Approximate date for NVC schedule for interview date

[wingz 0]

Sure, not a problem.

to http://track.dhl-usa.com/TrackByRef.asp?nav=TrackByRef and enter EXP 04 AUG 2011A as the reference number.

But tracking on the 4th isn't showing a shipment to Guangzhou, but I did find tracking 8788095282, which is a 2 piece shipment, 3 lbs. If its that small, expect it to clear quickly.

I know everyone here is saying 3 months or whatever, but if its in a small shipment, it should clear customs in a matter of days. I've tracked everything in the DHL system back to the first of May, and only one shipment has needed 3 months.

hey guys, i just found out that the tracking ref to GZ is EXP 04 AUG 2011B the "B" at the end indicate that the shipment is to GZ, through the nvc automatic msg, mine shipped on Aug 4, 2011.. i usually used EXP 04 AUG 2011A, nothing comes up, then i use EXP 04 AUG 2011B, it showed my shipment ship date on Aug 5, 2011, and delivered on 9/15/11, it's more accurate then using EXP 04 AUG 2011A. i hope my case is in that box.

and anyone knows how long it's gonna be after delivered?

Thanks.

NVC approved on 10/21 and it was sent out 10/26 and Guangzhou accepted it on 11/3 (CHINA TIME) I called DOS hotline today 11/03 (US TIME) and they said based on the database, Guangzhou already has my packet now, and now awaiting an interview date, so the DOS hotline told me to try calling in every week till the interview date is put in the system.

Back to Square 1 for me, NVC AVR agent gave me completed Oct 14th, and shipped Oct 20th. in addition to GUZ emailing me today that they have no physical file. and DoS telling me no interview date yet.

The frustrating part is finding my shipment, I tried so many references from even 13th of October to November 7th with even A or B, could not find anything for China, except for the 26th of October and November 1st,

but I sense there should have been more shipments to China that timeframe? the 10/26 and 11/01 packets are just 1 pound and 26th got to the consulate already, so I guess Ill just look at the Nov 1st one till it clears then maybe bother DoS again.

Sorry, Guangzhou didn't accept it - you might have been trying to track something with the DHL Tracking Trick - but for GUZ IV - it never, ever works.

[Loueikun 5]

Is there an average time reported for paper CR1 between the time ticks of Guangzhou actually opening case file/documenting it and scheduling interview?

[Loueikun 5]

Well someone earlier in this board said a week or 2. It has been a week so far since GUZ physically received the packet, I will keep hounding DOS next week.

[Darnell 8,479]

mostly it depends on when it's released from the chinese customs warehouse. typically this is from 2 to 5 months from the time it arrives.

as to 'average' - no, not really.

[Loueikun 5]

I am confused here, the ticker from DOS that GUZ now has the physical file would be after it came from the warehouse, or does the chinese customs warehouse input that data to DOS?

[Darnell 8,479]

'GUV IV opens the casefile'

'NVC Sends out the casefile'

China Customs office has no inputs here, sorry.

GUZ IV did open my case file on Dec 5th, now I wait for INterview date. GUZ IV just tells me interview will be scheduled in the next 2 months

[Darnell 8,479]

hey - that's great news [open the casefile]

DoS Hotline will know all, past this one timetick, albeit 24 hours off.

I'll guess she'll have an 'interview date set' within the next 3 weeks, and it'll be 5 weeks out from the 'setting' time tick.
