Packet 3 (GUZ)

[S&E 2]

Thank you so much for your support, if you ever come to LA, I'd like to treat you and your fiance for dinner!

Thanks for the offer Just trying to help a fellow petitioner through the process as I know how frustrating the waiting can be. I hope you will hear the good news soon.

Thank you!

My fiance go this reply from the Guangzhou Consulate:

"Thank you for the inquiry.

The National Visa Center has informed us that the case was shipped to the Consulate on October 7, 2011. We have not yet received the case file. Shipments of case files mailed from the NVC may take several months to arrive in China and clear Chinese customs. We will mail your beneficiary an instruction packet (Packet 3) after the physical file is received."

But I thought they sent it out 8/25, or at least that's what I was told for 3 weeks. And when I question the DOS today about the date, they said, on 8/25, they sent the file to the mailing room to be mail, on Oct 7th, that's when the file was physically "sent". If that's the case, I wouldn't expect my case to clear customer in just 1.5 weeks since it takes "several months" to arrive in China. I feel hopeless...

I'm really sorry about this news. There were complaints about NVC delay handling of cases from CSC in the past months (according to other members in the forum). Apparently many cases were approved quickly in CSC then got stuck in NVC. Looks like you were one of those cases. Hey, don't lose heart. At least they confirmed that your case is on the way to the consulate. If you haven't started already, you should take this time to prepare the documents required for P3 and P4 with your fiance, such as all the notary stuffs. It will help cut down the anxiety of waiting.

Just curious. What is your GUZ group? Your GUZ should start with 2011 then follow by the group number. For example, GUZ2011##..... Mine is 72.

Thanks for being so helpful along the way. We are starting to preparing for P3 and P4 stuff, hopefully it'll cut down not only anxiety but also the wait. My GUZ group is 2011734XXXXX, so i guess i'm the "73's".

I always blame myself now, "if I would've just knew..." then I would do it quickier at the beginning to avoid all these traffics...but i guess now the only thing i can do is WAIT... just like Cinderella, but i guess Cinderella had better luck than I did, at least she knew when she's going to go to the ballroom...

Don't blame yourself. Nobody can foresee the future. Looking back can only prevent you from focusing on the future. Just be patient and find some other things to occupy your mind for the meantime. You should still call them every few days to check on the status though. Good luck!

Thanks! We got P3 yesterday! Now we need to prepare for the interview. Just curious, when is your fiance's interview? When will we be able to know the interview date do you know?

[S&E 2]

Call DoS 15 days after you send back the P3 package to find out the interview date. Just find out mine is on 11/14.
