I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised at how quickly and efficiently the State Dept has dealt with our case. After our NOA2 arrived, we received the packet from the embassy in Guangzhou in just a couple of weeks. We followed the steps as outlined here on the website and now have our Interview date scheduled.
On the negative side, we feel like we have been 'ripped off' by the visa agency, UStraveldocs.com. After filing the DS-160 online form, we sent in the Confirmation Code to the embassy and they approved us to schedule an interview. In order to pay the fee, you must use a local bank and local currency. She followed the instructions on the UStraveldocs web site and paid for her visa but when it gave her a receipt, the amount was wrong. My fiancé is a very sharp lady so I believe her when she says she did it correctly. It looked pretty straight forward, cut and paste the number in the box. Anyway, UStraveldocs will not refund or transfer the money so it cost us $380. Still cheaper than hiring a lawyer but if I were to do it over again, I would go down to the bank in person and make the payment with a bank officer helping. That way you get a receipt and if there's a mistake, the bank is at fault and you stand a chance of getting your money back.
