On DHL go to track by shippers reference (it's under the first heading on the far left).

The first box put in EXP 05 AUG 2016A

(The EXP stays constant, change the date to be one day prior to your package leaving NVC, also the A stays constant)

Put in the appropriate date ranges

The next box you can leave blank (think it's account)

Select your country.

Now there's no way to tell exactly which of those is your package, but it gives you a good guess on transit times. We were lucky enough to be the only package that left that day going to Netherlands, so it was easy to tell it was us.

Let me know if this is too vague, I'm trying to recall from memory, and on my phone at the moment so I'm unable to give good step by step without having it in front of me!

 

Thank you so much for replying! :D Unfortunately, I didn't find my case. As a matter of fact I didn't find any case shipped to China in August at all, which is quite odd. Would appreciate it if anyone could shine some light on this. :)

A work permit is called an EAD. You can apply for an EAD as soon as you enter BUT it will only be good until the 90 days from your arrival and since it takes 60-90 days to get the card it is pointless

That dose not apply to k1 visas but to spousal visas your interview will be booked via your embassy not NVC.
