Congrats!!!! More and more visas!!!

greeneyebunny - that sounds like great news to me - hopefully you'll get some very nice package in the mail this week! fast - Congrats on your visa!!

You can find lists on the forum of all the common interview questions. My husband and I just had our interview in Beijing this week. They asked him (applicant) questions about me and my work and our life together for about 1/2 hour, then they asked me (sponsor) similar questions to verify that...

yeah, it was record check for my husband. @ fast - hey, I saw many people at the embassy, maybe one of them was you?!?

Yep, we got his visa the same day!!! Actually, I'm the Canadian citizen and he's my husband. Neither of us is Chinese, but I've got a one year contract teaching English here and he's a dependent on my visa. The interview was not too bad, they just asked him some questions with me out of the...

Hey everybody, Just got back from Beijing where my husband got a VISA in his passport, Nov 2!!!!!! Time to go buy some flights!

Good luck Zagalo!!! It should go pretty fast once you get past CPCM. My husband and I are leaving for Beijing today and having our interview tomorrow morning - hoping we return with a visa in hand!!

I find the best way to convince people you're not a spy is to run around blatantly telling them you're a spy. Who said I wasn't?!?

Congratulations Trizienne and TGR!!!! Great news!! We've got an interview in Beijing on Nov 2, so hopefully we can get a visa on that day.

no, I think they suspect me of being a russian living under the guise of a canadian citizen, I read in the news recently that they found several russians traveling under passports of canadians whose deaths had been covered up. I do have a bit of an unusual accent for a Canadian born citizen...

greeneyebunny - thanks, of course we will let you know what happens at the interview. Maybe I will bring my audio recorder in my pocket and after we can give an exact transcript :P Like a spy. Toby - I think it's because they're inconsiderate, don't care so much about the applicants needs...

congrats green eye bunny. We just got an interview request for Nov 2, so we've got a trip to beijing coming up, and hopefully we come back with a visa in hand.

Yeah, I would read that to mean, since the sponsor is not available in Canada for an interview to confirm intent, the interview would be done by the VO. It still sounds like it would be done as part of stage 1. I doubt they actually call interviews to establish the sponsors intent to return...

actually, they do take this into consideration for sponsors living outside of Canada. Part of the application to sponsor while living abroad is to produce proof that you intend to return to Canada with your spouse (so you're not just sending someone to Canada and abandoning them there) I sent...
