| Embassy Review : |
Document intake was on may 2nd.
We got to the consulate at around 12, they are supposed to let people in at 12:30. When we got there, there were a lot people already in line. We were practically last in line, so I was expecting a long wait until my fiancée comes out. My fiancée told me while she was giving them the documents, the officer asked couple simple questions like if she is a ccp member, who was the petitioner and such.
May 3rd is the day of the interview, we got to the consulate at around 6:50, and we are middle of the pack. They were supposed to let people in at around 7:30. We waited in Guangzhou's humid weather until like 8, they still weren't letting people in, and I was sweating my butt off. Then it started raining, oh great I thought to myself, this is gonna be a great day.
At close to 8:30 we were finally able to get in. So I took a seat at the 4th floor cafe, while my fiancée went to the interview hall on 5th floor. A little bit after 10 my fiancée came out, and she had a smile on her face, then she gave me the approval notice, so it was great news that I waited for.
I asked her how did the interview went, she said it was really simple. The VO just asked how we met, and what do I do for work, if she knew my family members, and if I had girlfriends before her. My fiancée also told me that the VO we really interested in the pictures we presented to him. They were pictures of our travel together. They VO asked about the different places to traveled together, where each scenic places were. Overall it was a really smooth process, but the Guangzhou weather was terrible, way too humid for my taste. |

New building, plenty of visitor parking. The whole interview process was very painless. The only complaint I have is that, it's located in Detroit. |

*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.
