P3 is usually sent out in about 3 months after your approval, you can find the forms from the consulate website, for P3 only 2 forms are needed DS-230Part I and OF-169 + self address EMS label. You can call DOS in about 3 months to check if they sent out P3 yet...

That answer is NOA2 to P3. The OP is asking about P3 return to P4 received. Look here.

Hello great people! I was just curious on how long between P3 to P4 we have to finish the required documentation for the interview. I have read from most that there is at least a month in between. Thanks!

gamal - from my experience which is still ongoing i have waited for 23 days now - i mailed p-3 in on 14 april 2009 - i went k-1 - i called guangzhou on 4 may 2009 and they received my p-3 but have yet to finish background check because my fiance is from tibet :dance:

My fiancee received her P3 on April 16, mailed it back to GUZ on April 17. On May 5, GUZ assigned her an interview date of June 2 (I found out by calling DOS) and suppossedly mailed her P4 to her on May 5 as well. So it took a little less than 3 weeks to have her interview scheduled after she mailed back her P3.

P-3 to interview can be anywhere from 6 weeks on the very fast side, to 10 on the slow side. Usually, it is about 8 weeks. 4 weeks from P-3 returned to P-4 sent, and 4 weeks to interview. I guess it is determined by the volume of interviews, and the timing of the processing, (which part of the month your P-3 is received). You can get a few days jump on the interview, by calling DOS, twice daily, starting 3 weeks after you return your P-3. Good Luck, Mike & Yizhen

GUZ and China Customs seem to have a low work load!! :rofl:

I was thinking to use the 129f to get a sooner interview date, but that now looks moot
