Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 28, 2012 Embassy Review : Process went smooth. Document intake day that started taking people in at about 12:20. Maybe 300 people waiting outside. Was raining so not very pleasant. They took minimal documents (I-864, 3 years tax returns, 2 visa pictures, notarized birth certificate, police report and marriage certificate with translations). Paid fee and had finger prints taken. Completed by 3:30 pm. Interview day started taking people in at 7:30 am. Called to window at 10 am. Asked the following questions: - Are you a member of the Communist Party? - Where did you meet your husband? - Where does he work? - Where do you work? - Where is he now? (I was downstairs... lol) My wife tried to show him documents, my passport and pictures and he said I don't need to see any of that. You are approved. Took less than 5 minutes. P.S. - One thing I had not read here... When they started the interview they pulled out a green paper. My wife had heard so much about the infamous "Blue slip" that she started to panic. Turns out the standard work sheet is green :P Rating : Very Good
