Are there any other May filers waiting for Packet 3 from Guangzhou, China?

Yes. But looking at the timelines there were only 8 noa-2's issued in October for guys who have a fiancee in China. We received ours on October 1, and received our GZ number and a letter from NVC on October 18 saying they were sending our file to GZ. It may still be a long wait. Some of the VJ people in GZ have been waiting six months before they received an interview date.

I feel guilty posting this because I know so many of my fellow May filers are still waiting on the NVC, Embassies, etc. But as of last Thursday, my fiancee has her K1 Visa in hand!!!

I actually considered sending a gift basket to the Seoul Embassy, they're so awesome. They're very efficient and VERY fast-do most things electronically. After we completed packet 3 and requested the interview, they responded with a date about a week away. The official who interviewed her was very polite and didn't grill her in the least. At interview's conclusion he congratulated her and THAT evening the visa was delivered by courier. Will somebody please get these guys to share some 'best practices' with USCIS???

So we're all set. Plane ticket purchased today for arrival Thanksgiving (11/22). On to the next round of beauracracy with AOS, etc., etc. But I don't even care because we'll be together :)

Best wishes for everyone else's Embassy experiences!!!
