Hi, Everyone

My case was completed on the 4th this month......Yeah!

1.) Is there a way to know my case is out and on it's way to Embassy? ( the date case left NVC)

2.) how to know if Embassy got the case? (in my case, China. Guangzhou)

by e-mail or phone call, which is better?

Thanks

1) YES by calling NVC at 603-334-0700, also if the SHIPPED the case to China, and did not use the new electronic method of transfer, the case WILL get stuck in customs for up to 3 months.

2) Call DOS visa services at 202-663-1225

Hi, Yu and Dan

Thank you for your info, I just called NVC, was told that my case went to China the next day after it was completed. I also have ask if it was transfer by electronic method, the operator respond "yes, it is."

I "guess" ..... if my wife get lucky, we might receive PK4 in a month?

I will check out the website you recommand.....

Again, thank you.
