I was just chatting with my wife in China on QQ & her father had the radio on. She said that the news said starting today if you apply for a visa you don't need to go to Guangzhou for the interview. All people that had filed before today still do need to go. China is +15 hrs so it's 2.14.2012 now. If it is true it's good news for new people just starting out. I just wish that it was for all visa's not approved yet, still sitting with my NOA1 from 8.9.2011 & waitting.

That's only applicable to non-immigrant visas (except K visas) AND only applicable to prior non-immigrant visa holders. Immigrant visa applicants will always require an interview at the IV unit in Guangzhou.

Sometimes my wife can not find the correct words to explane herself to me, she is still learning English. I hope I didn't misslead anyone!! I guess with us waitting so long to hear something about her visa, some kind of news about Visa's was good news even if it didn't affect us.

immigrant visa vs non-immigrant visa. Lets assume all here are chasing an immigrant visa, so this 'news' really should reduce the non-immigrant visa traffic at GUZ . One can hope.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

only ppl chasing after a non-immigrant visa. K-1 folks, alas, not fit this category - they still interview at the IV unit in GUZ (solely).

Those chasing after NIV visas (tourist, for example) already know about the other places to interview, homed to a particular Consular District in China.

I was thinking that it would help some people. I think the wife is ready for the interview if we could just get CSC going !!!

Nota Bene: CSC got going, and go-ed very well.

You using EP at NVC, nowish, or no?

Thanks for filling out yer timeline on the NVC bits, but are you an EP case, or no?
