Final Processing/Call-in Letter

[harry1 0]

My wife and her son had their interview on 8/10-11 and were told to bring the original I-864 of joint sponsor's. (The signature on the form is electronic, my sponsor had just mailed out a new one with his signature on it to my wife) She was given a Final Processing/Call-in Letter (a piece of white paper), which states: please make sure to bring this notice and attached appointment letter together with the passports for all immigrant visa applicants.

But she was only given this notice letter, but not an appointment letter.

1, She'd like to know if this appointment letter is the original one for 8/10-11 interview or a new one, which was neglected by the VO? Will she be able to walk in on a Monday or wednesday to turn in the document without the "new" appointment letter? After she came out, she realized that she didn't have this "new" appointment letter, so she tried to go back to ask, but one Chinese guard refused to let her in, even she explained that she just came out a few minutes ago. Sigh...She feels like the guard is like a dog...a bad kind...a countryman letting her down...

2, When she comes back again (as instructed on a Mond. or Wed., will she just turn in the document at 12:30pm and leave, or she needs to come in again next day as the original interview?

3, On the Final Processing/Call-in Letter, the paragraph "Your immigrant (or K) visa application has been approved..." was checked, we assume that hers and her son's visa applications have been approved pending receipt of the original I-864. If this is the case, when will the visa be mailed after she turns in the original I-864, in days or weeks/months?

Is our understanding correct? Anybody has similar experience?

Thanks

I might ask your question using this form: http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/immigrant-visa-unit-question.html

However,

1. I think typically they are referring to the orginal appointment letter. If you don't have a copy of the letter, I believe others have successfully entered the consulate with just the call-back form.

2. I think you will only have to turn in these documents.

3. It can take 2 days to 14 days+ to receive the visa. You likely should be able to have the visa mailed to anywhere in China. http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/china-post-delivery-of-approved-immigrant-visas-now-available-to-applicants-throughout-china.html

I did ask questions on their web site and waiting for the answer. I do think guys here often have better ideas than the answers from the Consulate. Thank for sharing.

Email from the Consulate:

Please be advised that if the interviewing officer did not return the original appointment letter to your beneficiaries, the letter may probably be in their files, and she does not need to submit the appointment letter when she comes back to the Consulate to submit their passports and the required document(s). Your beneficiary can come any Monday through Wednesday(except Chinese and American holidays) from 12:30 pm-2:30 pm with the call-in letter.

If your beneficiary choose to have their visa packets delivered to their home, she can just go back home after submitting their passports with the required documents and the COD EMS waybill. Normally speaking, visa packets will be passed to the China post 2-3 days later, and will be ready to be delivered to the applicants. If your beneficiary would like to pick up the visa packets by herself, she will need to make necessary arrangements with the China Post. Detailed instructions will be given to her when she comes to submit passports and required documents.

On the Final Processing/Call-in Letter are there any other boxes that they could check denying the visa or is this letter for approvals only? We got notification that this letter is being sent to us and have no idea what this means.
