Just got back from the US Visa Processing Center here in Shanghai. We applied for Maryann's passport so she can make the trips back to the US with us in December and February. I had assembled some notes before we went to make sure I would have everything; the one thing that I did not take was the documents to prove residency but the consular officer decided to trust me on that one (thanks US Consulate!) and passed us. Charlotte's picture is still up on the baby board after almost 3 years, Obama and Clinton are on the wall next to the Clinton Flag (or was that the Consular Flag?), and the consulate staff once you're inside are as friendly and helpful as ever. Cost was RMB 1035.
