Thanks for the help! We filed 1-130 in Guangzhou, will apply for CR-1 visa.

Hey guys, I just don't know why I find this so confusing. We have completed the DS-260, sent photos, passport page, and confirmation to Guangzhou. Now on https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspxour status is "READY" as in ready to schedule the interview. Hooray, right? But the reason I am confused is because we have NOT submitted any of the financial or supporting documents. Aren't we supposed to email them to the NVC? No? We just bring them to the interview?

Thanks for the info! We got the CITIC on Yan'an Rd to do it...eventually...

Okay, I'm with you. Looks like I've received all the same info as you had, but now I'm confused. We completed the DS-260, and, as the instructions in the email stated, took photos, passport page, and DS-260 confirmation letter to CITIC bank to be sent to the consulate. But the bank was really confused and refused to send the materials. After some begging, they agreed to send it, but now I'm wondering if I messed up?! Also, we haven't paid any fees (like the affidavit of support fee etc.) because I haven't received an invoice, and I can't click anywhere to pay a fee. On the website under IV fee, it says "NOT APPLICABLE" -why? Can I chalk this up the website being wonky lately?
