We emailed the consulate and they took FOREVER to reply....with a NON answer. We went back to the clinic with the visa and they told us it was latent tb. The x-rays were clear so they didn't think it was relevant to tell us. 😆 No treatment was suggested. Call the medical clinic where the examination was performed and show them the visa. They should tell you.... I still don't understand why the consulate refused to tell us why they classified it as A or B...we were freaking out for weeks with no response from them and when they finally did with a non answer... 😠. Anyways....good luck!

Hi! Hope your travel plans succeed. Would it be possible if I private message you later? My kid is also a special "dual" national. Unlike you, we didn't register them under the hukou or get them a Chinese passport. So our only travel option is with an exit permit. My understanding in regards to exit permit is that they are currently only being issued for travel to the conflicting nationality country. Check the WWAMBAM website for up to date info on exit entry permit advice. Good luck!

The domicile requirement is for the I-864 affidavit of support. I looked at the Foreign Affairs Manual that gives you the "legal" ruling of what the visa officer uses as a guideline. I have been living in my foreign spouse's country for the past decade. In my opinion, your best resource will be people in your similar situation interviewing at the same consulate. I prepared a bunch of documents because I assumed my consulate would be that strict but luckily they were satisfied with what I provided. Since you have no proof of current domicile, you will need to focus on establishing a strong case for Intent to reestablish domicile. You have young kids and school enrollment is a strong indicator. But most schools require proof of domicile within their district. 😬 Good luck! And hopefully someone with your similar situation that interviewed in the consulate you designated for the visa interview reaches out....you could also look at the UK consulate reviews here on visa journey and find a member who seems approachable and send them a private message?

Nope. The cover is just slightly thicker than regular paper and a bit wider. The cover says in bold black ink "公证书" and it has 4 slightly eggshell color pages: first 2 pages are the notarial certificate of no criminal record in Chinese then in English. The last 2 pages are "conformity between the translation and original" in Chinese and English.

Is there any one who has recently received this annotation? We were not informed of any issues during or after the medical examination. Is there any way to find out specifically why we received this annotation? Should we email the consulate? Can they disclose the medical condition?

Hello! For those who have attended their immigration visa interview. Can you share how you organized or how you wished you would have organized your documents? I know that in the grand scheme of things....organizing is not at the top of your list when it comes to the immigrant visa interview but I am the US citizen and want to help ease the process for my spouse. I am not allowed to go to the interview because of consulate guidelines... but want to offer any help and this is the only way I can think. I have 3 document holders and customized labeled tabs.... First folder is the main folder: -interview notification email -DS-260 confirmation page with the barcodes on them -online registration confirmation page for delivery of visa if approved -passport size photographs (It says 2 but I am including 5) -current and expired passports -civil documents -evidence of bona fide marriage -updated tax info for 2023 Second folder is the financials: Affidavit of Support *I haven't really gotten a clear answer on whether we need to provide this....since on the travel.state.org website it says that we don't need to bring it. And the consulate interview prep provided online is vague when it comes to the AOS....so I am including it in a separate document holder....just in case. Third document holder is for copies of documents Any tips? Am I overthinking this? Do you have any suggestions or comments. They would be greatly appreciated...😊 👍
