Your visa has been approved. Have a good day!
The consul did not even look at our evidence of relationship. I schlep it all the way to Guangzhou and she was not even asking for it.
My visa was supposed to be released after 10 days and should be picked up by me at the CITIC bank. But since, I was not allowed to board on the plane by the Chinese security check without a passport on my way to Beijing. My fiance called the embassy and asked help from his senators and congressman to expedite my visa and it works! God is so good for His favor.
For those who are still waiting.. Good luck and pray! |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
