Congrats and best the luck to both of you!

cool...I was wondering how your case went... Congrats and best luck to you and your family as well! Have a safe trip home.

congrats!!!

Thanks you guys for your kindness. I'm getting her AOS paperwork ready. The thing about vaccination supplement...I think it has been reported numerous times here at CFL...I called several civil surgeons and wasted a lot of time trying to explain to them my fiancee did the medical exam and vaccination in Guangzhou already and all we needed was this 693A form. They all insisted on doing the full exam and whatnot. In the end I found someone who can review her vaccination record from China and do the supplement form for $15.

3 business days and the post office where you can pick up is only a few blocks away from the consulate. In our case, the visa was approved Monday morning, issued on Thursday, delivered to the Junyuan Post Office that night, and was picked up the next morning.

still trying to get her settled down with the new ... I flew in Guangzhou on Sunday Aug 15th and went to the interview with her the next morning. Even though she was among the first few in line entering the consulate, she waited almost till noon to get her name called. The interview took only a few minutes. She got pink! We waited around in GUZ and picked up the visa package at the nearby post office on Friday Aug 20th, and flew back on 21st. From the NOA1 receipt date (April 8th) to K-1 issuance date (Aug 19), it took barely over 4 months, way quicker than I originally anticipated. I want to Thank you ALL so much for the help during the last couple of months! Your answers and suggestions to my questions were so invaluable and made the whole process lot easier for me. Now the AOS...I'm sure I'll post questions pretty soon!

Thank you everyone for your replies. I hope I wouldn't need to harass them. Two more days...to GUZ

I have contacted one of the senators office and asked if they can provide any support for my fiancee's K-1 visa case, and was told all they can do is to contact GUZ to make sure they process the case fair and just. Now I'm really hesitating if I should bring them in this late of stage. I'm leaving for Guangzhou this Saturday and will be there with my girl when she goes to her interview Monday morning. I already gave the senator's office my consent to contact GUZ but told them to stand by unless I need their assistance if anything goes wrong at the interview on the day of 8/16. I'm now wondering if I should just ask the office to email them now and inquire about the case, or should I wait? Any body out there has done this before? It's not like I have something to hide but after reading all those "horror" stories from GUZ, I am really at a loss and don't know what I should do exactly.

Depends on which local post office I guess. My fiancee didn't get a call for P3. I don't think GUZ remembered to write down her number on the label so EMS wouldn't know which number to call anyway but they left a notice in her mail box. They did call her for P4 because she weren't there at the time, and came back and delivered it on the second attempt.

Give Eva Air a try...might save you a few hundred bucks.

I think NVC sent out ours to GUZ electronically around June 23rd.

my fiancee got her P4 today. It was using the same EMS label that she had put within her P3 reply. What made me worried was DOS informed me the Consulate sent out P4 on 7/20 but according to EMS, the package didn't get to Guangzhou's local post office ¹ãÖÝÊÐÓÊÕþ¾ÖÎ÷µÌÖ§¾Ö until 7/24. Anyways, it was delivered to her the day after.

looks like I'm not going to make to ACH before my fiancee's interview as her date has been scheduled for Aug 16th, Monday morning. Even though DOS told me P4 was sent out on 20th, it hasn't shown up in EMS's tracking system yet. Do they by any chance send the packet with regular mail or a different EMS label, instead of using the one that was returned with the P3?

I have been reading up our sister site 001 bbs.net quite a bit lately. Sounds like August interview dates are starting to come out this week but so far just for the ones who sent back P3 to GUZ in first week of June. Several posts also indicates GUZ schedules interviews in monthly batches, e.g. if you send back P3 in July (day of receipt acknowledged by GUZ, not the delivery date claimed by EMS), they will wait until August to process your case, and schedule your interview in September. Is this another "misinformation"?
