After almost 4 months of waiting after NOA2(August 27), we received case number from NVC today. The only good thing is we have all documents ready for the interview, aside from medical check. That was what we kept doing during this lengthy time.

Could VJ'ers please list the needed documents we need for the Interview, so we could crosscheck and be sure before going there? More so what are the forms to be filled online? We used a lawyer(which has really caused us a lot), so the attorney has already done with most of the forms, but we don't want to contact him again, because he wasn't helpful to us at all after our petition was approved. No wonder our petition stayed at USCIS for 14 weeks before going to NVC.

PLEASE LIST ALL ITEMS NEEDED FOR THE INTERVIEW FOR US, THANK YOU FOR HAVING TIME TO READ THIS......

~Removed duplicate thread posting, please refrain from posting same topic in multiple forums.~

You are welcome.

There are several folks that are knowledgeable about the current Guangzhou consulate process that will likely respond. Review some of the prior postings to get some ideas about the GUZ interview process. The pinned thread at the top of the forum page is a great source for info on the terms, etc.

The consulate location and visa process has changed since we had our interview in 2012.

Here is a link to the GUZ consulate webpage:

Good luck on your immigration journey.

You will recieve Packet 3 first, which comes in the mail to the beneficary_ It'll contain a letter saying that your case has been approve and ready to continue on to the next steps, a copy of the I-129F Form with approval stamp, instruction sheet requesting what you need to do.

Write your GUZ Case number on the Instruction sheet on the line provided(you will need to retain a copy for your records and send a copy back to the Consulate)

The instruction will request you to include 2 2x2inch passport style photos, a copy of the beneficary's passport information page, it might request for a copy of the DS-160 confirmation page but to some it has requested PART 1 of the DS230 Form(Send in whatever form it requests for)

After that, wait for Packet 4 (Which is an email sent to the beneficary and you)

I quoted a post I posted a while back to another thread:

Start preparing for the P3, Get 2x2inch passport style photos made_ you will have to submit 2 pictures(I recommend to make at least 10 pictures because at the Medical exam, your require to submit like 5-6 photos and than you have to submit 2 more photos during the visa interview), A copy of your fiance(e) Passport information page(Copy it in color and make sure to sign the bottom of the paper and date it) For some people it has asked to submit Form DS230 Part 1 only, for others it asks to submit DS160 Online Form and then send a copy of the confirmation page from the DS160 once you have submitted it online. I suggest you fill out DS230 part one now, so you have it filled and also go online to fill out the DS160 Online Form : https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/default.aspx

Everything moves really fast from here on out so prepare for the P4 too, you need to go and get your Notarized Documents made, (Police Certificate, Certificate of Marriageability(Stating that fiance(e) is single and able to marry), Birth Certificate, any other required notarized documents) Make sure everything in Chinese is translated to English and notarized! This process took my fiancee about 2 weeks to get because the notarized office took their time to translate all the Chinese documents to English than Notarized the Chinese documents and English translated documents.

You must fill out DS260 because it is now required for K visas in China (contact NVC and request them to give you your case number and case invoice ID number) You can fill this form out here : https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

Follow instructions here too:

http://ustraveldocs.com/cn/K1%20Instruction%20DS160-2.pdf
(a side note: this instruction packet here will be needed during the medical exam, they will request to see this instruction packet along with the P4 email letter)

Start preparing for the P4, once you get the P4, you can go ahead and schedule an interview. It takes a while to get ready for the interview, so best prepare now.
