GOGO,

 

If the case cannot be found in the DHL system, does it mean this case is closed? or at least the interview date has been scheduled?

ChinaAsking for after interview - urgent please

Darnell, thanks a lot for your information.

 

I came back to US last night and checked the status and found the visa was issue on March 10.  I have to travel back again to bring my son to US.

ChinaAsking for after interview - urgent please

Hi,

 

I went to the interview with my son on Feb. 18 and got the final processing letter (white one) and was asked to submit the notarized copies of his father's passport with my son's passport and visa pictures. I dropped all the docs at Citic on Feb. 24, and the status has been updated on Feb. 26.

 

After about ten days waiting, I checked the status on CEAC today and the status is changed into "Ready" as follows:

 

 

Case Creation Date: 01-Aug-2013 Status Updated Date: 08-Mar-2014    

Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at: http://travel.state..../info_3731.html

 

Does it mean we need to interview again? If the interview is required, are we going to have to wait for our passport back?

 

Any suggestion will be really appreciated.

 

thanks

ChinaPassport Tracking after approval

I called the branch last night (in the morning China time) and they don't have my passport yet. Also I called the Citic Bank in Guangzhou and was told the passport has shipped to Changsha on Mar. 12 and should be Changsha now. However, I don't know where it is and will call again tonight.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)how much time did nvc take to transit case

Physical documents.

 

Did you get the interview date? Could you please show with me the timeline for your application? Thanks

National Visa Center (Dept of State)how much time did nvc take to transit case

My case took 8 days to get from NVC to the Consulate in China. It took the consulate 5 days to send forms to my fiancee.

 

Are you using electronic processing or physical documents?

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Case Complete on Sep. 20th, but still in NVC

I just called NVC a moment ago and was told my case is still in NVC and will send to Guangzhou next week.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Any one has case completed recently at NVC? (I-824 Case)

I've no idea.

 

However, there are other paper-case filers (IR-5, CR-1, IR-1) with casefiles headed to Guangzhou this year,

who have had the exact same problem as you , "How will the beneficiary be notified"..

 

IIRC, a piece of postal mail was sent out to the beneficiary.

OR

the beneficiary was allowed to self-schedule at the ustraveldocs.com website after the IV Unit 1] received the casefile and 2] opened the casefile .

 

You've some time, 2 to 3 months, before the casefile hits GUZ IV, so you should hunt down these members in the China portal timeline thingie.

 

Also, a question - was a GUZ IV P3 Supplemental form submitted with the DS-230 into NVC? If yes, then the IV Unit will have the Beneficiary's address in chinese characters. 

 

Yes, my lawyer submit the DS-230 into NVC, but the form is filled in English except for name. Also, do you know what is the DOS hotline No? Thanks

Guangzhou will (somehow) send out the packet 4 (interview letter with instructions) to the beneficiary.

 

Alternatively, you can call DoS Hotline, learn of the appointment date via telephone.

 

 

 

Should we get any email notice for interview information? I don't think I have the address in Chinese on the form. If I didn't get the P4 in mail, is it possible to get it in email?

 

Thanks

At this stage, is best to call into NVC and ask for a supervisor. 

 

Yup, use a telephone. 

 

 

 

Darnell,

 

Do you know if Guangzhou consulate will send any documents or contact directly with the beneficiary in China? or they are just sending email to me or my attorney for interview?

 

Thanks
