Phone Call from Guangzhou Embassy?

[Rong and David 2]

A week and a half a go, my fiance received a phonecall from Guangzhou embassy, about a week after submitting Packet 3. The man was a bit tricky to start with, however, once having established a trust, the conversation almost went as though it was an interview by phone. Then the man called her mother and talked with her for a while. I haven't heard of this before, has anyone experienced this? What does this mean? My fiance was very excited to tell me about the conversation, she thought it went very well.

But, unfortunately still no Packet 4.

Does anyone have any ideas what that might have been about?

packet 4? did she pay at CITIC bank already, get the receipt #?

then try to schedule online at ustraveldocs.com/cn ?

Hi Darnell,

Yes everything is paid for. We are currently (still) in AP visa status updated last on Oct 23.

On the ustraveldocs site, we already paid weeks ago. She went to the bank and it shows paid. There is a page that is requiring Priority date. I don't think we have one, so leaving it blank doesn't allow us to proceed.

Thoughts?

They've been known to check up on a visa application that way - but only in VERY rare cases.

If your fiance thinks it went well, it probably did.

You can find your priority date on your first NOA, its the date of acceptance. I know our priority date is that date. You can also find this date on your P4 email once they send you the email with instructions on scheduling your interview.

This is correct. Date of NOA1 is your priority date.

I can plug the NOA1 date into ustraveldocs, shoule I wait till Packet 4 to continue in the website? NOA2 states that it is valid until 11/15/2013.. What does THAT mean? (NOA 2 was given 7/22).
