Hello, I submitted the DS-260 online and get the confirmation code. Then I registered myself on the cgi website for contact info and pick up location stuff. I applied the tourist's visa before so I updated some of the info. After filled everything I got the confirmation letter but it's still the ds-160 confirmation no. I think that's my tourist's visa confirmation no. for the interview last time. Should it be the ds-260 confirmation no. cuz I submitted the ds-260 form? I have no idea how to update that one or it doesn't matter? The site says you won't get a interview appointment notice if the confirmation no. is not the same. Anyone knows this issue? How can I solve this problem. Thanks in advance!! Jeff

Hello everyone, We applied for our DCF about a month ago, and we received the news of filling out the DS260 and passport copy, photos, etc yesterday night. We received unfortunate news of my mothers passing and rushed here (Texas) from China to attend my mothers funeral, and we will not be able to return to China until July due to I have business here. Will someone be able to turn in these documents through CITIC Bank on behalf of us in China? They have all of the documents already. Please advise Nathan

IV document submission is covered here - Submitting Additional Documents rjw NOTE - If you have used USTravelDocs for a previous visa application, you may need help registering the new confirmation code. See CGI old confirmation code problem CGI Cover Page for submitting Documents through CITIC Bank For NIV non-immigrant visas (NOT K-visas) http://ustraveldocs.com/cn/20150313%20-%20NIV%20-%20Requested%20Documentation%20Submission_EN.pdf For IV immigrant visas - K-1,2,3,4, IR-1,2,3,4,5, CR-1,2,3,4 Case Number is your GZO or GUZ number. http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/20140328%20IV%20Documentation%20Submission%20Letter.pdf Register or log in here to get UID Number: http://ustraveldocs.com/cn/index.html?firstTime=No and/or https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=China The "New Application" screen looks like this. You will need to enter your information here, including the Case ID before you can continue. Cover page that must accompany the above originals, and your documents, letters, etc. to CITIC Bank, who forwards to Guangzhou Consulate. Link to submitting additional Info thru CITIC, find your nearest CITIC Bank, & download the above CGI cover sheet: http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-iv-documentsubmissioninfo.asp We discovered that not every CITIC Bank, within your city, is available on the CGI Stanley register and select bank location page, where you select your passport/visa pickup CITIC Bank, location. In fact the one for Changzhou is not even the main Changzhou bank. We were directed from our chosen pickup bank to the main bank not far away to ship our additional documents. Also the bank wanted a 2nd copy of the above CGI cover page, one for inside the unsealed envelope and another they affix on the outside of the envelope. So after you fill the cover sheet out make & take an extra copy. Here is full list of banks, you can click on various tabs to get them all: http://bank.ecitic.com/personal/cgjr/chuguo_1_7.shtml This link, to track your status is rather cool: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx I am encouraged that it was updated 11-26-2014, today, as I edit this post. Here is a passport tracker: http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-niv-passporttrack.asp I had a lot of trouble with error messages trying to email the attachments for the above CCP overcome. So the day I emailed the CCP overcome stuff, I wrote an inquiry to Guangzhou Consulate asking if they got the 2 attached PDF files: http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/immigrant-visa-unit-question.html I got an email last night 11-25, saying they got them. Boy Guangzhou works much more smooth than ANYTHING on the USA side, like NVC or USCIS. If I had to do all this over again I would have lived in China and started this immigration stuff. Your Sweetie will come out of this door. Go to the right for other visas & etc. Randy W pics are here: http://candleforlove.com/forums/topic/47488-some-pictures-of-the-new-consulate/ We did not send in another white book of her birth. It was not requested by the interviewer or on any of the 3 papers he handed her. (Those CGI guys are another story I have been on the phone with them 2-3 times and sent them 4 messages about trouble with their website, all of which they don't want to believe. Now they want screen shots, so more work to try to help them and users. To be political, where is Halliburton when you need them, at least they know how to get a job done.) Here is the link to register with CGI Stanley. The first issue is that I have nothing but trouble trying to log in. The "captcha" box with the code to write in to show your a real person seldom appears. It took me 2 hours to log in the other day.http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-loc-bank.asp Tonight is a rock concert here in Changzhou, and we live one block from the huge sports complex it is held in. These folks really do fill the stadiums like shown on TV. In fact I am told it was on TV live. All the horns honking now as they leave. My wife is getting frisky, so I need to go now. :) So after all this you may need to update or do things here: http://ustraveldocs....ml?firstTime=No and/or https://cgifederal.s...h&country=China To check on Additional or Administrative Processing of application: https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/
