I-130 Spouse - cannot contact US consulate in Beijing

Hi, I have been trying since Oct 9th every working day (excluding their holidays)at the US consulate in Beijing to try and contact them through email, leaving messages, and just calling them every hour to make an appointment to file my I-130. Since then, I've been lucky once but the lady who picked the phone up last week said I could not make an appt. till this week since their offices were moving. Well, they still wont' pick up their phones and I'm not sure how to make an appointment with them if they will not do their part in helping? This is the phone number and email I've been trying:

010-8529-6740 . I reside in China so I use this number.

DHSBeijing-CIS@dhs.gov

Can someone please give me any advice or experiences you've had with them? thanks.

Wow I'm sorry that must be frustrating, is it too far from where you live?, if I was you I'll just show up they are supposed to receive US citizens, just bring your passport.

Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear about the awful trouble you're having with this. It's crazy that it seems like everything is falling apart there just because they're moving around. I'm sorry I can't offer anything other than sympathy though.

Just to clarify a bit, you are trying to contact the USCIS office not the Consulate. I note that the website was updated on 12 Nov, so maybe you should try again.
