I can understand they want to make sure it's all legit? but come on? Maybe I will write the White House about this? Can't make to much of a fuss or they'll lose the papers. They hate having their card game interrupted.

I don't know how many times I've told various people on here, ... This site needs to get on board, a Fixer in China, preferably in Beijing. These guys have got top of the range contacts at all the major embassy's and consulates, as well as all the government departments.
I'll tell you this much, i personally know of a NZ Guy, An American , a Couple of Aussies, and a number of Brits,
None took more than 3 or 4 months before taking there wife's home with them. How do you think i got Lucy here on an on-going work permit visa, and that took days, not weeks or months!!
The hold-up is always at the Embassy's and Consulate's, and there caused by mainly local employees that staff the visa sections, that seem hell bent on stopping there fellow countrymen from attaining visa's , or making them wait for them as long as possible....

There was a while when I was looking into how to get a job there at the Consulate. I figured I can whip them into shape from the inside. And I could too. That's my forte.

Vince,
You'll find that there are only one or two Sovereign Nationals in any visa department in any National Embassy or Consulate, and they would be senior immigration officers. All the embassies seem to know that the local staff try and restrict there fellow countrymen from gaining visa's too easily. Ask anyone that's been to there own embassy, while overseas. You'll walk in to the passport department, and you won't see a white face anywhere, ....bloody annoying when your arguing about a passport, with a citizen of another country in your own embassy!!!!!!!

Vince, you can write to any one you can think of but it won't help, the U.S.of A. has set it up so that the consulates are seperate from the Government as far as who has any say in who gets a Visa and who don't my friend wrote to his Govenor and this man said he could write to them and ask them to help with this matter but in the end they still said no and that was after waiting 8 months with a blue slip before they got the white slip all for a K-3 visa, they are now waiting for her new Visa to arrive at the post office in GZ, she got this after they filed for a CR-1.
Good luck and best wishes Tom
