CanadaJust recived an email from DHL that the passport is in transit YAY

Thank you, you should try to contact DOS and find out if your visa has been printed, Call 202-663-1225 and speak with a representative. If it has, then if I were you, I'd email Montreal and find out about the status of your passport! Good luck to you guys :thumbs:


Thank you very much! I will try tomorrow!

CanadaJust picked up my Passport with the VISA in it :)

Just thought I'd let you guys know about the good news :) ! Also, it was suppose to go to Markham location as I had picked that location on CSC website, but when I got a final email this morning, it stated that it's ready for pickup at their main facility located in Brampton. I thought it was a mistake, but then I decided to call before I headed out, and it was indeed at the wrong location. Anyway, instead of doing anything about it over the phone, I busted a U turn on my rental and went the other way :). So the moral of the story is that please don't assume that it'll be at the location you've specified (especially in the GTA as both locations are within 30 kms of each other), call in after you get the final email to verify before you go to pick it up! Thanks again you guys for your support and walking us through this process, couldn't have done it without the VJ family :)


I'm so happy for you! :thumbs: I sent email to Montreal,IV today and they replied to me "wait".

CanadaAre they trying to "weed us out?"
We are having the same problem. Have been trying for 5 weeks. A lot of time wasted when you do not know if and when appointment
slots will be opened.I have written the Ambassador, my Congressman, and the consulate. Have spoken with State Dept. They say they cannot interfere with the interview process. They all say keep trying.We try in the evening,morning,afternoon and late at nite with nothing available. I agree, why do they not assign an appointment when they issue the
Packet 4???????? I wish somebody could tell us when they post slots!!!! Good Luck to us all!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to start my son's K2 visa?

the list is correct.

the visa fee is paid at a CITIC bank in guangzhou - then the receipt is brought in to GUZ IV unit.


I'm very very appreciated!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to start my son's K2 visa?

eh - K2 FTJ cases are really strange in Guangzhou - you've made it doubly strange since you've got a MTL casefile #.

BUT - in essense - what ya do (really)
is

[now this is different from what I've told you so far, aye?]

Send in the Packet 3 documents on the child to GUZ IV.
Once they have it - they will get yer casefile out of SAFEFILE system, and then assign your son an interview date.

Study this a bit, as you need some forms:
GUZ IV forms http://guangzhou.use...and_packets.htm

When you send in the packet 3 checklist and DS-230 Part I - make sure you include a cover letter, written in English, reminding them to transfer your casefile, and include a copy of your NOA-2 and MTL casefile #.

Don't wait any longer to call NVC - GUZ IV won't begin doing anything without the packet 3 returned by your son.

Good Luck !


Thank you very much!My son is going to send packet 3 to US Embassy in Guangzhou.
The check list: 1, Cover letter
2, Form DS-230 Part I
3, Form 169
4, A cope of the bio page of his passport
5, EMS mailing address label
6, I-797, NOA-2 (EAC Number)
7, Copies of My K1 Visa and I-94 (Visa case number in Montreal Canada + A# Number)
8, A Cope of my Certificate of Marriage)
Is that right? Darnell,Please check for me.Thank you!!!
Could my son pay $350.00 when he goes to for interview?

All the best!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to start my son's K2 visa?

sorry, email is the way.

however.
most email replies are by PRC local employees, not USCitizens - they probably are much confused.

When you email in again -
ASK FOR Consular Review of your email, by a Visa Officer.

ALSO - NVC can also request a casefile transfer - in essence, this is what you need -
talk to a Supervisor at NVC, ask them to initiate a SAFEFILE COPY REQUEST on yer casefile,
FROM MTL to GUZ IV.


Hi,Darnell:

Thank you your reply quickly!

My questions are: 1, Do I have other way to contact US Embassy in Guangzhou China except Email?
2, What should I do?

Any answers will be appreciated! :help:
