Another topic in section kind of covered this, but I am still unsure and would love input from anyone who has gone through the process or is going the process. 1. I filed my wife's I-130 form at the Guangzhou USCIS Dec. 20th, 2019, and then got an Approval Notice Jan. 21,2020. 2. The approval notice said that it would be forwarded to the consular section at the Department of State. I contacted them and they said they haven't received paperwork from the Guangzhou USCIS yet. I copy and pasted their response below "Dear petitioner, Thank you for your email. Please note that we have yet to receive your case file from the USCIS of Guangzhou. As of February 3, 2020, regular visa services at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and the U.S. Consulates General in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenyang are suspended. Due to the ongoing situation relating to the novel coronavirus, the U.S. Embassy and Consulates have very limited staffing. Intending applicants should note that on Sunday, February 2, a Presidential Proclamation was issued that suspended entry for individuals who have been in China less than 14 days prior to their arrival in the U.S. More information about the Proclamation can be found on our website here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/ea/Presidential-Proclamation-Coronavirus.html. Updates on the status of the proclamation will be posted on our website: https://china.usembassy-china.org.cn/. Once the proclamation is lifted, please contact us regarding your case via our webform: https://china.usembassy-china.org.cn/visas/immigrant-visas/contact-us/immigrant-visa-unit-question/. Sincerely, Immigrant Visa Unit U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou" 3. So am I screwed until the presidential proclamation is lifted? Does anyone think that is going to happen soon? It seems like the US is a shit show right now. The Guangzhou USCIS site says things are going to be processed by the DOS? I am quite confused and would appreciate any insight.
