I don't see any reason why you would wait for a letter. Do you have a case ID, beginning with either GUZ or GZO? We have a case number beginning with GUZ. I was hoping we wouldn't need to wait for a letter either, but I'm just worried about our application being slowed down / rejected for not including a letter they sent. The more I think about it, though, it seems like they should be ok with a printed copy of the email.

Thanks for the quick response Randy! I had looked at those sites before, but I'm still confused. All of the required documents are completed and ready to submit to Guangzhou. The email from the consulate stated we needed to include "this letter" when we submit the documents. I don't know whether we can print out the email we received, or if I need to wait for a physical letter to arrive and use that. If it is the second option, I'm concerned that the letter may have gotten lost in the mail, as it shouldn't take a week and a half for it to get here. I've tried to find posts that mention whether Guangzhou sends a physical letter or just an email, but haven't been able to find anything.

Hey everyone! First post, but have been lurking for a while. This site has been a fantastic resource for my wife and I, and I'm hoping to get some help with a problem we've run into. Back in January, my wife and I filed a DCF for a CR-1 visa in Beijing. A week and a half ago, we received an email from the Guangzhou embassy informing us that our application for a CR-1 visa had been approved and had been passed on to Guangzhou for the next stage. In the email, it told us to fill out the DS-260, get photos, etc. The email also said the following: " Please follow the instructions to submit the items listed below along with this letter to the Consulate." So far, we haven't received a letter from the embassy. We're wondering if the instructions mean to print the email and submit it, or if we should wait for an actual letter from the embassy and submit that. It should only take 3-5 days for the letter to arrive by EMS (I'm assuming they would use EMS), but it's been about 10 days and still nothing. We've sent an email to the consulate, and haven't heard anything back. Any suggestions? Do we need to wait for a letter, or can we just print out the email?
