Scheduling Visa Interview, no dates or a calendar? Guangzhou

[Donutmoon 0]

It's morning now?! Oh lord, I've been up all night trying to figure this out.

So here's my dilemma... The whole K1 process has been going, until now, smoothly for my Chinese fiancee and I.

Our documents were electronically mailed from the NVC to the consulate at Guangzhou, China and we got our notification.

We then started completing and collecting necessary documents in preparation for the future interview as well as educate ourselves on the process a the consulate.

We submitted the DS-160 online before getting the P3. Then sometime later (Dec 19th) we got the P3! requesting that we send them back a copy of the personal information page of the passport, 2 inch square photographs, and the letter they sent to us back to them. No more, cause submitting any other documents to the Consulate at this time would be destroyed.

We got confirmation that they received them. Last week with no follow on instructions. We went to the CGI Stanley site and began filling out all the stuff and paid that 1 time fee.

On Dec 29th we got and email, the P4, from Chief immigrant visa unit:

"Dear Applicant, Petitioner, or Agent of record:

This office is ready to begin final processing of the immigrant visa applicant(s) named above in this case. Please follow these steps to schedule and prepare for your visa interview:"

We've done all of it already, besides scheduling appointment cause we can't, but when we go to the the page after the fee payment, receipt number is already there, all we get is:

"There are currently no appointments available."

I've been reading into this for hours and people have gotten the same message but they at least have a calendar, I don't.

Also when my fiancee was looking into it she noticed other applicants say they had a "DS-160 confirmation number" on their "update profile" tab in CGI Stanley appointment scheduling site. I don't see that for us either.

What should I do? Please help. Should I try to resubmit the DS-160?

This has always been a pain in the ###. I figured by now, over 2 years has passed since we had to go through this same nightmare, their system would actually be fixed and they would have some sort of "queue" system that would eliminate the mad dash to book appointments the SECOND they become available. Literally, they were booked solid for the next month within 5 minutes when we got lucky to be able to book ours. They become available around 1pm GUZ time if I remember right once a week. Have your lady check QQ for k-1 interview appointment dates groups that coordinate when they check and notify when times are availalbe. My wife was able to get an appointment only with the help of several QQ groups setup just for booking these dam appointments.

Here's some threads that I started/posted on that you'll want to check out for guidance:

Good luck! Scheduling this dam interview date was by far the most challenging and stressful part of the entire Immigration process. CGI/Stanley's system is absolutely dreadful. Even the RoC process so far hasn't been even remotely as bad as this was!
