K1 Visa Processing in Guangzhou
The U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou will notify the applicant when the approved petition is received and mail the applicant an instruction packet including biographical data forms (DS-230 and OF-169). This packet also includes a list of specified branches of the CITIC Industrial Bank where applicants can pay for the RMB830.00 processing fee prior to the interview.
A fiance(e) visa applicant is an intending immigrant and, therefore, must meet documentary requirements similar to the requirements of an immigrant visa applicant.
After we finish initial background clearances for the case, we mail the applicant an appointment packet of interview-related information. This packet includes an invitation to the interview, required medical forms and contact data for specific hospitals approved to conduct medical checks.
The U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou handles thousands of cases every month. Hence, you can expect five months between the time we receive the applicant's DS-230 part one and OF-169 forms and the time an interview is scheduled.
During the interview, it is the applicant�s responsibility to provide information to show a bona-fide relationship with the petitioner. The adjudicating officer uses the interview as well as the information brought by the applicant to make a decision. If the visa is denied, the applicant will have an opportunity to provide further evidence of the relationship.
If the visa is approved, expect a 2 to 14 day wait, is delivered to postal address via EMS. The visa will be normally valid for half a year.
If you have further questions, contact the Guangzhou Immigrant Visa Unit at http://www.usembassy-china.org.cn/guangzhou/iv/email.html.
