Hello,

I hope someone who had previous VISA experience at Guangzhou Consulate could help me with some information. Thanks a lot.

My fiancee already sent back the finished P3 forms to Guangzhou consulate 8 days ago, and till now no P4 is received. Based on the VISA timeline table on VJ, I think it generally takes about 5~6 days for the beneficial to receive the P4 after sending out P3.

I emailed the consulate and got the reply from them that my fiancee's form was received and under processing. And they will send out information regarding interview and instruction when ready.

Does this seem to be normal processing time? :unsure:

Thanks for anyone who could share your valuable info!

:thumbs:

Hi there,

My fiancé had her interview on May 9th and we are on additional "administrative processing" and waiting three months after. It took us about to weeks to receive notice after sending P3. Based on our experience I would take timelines with "a grain of salt". This process is definitely not a one size fits all. I fully understand the gut wrenching feeling of waiting. My advice is not to worry, be patient and try to relax. Hard to do but I found the hard way that living with the anguish of waiting it is not helpful and only creates a lot of stress. Furthermore, you're at somewhat the beginning of a long process, so there is more to come.

My best wishes to you.

Keep Calling DoS Hotline (# in my profile, left panel) every two days

till you hear of 'interview date set' when asking for casefile status.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
