GUZ phone number????

Embassy? NVC?

What about the DoS Hotline ?

Casefile sending and opening is a mixmash -

IF the casefile went out SOLELY VIA SAFEFILE, with no DHL shipment, then it'll go fast, within a few weeks.

IF the casefile was sent out via DHL, expect 2 to 5 months before GUZ IV will open the casefile. There's some bonded China Government Warehouse Operation where Embassy Pouches for Immigration Visas are held/delayed. see http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/iv_faqs.html#B3

Maybe I said the wrong terms, embassy, nvc, consulate........Anyhow, I called the number you suggested today 202-663-1225. I then pressed 1 then pressed 0 and talked to a human. He was located in DC he said. He said the paperwork/file was sent to GUZ June 7th but they have not received yet. I should call back everyday and ask if GUZ received the paperwork/file and when the P3 was sent to my fiancée - correct? When GUZ tells us they sent to P3 to my fiancée we should mail in the ds230 and of169 immediately - correct?

Wow, is it currently taking 2-5 months for GUZ to receive the paperwork/file? Ugh!!!!!!!!

for now, call once a week - check status - you are looking for 'casefile opened'

then when it's 'casefile opened', call every day until you hear 'P3 sent'.
