ok la - day 1 past assigning of interview date - still no 'update' at the ustraveldocs site. I'm looking for the visual of an appointment date assigned.

It's no big deal, at the moment, but I'm hoping for 'data update' at that site, coming from NVC/DOS/GUZ sometime before the interview date.

I already made a visa packet delivery sheet, and it's in her hands.

Wow, congratulations on finally getting an interview date -- who would have expected it to take so long. Hopefully now it feels better at least being able to put something on the calendar... Looking forward to hear how things go with the new system

Ya, one of ours had an interview this Friday, can check the portal for the post and the link to the review.

That was the first IR-1 done at the new Consolidated Consulate Compound.

I attribute the lag to the move, really. But things did change for slotting circa 15 May 2013, IMO. It's been mondo slow since then, when before it was almost instantaneous..

Congrats!Your interview date is September 10th.It seems mine will be November?

[Darnell 8,478]

Hard to forecast, at the moment. However, if you sent off the IV set after paying on 17 Jul 2013, then is quite possible to get a case complete this week or next, then interview date set sometime in August or September for an October interview. Not November.

Can you be a little more specific about what one can do - after being assigned an interview date - to attempt to get an earlier interview date? It sounds like you called DoS and also sent a request via the Guangzhou contact portal. But your interview data is still September 10. So can we assume that getting an earlier interview date assigned is pretty difficult?

When you requested an earlier interview date, did you ask for a specific earlier date, or just ANY earlier date (or "the earliest date possible").?

Also, what is a "visa packet delivery sheet?"

[Darnell 8,478]

once an interview is assigned at NVC, wait 4 or 5 days, then email GUZ IV via their IV Email WebForm (let me know if you need the URL), and ask for an earlier interview date. If GUZ IV can accomodate you, they will. No calling of DoS to ask for earlier date. I called DoS during the day whilst waiting for the interview date to be set, because they are faster to answer the phone and I only sought 'set/not set' status on the interview date with them. at that stage, NVC and DoS share the same computer data. Later, DoS and GUZ IV share the same computer data, all being part of the Department of State/Consular Services/Immigrant Visa Section. I like calling DoS as opposed to NVC for that status, really.

re: visa packet delivery sheet - it's a coversheet that you can print out to PDF file, at the ustraveldocs.com website - your foreign spouse brings that in on interview day as part of the document handover process. When 'filling one out on the internet' - you or your spouse is choosing the closest CITIC bank location for delivery of the visa packet, done after interview day.

Darnell,

Did you said one day interview for Guangzhou only? I thought it will be two days to process CR-1 interview. For example, first day will be submitting documents and second day is for interview. My wife live in Shanghai her medical exam should it in Shanghai.

Thanks,

EW

No, that changed back again in March 2013. Consular Interview only one day now.

If you study the P4 - you can see it has a TIME on it. I think they not push some huge queue anymore.

two day process at Consulate no more.

[ewew5087 2]

Got it.

I received a checklist from NVC because one of the pages of my scanned I-864 somehow got garbled. So they requested that I resend the entire I-864. However, they also included instructions that said that for Electronic Procession, do NOT include the cover sheet. They said to just include the GZO number in the email title.

So now I'm confused: Should I include the cover sheet with the re-submitted I-864 or not?

Thanks!

for the coversheet, it's no harm to send it.
