Why don't you both use one acccount? Beside being consistent and less confusing, it's kind of cute for husband and wife to be sharing the same identity. Don't you think? No?

You should call to try to have your child's case expedited and/or your wife's interview delayed.

makes sense. we will just use this one for both of us then, :)

yes i have just sent one email to NVC (Attn: PI Supervisor Sue) for expedite request last night.

if somehow the consulate can approve the expedite request before next monday, then wife and kid will just go for the interview together on oct. 6th.

if no response from the consulate by next monday, then i will ask wife to contact the consulate and postpone her interview - sadly i will need to go to dubai for a week on business trip. really bad timing.

going to the interview twice w/ a 5-month old baby won't be an easy one.

Hey Darnell,

Just got back from Dubai 2 hours ago.

So NVC said it is up to Guangzhou Consulate to decide the expedite request, and forwarded my request to Guangzhou. Guangzhou Consulate rejected the expedite request, saying "we have not received your child's case from NVC yet".

Nice bureaucracy, :)

Now we just requested the Consulate to hold off my wife's interview till the child's case is ready, and they agreed.

I guess I will need to chase NVC from now on and ask them to finish their part of the processing asap?

You will stay in China for the long break?

Hey - any news?

Well some bad news unfortunately.

I sent in electronic processing request on Sept. 21 (OPTIN etc.), but NVC never processed it. A few days later paid fees online, got cleared, and sent in I-864w and other docs.

In the mean time, NVC approved our expedite request. However the way they approved it is just to throw the things to Consulate General without changing GUZ to GZO.

Now Consulate General is telling me that they will process it via regular service - "we have just send out packet 3 to your beneficiary...interview will be arranged within 3 months upon receiving the packet 3 forms..."

Called NVC twice, was told "no the case is not in our hands"...

I am totally disappointed at this whole bureaucratic BS.

eh - I jumped back to Houston already.

Any news for this week ? Hope all is well !

ah - you can help prep the packet 3, absolutely -

see http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/forms_and_packets.htm

and then

get the forms at IV Instruction Packet (“Packet 3”) section. Note that the OF-169 is very ambiguous, about whats what - if you see anything about I-129F, ignore it.

The only 'bad bit' is tracking of payment - if you've paid into NVC already, or not.

If you've already paid, then, IMO, can send in all packet 3 docs, showing receipt of payment with the submittal - without waiting for GUZ IV to send anything - it's a shortcut that works in a similar fashion to http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/GUZ_P3_Shortcut

HOWEVER - sometimes GUZ IV will want the packet 3 'hand delivered' - ie - from the hand of the visa applicant to the hand of the document pre-screener - if that's the case, don't sweat it - just be prepared for it.
