Well, I called DOS yesterday, still the same: "GUZ has not received your physical file yet," so I asked, "But my case was sent by NVC back in the beginning of September, how could it be possible that after more than 4 months, and it is still not there yet?" "Sorry sir, this is normal process time..." I also sent email to GUZ a couple weeks ago, no response yet... Now with the CNY coming up, I really don't know how much longer I have to wait on this...

The average time for P3 (K1) is about 2 to 3 months. I'm doing IR5 for my parents, it's similar to IR1, my case was sent by NVC back in Sep 08', still waiting on the P4, so 4 months and nothing yet.... All we can do is be patient and wait longer. Who knows maybe tomorrow your P3 and my P4 will pop up at their doors.

Thanks everyone for all the great information here. I will keep trying...

I called DOS again this morning, the nice lady on the phone told me the status of my case is "Administrative process", then I asked her if the paper file has arrived or not, she sounds very confused "Yes, ummm, No, it has not..."

It seems that people at DOS can really say whatever they want to say. Even from "Eligible for Interview" back to "Waiting on Physical files", lol... However, my IR5 case will reach 120 days (from NVC out) after this weekend, and I already contacted GUZ by Email couple days ago, I'll see what they gonna say this time... Probably, pointing finger at the Chinese Custom again... Who knows...

Thank you everyone for the great information. I'm just kinda worried about it, because they told me "it's eligible for interview, but no date yet." and I thought it's getting close, and then they went back to the "waiting for the physical file" era.... I guess it's like everyone said, it's very difficult to predict what's going on at GUZ, and DOS does not really have all the correct information

Hi everyone, first I would like to say thank you to all the people on this forum, I have learned lots of important stuff from the posts here. Well, here is my situation, I filed IR5 in March 2008, Case Completed at the NVC at the beginning of September 2008. I kept calling DOS for current status for the last 4 months. The week before Chritmas, I have been told that "The case is eligible for interview, but there is no date assigned yet." Then, the same status was told for the past couple weeks, and once a lady told me "They have done everything they need to do at GUZ, now just wait for a Interview Date." However, beginning with this week, the funny thing starts, Every time I called DOS, the representative kept telling me that "Case is loaded, but GUZ is still waiting for the physical file to arrive.¡°£¿£¿£¿£¿ Anyone has similar experience could tell me what is going on here??
