网友们好!
Yes, yes, yes! I just got back from Guangzhou. I had my interview
at the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou on Tuesday. Not knowing what to
expect, I was quite nervous. I had heard many stories about people
being rejected for all sorts of reasons. My interview was scheduled
for 7:15 am. I got there at 6:30 thinking that I would get there
early and be first in line. That's what I thought...ha ha ha...when
I got there there were over 50 people already waiting. It started
to rain and as expected people started to complain; at least the
ones who didn't bring an umbrella. In the next 45 minutes the
number of people waiting at least tripled. It was past 8:00 when
they finally let us enter the building. There was a mad rush as
people tried to be the first in line. After going through security
and entering the consulate we found that our interviewer was
assigned. It really didn't matter where we were in line. Well now I
know and if you ever have to go there for an interview so do you.
In line I was standing behind four women who had gotten married to
Americans and were interviewing for their K-1 visa. They were all
really excited that the day for their interview had finally
arrived. They were also really worried because if they failed they
would have to begin another more difficult process if they wanted
to be with their husband. I heard there is a big problem with "fake
marriages" by people who want to go to the USA. One of my American
friends was emailed by someone on a dating web site asking him if
he would be interested in getting paid for a "fake marriage". I
guess it must be a good business. Anyway I was standing there by
myself so it was hard not to hear their conversation. Six hours
later I had my interview. I answered a few questions, sweated a
little and passed. Yes I passed. Now I have a six months to go to
the USA. I had 3 days before I could pick up my visa so I went to
the wild animal park in Guangzhou. I was there many years ago for a
competition. The animals won. Ha ha ha.
