Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China Review Topic: Other Experience Event Description Review Date : April 5, 2018 Embassy Review : Everything went fine with our interview and service experience but one part that totally sucked was that if you're a spouse or relative waiting for an interviewee then they literally make you get of the premises and wait so there was like a whole ton of people literally standing on the street corner at the intersection waiting for their people to come out. The security guards pretty much kick you off the property. The definitely need to do better than that. They need to have an area for people to wait. Rating : Good

*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
