I've also written my representative and both of my senators. Feel free to plagiarize. (Now updated so you can copy the full links directly) Hello, In MONTH YEAR I applied for a K1 fiancee immigration visa for my fiancee, who is currently waiting in CITY, P.R.C. to rejoin me here in CITY, STATE. At the current processing pace I don't expect her to arrive safely in my arms until MONTH or MONTH YEAR. At present, my petition is approved and has been forwarded by the National Visa Center (aka NVC) in New Hampshire to the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China (aka GUZ). NVC sends the documents to the GUZ Consulate via DHL international airmail. It is possible to track shipments going from the NVC to all of the US consulates around the world via the DHL tracking website. According to the DHL tracking system, it seems that GUZ is the *only* consulate with a two to three month delay in receiving and processing the applications from NVC; most other consulates take a week at most. Listed below are four DHL tracking links for packages sent during early to late September from NVC to GUZ. The first link is a very small package that slipped right through to GUZ, while three heavier packages (typically containing visa applications) are still waiting to be delivered, up to two months, after being shipped. http://www.dhl.com/publish/g0/en/eshipping/track.low.html?pageToInclude=RESULTS&type=fasttrack&AWB=9189308284&submit=Track

Why are these heavier application packages being selectively held up? I would like an official inquiry to find out what is causing the delays. An online comment by a GUZ consulate employee at the first link below insists that the holdup is due to a Chinese Customs issue. I don't believe this; I've shipped HOWMANY packages to China myself, and received HOWMANY packages of various size and content over the past HOWMANY years. In none of these cases did Chinese customs take longer than a few days to release the packages. The second link below demonstrates that this has been a chronic issue for the GUZ consulate. Please help me find out the cause of these unreasonable delays in my fiancee's visa process, so that they can begin to be addressed. http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=14580&st=0&p=175740entry175740
