Hi everyone, newbie here! 

My fiance and I just got engaged and filed for the K1 visa - so exciting!

 

I am a citizen of Hong Kong working in Shanghai, so we just put Shanghai as the embassy of choice. But now I am reading that Guangzhou is the only embassy that issues K1 visa? I am panicking now (esp when i read about to the possible delay in receiving the packages because of Chinese custom here) and wonder if we have chosen the wrong place to apply for the visa. 

 

I travel to Hong Kong for work often and have addresses in both cities - is it possible/do you guys advise us to call and try to switch it to Hong Kong?

 

Thank you so much - this is an incredibly stressful process, I am grateful forums like this to get us all moving and staying positive!

All K type visas are handled in Guangzhou unfortunately so there is no getting around that. My wife and I completed everything last spring and she lived in Shenyang so I completely understand about it being out of the way!!

Try not to be too stressed about all of this. The stress will not help you in any way. Good luck!
