| Embassy Review : |
Nearly had a heart attack when my wife texted me "Got white paper". Called her and she told me that it says they approved her visa!
"congratulations your visa has been approved...."
Told her to wait two weeks to mail it to her hometown. They can mail almost anywhere in China now.
Her interview was at about 11:10 so she was towards the end of the group I believe.
VO was a lady who is very very friendly.
Questions were:
Describe SO.
When did you meet?
When did you marry?
Did his family attend marriage?
Ans: No but his mom did visit.
Did husband go back to US during his 2 years in China?
Ans: Yes, went back once to US for visa
Looked at pictures, but not the other 400+ pages of docs.
VO said congratulations your visa has been approved. Gave her WHITE paper.
My wife asked, is my visa approved? Confused because she was expecting pink for approval.
VO says "yes".
Entire interview 3 minutes.
4/5 because although we got the visa the whole process is incredibly opaque, confusing, and stressful. You never really know what is needed and when. Without this site we would be lost. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
