[I have a question about when it comes time for the interview.]

We have just had our interview, 2016 not necessarily needed)

[Status change after interview(]

Hello everyone.

During my interview i forgot to submit one document, so a consular made me send it through CITIC bank with my passport as I am a foreigner who was applying for K1 in GUZ i had to go back home and needed my passport. So right now it's more than 2 weeks since they've gotten my passport with the required docs and still no visa issued.... But CEAC site keeps changing my visa status from READY to ADMINISTRATIVE P then ahain READY and again AD...

 

Did anyone have same experiences? Do you know how long it usually takes to get a visa in my case...

Thanks

[How long does it take to get passport back after interview]

We are going through the same thing right now. Both foreigners, I had my interview on the 22 of Feb and was able to get my passport back right after it. Then i returned it through CITIC bank, still havent gotten a visa....

I'm referring here to the interview in Guangzhou.

 

My wife (beneficiary) is non-Chinese, so she needs her passport to travel back from GZ to Beijing after the interview. So I'm wondering how long she'd have to plan on staying in GZ to get her passport back after the interview.

 

I read on this forum that apparently you can take your passport back after the interview and then once you travel back home (ie. Beijing), then mail it to GZ for final processing. Any idea how long that takes and if it delays things? I'm trying to figure out the whole timetable in advance due to various other factors.

 

Thank you.
