Beijing Interview
Jason B:
I did not do a phone interview. Xia did one and the consulate said that was all the info they required. I can fully recomend that you write on word or someother computer program possible questions and answers. ie. family composition your birthday etc. you know the type of thing they will ask and email to your wife to study. Not that your wife would not/may not know them but underpressure from what I understand a little slip up on something is just the openining the sharks are looking for.
Good luck and I trust we will hear some great news of another brother getting his bride to home.
David E:
I was the same as Jason...did not have any sort of interview at all !!!!
Ming only had a phone interview and that was it...
We were processed by the Shanghai Consulate who are reportedly the slowest, hardest and meanest of the lot !!
So out of Beijing or Guangzhou you should not have any problems ;D ;D
I dont think thet the Aussie Consulates give visas on the day of the interview. Ming waited a further 5 months for hers....that was a tough time !!!

Thanks for all the replies!!! It seems the way the Australia government and the Canadian government do things are different. I have read the the Australia government will give your wife over 500 hours of free English training. I wish we had that in Canada! :)

Yes as Neil says - we do and it works out to more than 500 hours. His link is for B.C. but Alberta also has similar benefits. I believe it works out to about 1000 hours here. But even not just the provincial government, but many places offer programs for free. My wife has access in the Chinese community to free classes & the local public library has drop in ESL & free Coffee once a week. My wife also got a free 1 year public library card which we use to take out many DVD movies and watch with English subtitles on to help her understand.
