P3 Confirmation

[Ron & Ping 2]

Hello All,

My fiance received electronic notification from the post carrier that our P3 package was received by Guangzhou 1 week ago (9/2/2013), however, the status date has not changed from when the P3 checklist was sent to her on 8/23/13. Is it common for the status date not to change within a week of receipt? If not, is there a number we can call at Guangzhou to receive confirmation that our package is in-hand?

Regards,

Ron

You can email them http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=China&cty=Guangzhou

The email address on that page is for the USCIS, not the Dept. of State IV Unit, which is who you would need to contact.

However, they rarely provide any information at all (including whether they've received the package) until they're good and ready to deal with your package.

Typically two weeks after P3 for anything to change with the status.

A few girls in my fiancee's QQ group have reported that their interview dates have been cancelled because they did not receive P4. One girl also reports that she received a call from the IV unit telling her that she should not have scheduled an appointment prior to P4 so she had to cancel and now they are delayed even further. It is up to you but I would recommend to everyone to not schedule an interview date prior to P4 as the embassy is now looking for that and delaying the sending out of the P4 Emails.

Hello All,

Thanks for your input and advise, it's much appreciated! My fiancee will resend her P3 package just in case our package was lost, as many others that she talks to on QQ have received status updates within 3 days of receipt.
