ChinaPacket 3 to Packet 4 timeframe

It asked for the DS160, passport page, and 2 photos.  No DS230 was mentioned.

The P4 email finally came.  I sent in a last hail mary email on their website basically begging for a response, and today the P4 email came.  I am inclined to think that our application fell on the floor behind someones desk, and that my email finally made them look for it.....or it could a be coincidence.  Either way, we are no longer blocked.

We did self schedule, not sure if that was correct or not, but her physical exam required more tests, so we did not go to the interview. I sent in an email on their website about that, and also did not get a response on that one.  If we schedule again after she gets the test results and go without ever having a p4 email, what happens?

So...6 weeks now since we returned the packet 3 materials, about 4 weeks since we paid the fee, and still not a peep from the consulate.  The emails I have sent in via the web form have not been returned and there is no phone number anywhere that I can find that has anyone at the other end.  Is there any way to figure out what in the hell is going on there and make things happen?

One other question, Do they do the fingerprints on the day of the interview, or is that a separate step?

Ok, it will be done today. The information they send out, and put on ustraveldocs makes it seem like you can't do this until they send the packet 4 email.

So, is not having set up the profile and not paying the fee yet what is keeping us from getting the packet 4 email, or is this just something that is good to do in the middle time?

Thanks for the reply. So, how do we do the medical without the packet 4 email? I thought we had to have the email to do the things you mentioned.

How long has it been taking to recieve the packet 4 email after returning the packet 3 documents? We are going on 3 weeks now without an email. Looking at others timelines, it seems like most people are hearing back in half this time. I also emailed the consulate using the form, and have not heard back. yet.

ChinaPassport Tracking after approval

Did your wifes/fiancee's need any documentation to pick up their visa packets from the CITIC bank?

Thanks for the input. I have been stressing about this quite a bit.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRecent pay raise and I134

Interview time is getting close and I am working on the I-134.  Working off of my 2012 W2 I am a little short on income with my large family, however in mid 2012 I received a large pay raise which puts me over the income requirement. I have no 1040 for 2013 reflecting the higher pay rate yet, but I do have pay stubs, the letter from the bank, and the letter from my employer stating my current income.  Will I have a problem with this?  Would I be better off having my fiance postpone the interview into mid January so I can have a more representative W2 and 1040?
