by the ordinary people who were rejected for visa applications.
I felt bad for them.  
 

Thanks for the research.  I guess getting officially married here may not be possible.  
How about in other counties?  Just have to find one that doesn't ask these questions.

Hi Everyone:
 
My wife has been approved as a new immigrant.  We were originally married in China so our marriage certificate is in Chinese.
But we are thinking about getting married again in the US so we have the certificate in English.
 
Are there any issues that we need to be aware of? 
For immigration, we will always use the original marriage date and certificate.
But for other US business, can we use the new marriage certificate?
 
Thanks for your advice!

You make a good point.    I'll try to be there.  
 

It's kind of unfair that US consulates in many countries allow the US citizens to go in but not other ones like China, because the US citizens can certainly explain things better than the non-English speaking applicants.  
 
I wonder if it's because the rejection rate is higher in the ones that don't allow sponsors to go in.  
 

I went to the consulate with my husband for our interview in Montreal.  I think it was more to offer moral support to him than anything because it feels stressful--even if it's not.  The actual interview took about 3 or 4 minutes, and I was not needed.  In Montreal, USC spouses are allowed into the consulate.
 
So the long answer is not necessary, but might be nice for your spouse.

Wow.  Did she come out to get you in or did a consulate official call you in?   
That kind of things don't happen too often I assume. 
It's a good thing you were there and didn't walk away too far.  
 
What kind questions or mistake?  You can just say it generally.
