Filing form 130 again. Did it in 2018 or so, mailed in a giant packet of printed forms and evidence. This time, I noticed that the webpages directed me to file via the USCIS online system. I also read this from the US embassies website in China (link: https://china.usembassy-china.org.cn/petition-alien-relative-form-1302/ ) So I take it the processing has being re-routed somewhere else? Hence, how I ended up filling out the forms online? Apologies I don't have any links to share to show that, but I remember feeling as if all of the directions were encouraging me to do the online form instead of the mail in. The reason I'm asking is: I remember there being a clear time benefit with the DCF process. I recall waiting 3-6 months the first time, whereas with this filing, my wait time is 10 months. Is the time benefit we once enjoyed by filing DCF to Guangzhou no longer a thing, since the processing is now routed to the State Department? AUGUST 7, 2021 As of February 1, 2020, the processing of form I-130 at US Consulate Guangzhou has been transferred to the Department of State. Please contact the Immigrant Visa section if you are eligible to file a I-130 petition at the US Consulate Guangzhou based on “exceptional circumstances”. For all other I-130 petitions that do not meet the “exceptional circumstances” standard, please consult https://www.uscis.gov/i-130 for instructions on how to “File Online” or the location of where you can mail your completed petition."

Note that this thread is dated 2017, except for the Most Recent Posts Hello all I filed IR1 DCF for my husband on March 23rd. Turned in the DS260 the following week, and got an email last week that we could schedule the interview. The whole thing happened extremely fast, much faster than either of us were expecting! We scheduled his interview for May 25th, which makes the process for the whole thing just a bit over 3 months. My main question is regarding the trip to Guangzhou and the interview process. I keep seeing references on this site to "document intake date" etc., but am I correct in surmising that this was the old process, and now we do not need to schedule a separate appointment for document intake, that it will happen before his interview? How about paying the fees that need to be paid before the interview? Are those also paid just before the interview itself? He will go to Guangzhou and do his medical exam this week, which should give him enough time to get the results in time for the interview. Presuming the interview goes well and they ask for his passport, any idea currently how long it will take before he has a visa in his passport? I'm sure this has been asked loads of times already, so apologies in advance if I'm being redundant, and thanks for any clarity you all can provide! -
Hello everyone, Does anybody know what is going on with DCF after 2/1/2020? The following was on 1/31/2020 received From: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services <uscis@public.govdelivery.com> recently with the Subject: USCIS Updates Process for Accepting Petitions for Relatives Abroad. Thanks. WASHINGTON — U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced that, as part of the adjustment of its international footprint to increase efficiencies, Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, will only be processed domestically by USCIS or internationally by the Department of State in certain circumstances beginning Feb 1, 2020. DOS will assume responsibility for certain services previously provided at USCIS international offices, services that DOS already provide in countries where USCIS does not have a presence. Eligible active-duty service members assigned overseas will file their Form I-130 locally with DOS, as will certain non-military petitioners who meet specific criteria for consular processing. “USCIS continues to modernize and become more efficient as an agency,” said USCIS Deputy Director Mark Koumans. “Since the Department of State has a much larger international presence, we have delegated authority to our State partners to accept and adjudicate petitions for immediate relatives abroad in certain circumstances. USCIS continues to expand online filing options, which are available to those filing domestically or those filing from abroad, saving applicants and petitioners time and money.” Generally, DOS will process Form I-130 locally if the petition falls under blanket authorization criteria, as defined by USCIS: Temporary blanket authorizations for instances of prolonged or severe civil strife or a natural disaster; or Blanket authorization for U.S. service members assigned to military bases abroad. In addition to these blanket authorizations, DOS maintains the discretion to accept Form I-130 if a U.S. citizen petitioner meets the “exceptional circumstance” criteria as outlined in the Policy Manual update. All other petitioners residing overseas must file Form I-130 online or by mail through the USCIS Dallas Lockbox facility for domestic processing. For more information on USCIS and its programs, please visit uscis.gov or follow us on Twitter (@uscis), Instagram (/uscis), YouTube (/uscis), Facebook (/uscis), and LinkedIn (/uscis). Please do not reply to this message. See our Contact Us page for phone numbers and e-mail addresses. -
Hello everyone, I have a couple questions about the green card process with many more to come in the future, I’m sure. First, I’ll tell you a bit about our situation. My wife and I have been married for 4 and a half years. She is Chinese and has a 10 year – 180 day - B1/B2 US Visa. I am American, and we have a 10 month old American daughter who was born here in Shanghai. We’ve been living together in Shanghai for the last couple years but are getting ready to move to the US. We were originally going to DCF but I’m a bit concerned with the I-864 as I’m currently unemployed here in China and because my occupation when I'm in the US is an IBEW union electrician. If you know anything about union trade work, you know that there isn’t really such a thing as a work contract that is signed in advance, or that lasts for a certain amount of time, or that shows a yearly salary. I need to actually be there and start working to show all of that, which is what I'd like to do if possible I know a joint sponsor would be a solution but I’d rather not have to ask my dad to be one unless I absolutely have to. I also know that I could move back ahead of them and start working but splitting up our family is not an option. Questions: Is there a way to start the green card process for my wife while we’re still here in China, then we all move to the US and I start working to build up some pay-stubs and proof of income before filing the I-864? Or maybe even move to the States with my wife on her current B1/B2 visa and then start the whole process from there with an AOS after I’ve been working for a bit? Isn’t the I-864 normally one of the last things submitted? If that’s the case, couldn’t I make it to where there’s enough time between the start of the process and the filing of the I-864 for me to work most of next year, file taxes for next year, and then have a tax return to submit showing decent income while we all live there together? I was thinking you had a certain window (like 2 years) that you could wait to finish the whole process once it was started? Could that help me out with this situation? What are our options? Do we even have options? Thanks for your help in advance, Tom

Just got back from Beijing where we filed the I-130 petition for and IR-1 Spouse Visa. When you arrive there is a long line on the left and a place to line up for American Citizen Services (ACS.) You should wait there. The USCIS and ACS use the same entrance and they are right next to each other. The appointment receipt says to check in at window 11, but they just called names. I guess you check in at security or they go down the list based on appointments. When they called my name they went through all of the documents and some things, like spouses passports, Marriage License. If they looked at the original, I noticed that they stamped and signed the page that said "Original seen" or something like that. He was very thorough and very professional about the whole thing. In the end he asked if we are ready to move back to the states and I said "pretty ready" which I second-guessed later, but I am sure it is fine. I then had to go to the ACS side to pay the $535 fee and bring the receipt back so that they could make a copy of it. At the end he said I would hear back from them in 2-3 months. The USCIS says Beijing processing time is one month, so I will expect 2-3 months and be happy if it is sooner. Also, the expiration date for the current I-130 application was for that day 7/31/2018 so if you are currently filling out the forms, make sure you have the most up to date one. Currently they will still accept this one as they do not have a new version yet.

Hello everyone, First of all a big thanks to everyone who's posted helpful guides of the DCF process for those of us living here in China wanting to bring our Chinese spouses over to the US. Everything was going well and approved (thanks to the advice on this website) until today when my wife had her interview in Guangzhou. When it came time for the interview, the visa officer asked her a few questions about our relationship but was mostly interested in our plan for when we go back to the US. When she started describing what she would do, he cut her off and asked about me (the petitioner and US citizen) and what my plan was. She told him truthfully that I was going to go back to school part-time and work part-time. After hearing that he declared that a part-time job wasn't enough to support two people so my wife answered that we'd have to stay with my mom (who is her joint sponsor) until we could save some money. She also suggested that we would both be working when we got into the US. He still didn't like this so he asked if I currently had a job in the US to which she answered no, because I am still working in China. Lastly he asked if I owned any property in the US to which my wife again answered no. After that he didn't ask her any more questions and gave her a white checklist for various petitioner documents with the section for "evidence of the petitioner's intent to establish and/or current domicile in the US" checked off. She also got a three-page document "9 FAM 40.41 N7 Domicile and the Form I-864" that lists the various requirements for domicile. Initially I was very confused why she got a request for this information because I had made a nice packet with a written letter of intent to re-establish domicile in the US and included a copy of my passport, birth certificate, driver's license, acceptance letter to study part-time in Fall of 2018, investment account statement, auto loan statement, insurance statement, bank statements and credit card statements. However, I didn't stick these with my form I-864 and instead had them as a separate "packet" in the front of the application binder. The document intake person didn't specifically ask for these documents (only form I-864 from me and our joint sponsor) and my wife didn't know how important they were so she didn't hand them in. What I am confused about is if I must include proof that I have a job in the US due to how much the visa officer asked about whether or not I had one or if my bank account, investment, auto loan statements, etc. that I had originally prepared (and they didn't see) are enough? I did some research and found on travel.state.gov's I-864 section under the heading "If a petitioner does not have a domicile in the United States can a joint sponsor file form I-864?" it says:"No, the petitioner must meet all the requirements to be a sponsor (age, domicile and citizenship), except those related to income, before there can be a joint sponsor." When reading that it sounds like I just need to prove my domicile in the United States with things like bank statements, etc. but not necessarily have a job already lined up since we have a joint sponsor whose income is $64,000, is this correct? I want to make absolutely sure that I give them enough evidence to show my domicile in the US. Also, after I submit these documents through CITIC bank, is this a "one chance" deal where if the evidence still isn't enough, we have to start all over or is it a back-and-forth process until we meet their requirements? Secondly, will my wife need to interview again? She said that before leaving the visa officer said there was nothing wrong with her interview but that they needed more information. Aside from the two white pieces of paper mentioned earlier, we have not received any further information from the embassy.I have not seen anyone else mention that a job in the US is mandatory although I understand it can be a big help. Thanks for any advice/information others can provide.

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum and hope to seek better understanding of this process and help. Me and my husband, who is a Chinese National, recently got married (last month). I am 25 and he is 29 years old. We want to begin this process as soon as possible, however we thought we may need a lawyer for our situation. For example, my husband last year applied for a tourist visa twice and was declined twice under 214b. We think he was declined because he was honest and stated he wanted to visit his girlfriend's family and friends. We thought that because of this maybe we needed a lawyer for our Spousal visa. However the lawyer keeps changing prices and its up to 3,400 dollars, so we are really reconsidering if a lawyers help is really necessary. If we don't go with the lawyer, we would most likely apply through the Guangzhou UCIS consulate, however we don't know where to begin. We don't want this to be a repeat of the tourist visa again. That was just disheartening because he wanted to do things right and meet my family and friends first. But alas.... So from what I gathered from these threads is that I need to gather: Make an appointment with UCIS Guangzhou, bring in the below documents: 1. I-130 Form 2. I-130A Form 3. Proof of my residency in China 4. 2 passport size photos for me and my husband 5. Passport 6. Confirmation page And is that it? Is that the first step? If so, how long will it be until I receive a response after?

Hey Everyone, The posts here have been so helpful. I will be submitting our I-130 for IR1 visa in Beijing in July and I was wondering a few things. I used the cover letter that was suggested as a guide for all of the evidence that I have collected for this first round. I am wondering for the evolution of relationship letter, who got them notarized? I am thinking that they signature is enough, but want to hear everyones thoughts. Also, did your spouse beneficiaries also write an evolution of relationship letter? the G-325a document is no longer available correct? The new form to be filled out by the spouse is the I-130a? thank you for everyone's help

You can't even take your phone in with you at the US Embassy in Beijing so these pics may be helpful to some. Shows where this place is located on the map (blue dot) and what it looks like out front. They don't have any English signs so I wasn't sure what was inside but I had a hunch there were lockers in there and turns out I guessed right! Cost was 20 rmb

i have been reading over every thread in the past couple days about the K1 visa but while filling in all the information i'm so nervous i will forget a crucial piece of information which will cost us a ton of money/time. a little backstory, i have lived in china for the past couple years (and dated her for years while being here) and we are finally ready to get married and go back home. She has just graduated school so has never had a job before, My contract for my job is done in 6 months and i was hoping to only make her wait a month or two after i leave for her to be able to come with me (the shorter the process the better, i would rather not leave her behind) I read some people mentioning something getting married in china and filing for a CR-1 (but it takes longer? possibly?) which option is the best for a guy with little life savings and time? also i had some questions about filling out the K1 form is thats the route i go 1. i read about the fee, the only issue is i do not own checks for my american bank account (and im sure they would not send them here) do chinese post offices offer money orders and is that the best way in my situation? 2. my girlfriend can speak and write in english, all the addresses for her are in english ( chinese street addresses in english also) except for one section where it says for her address in her native language, if this is the only section that has chinese will i still need a translator? 3. also just to make sure im not forgetting anything most of the stuff needed like medicals and criminal are all before the interview right? the only thing needed during the K1 filing part is the 2x2 photo and evidence of our relationship? i know there was a thread recently asking about CR-1 vs K1 but every place i turn everyone is telling me different things and are lawyers/ services like visa sorry for so many questions, i feel i may only get one good shot at this before going back home so im trying to be 110% prepared before submitting it, but i know the longer i wait the less time i have for everything else -
Any idea how long the processing time for the i-130 is supposed to be? I submitted it to Guangzhou on August 17. Filled out the form where they are supposed to email or contact me but I haven't heard back yet. It's been 12 days and it's going to be two weeks by Thursday.

For those living in China, the USCIS allows filing of the I-130 Petition for Alien Relative directly with USCIS offices in either Beijing or Guangzhou, depending on which district you reside. See USCIS Information for information about the USCIS offices. This service is provided for the convenience of the American Citizen living in China, regardless of whether the beneficiary is Chinese or other nationality. Petitions filed DCF are processed by the USCIS office they are filed with, and then sent directly to Guangzhou for processing of the beneficiary's application. Total time for processing can be as little as 1 to 4 months from filing of petition to interview, Petitions filed stateside will generally take six months or longer. From https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-offices/china-uscis-guangzhou-field-office - and - https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-offices/china-uscis-beijing-field-office Note that the requirement is that you LIVE in China - there IS no longer a six month residence requirement (that was dropped in 2011), but you WILL need to provide evidence that you LIVE in the USCIS district. A residence permit is NOT NECESSARILY required. A determination will be made by the Consular Officer who ACCEPTS your petition as to whether you RESIDE in China. Please be prepared with evidence, such as a list of Entry and Exit dates or other evidence listed in the following quote box. The residence registration form obtained from the PSB is NOT a residence permit. See below picture. Requirements and actual experiences change often. Updates to this process are posted by individual users. See http://candleforlove.com/forums/tags/forums/DCF/ These two topics are especially detailed accounts of the poster's own experience A Guide to DCF For Dummies Guide to IR-1 (DCF) Some USTravelDocs screenshots that may be useful CGI Stanley - Step by step Be aware that the fees paid by DCF filers are different in two ways - there is no I-864 processing fee, and the visa fees are paid at the consulate on the day of the interview.

There is no I-864 fee when filing DCF. Don't forget to pay the green card fee (AFTER they passes the interview and before they enter the U.S.).

It is a visa which allows multiple Entry and Exit, and does NOT require a border run to renew. The Registration of Temporary Residence form issued by the PSB is NOT a residence permit!

US Citizen here, recently married to a naturalized Japanese citizen (who was born and raised as a Chinese citizen until 3 years ago). Since there isn't USCIS Field Office in Japan, we are hoping to move to Guangzhou and file I-130 via DCF there so that we can avoid filing with Chicago Lockbox and dealing with long processing times (18+ months). However, after reading through the stickied guides about DCF, I may have stumbled upon a huge oversight. Are we ineligible for DCF because my wife is a Japanese citizen and no longer a Chinese citizen? Is DCF only available for beneficiary spouses who are citizens of the country that the Field Office has jurisdiction over? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Quick question - My parents will be signing as joint sponsors, and I also planned on having a couple letters from friends and family supporting that our relationship is real. As I'm living in China with my husband, do they need to mail these documents to me so I can have the original copies? Do letters of support need to be notarized in the US and then sent here? I noticed on the USCIS website it said they will accept copies but that originals may be requested at any time. Is it better to just have everything mailed here just in case? What was your experience when you filed? Thanks!

Its been a long time coming and its a relief to get this process going. Here's my questions about the process: On a lot of the checklists it doesn't mention the marriage certificate itself needs to be brought to the application. I didn't bring it foolishly and he asked if I had it. He said I may need to add it later if asked. Is this normal? I had the white book and thought that was enough. Secondly they took and kept my wife's passport. Is this normal? I thought it was quite odd. Thanks Nathan

I'm the USC living in China for the last 5 years. We are preparing documents now for DCF in Guangzhou. Do I need my real birth certificate and social security card? These are still in America at my permanent residence (my parents home) I'm worried about mailing these important documents to China, if this is the case. Can my parents get notarized copies in America and send them here? It's a much safer option, but will they be accepted by VO? Thanks! Sarah

rjw - the board software seems to have dropped the 中文 characters in this thread. I will be re-entering them as I can find them. Foreword: This guide is written to help Americans living in China doing Direct Consulate Filing to bring their families to the United States through an I-130 petition. This is written based on my wifes and my experience in getting her Visa/Green Card through this process. Of all the methods available to get a Green Card, this is definitely the fastest and most convenient. I am in no way trying to replace the great stickied guide available here, and I actually suggest using this in conjunction with it. I will try to avoid repeating information there, and instead give direction on where to get certain documents, what the costs are, and give some other suggestions of my own. If this guide doesnt answer any of your more specific questions regarding a particular step or form, there is probably an answer somewhere in the forums. If you still cant find it, dont hesitate to post your own questions. There are many helpful people who will be quick to share their knowledge and experience! Included in this guide are our timeline, costs at every point in the visa, and a step by step breakthrough of each step of the application process. They will be posted as replies to this topic. All of this information is accurate as of May 2016. I cant emphasize enough the importance of over preparing and doing it early. Not only will it ensure a quicker, smoother application process, but it will also give you a peace of mind and confidence that can get you through the frustrations of everything. A piece of advice I heard from someone else is this. Remember, it isnt you and your significant other fighting against the consulate or the government. As a citizen of the United States you have the right to take your family with you back to the United States, and the government has the responsibility to help you do it. So follow the (sometimes unclear) instructions, get through all the red tape, and you will have no problem. I will also include the Chinese names of many of the documents or places, as that should makes things easier for your spouse. Our Timeline: 4/12/2016 - Submitted I-130 4/18/2016 - Received e-mail with instructions to submit DS-260 4/22/2016 - Submitted DS-260 online 4/25/2016 - Submitted additional paperwork through CITIC bank 5/3/2016 - Received e-mail with instructions to schedule interview 5/17/2016 - Medical and Vaccinations 5/19/2016 - Picked up medical results and passed interview 5/23/2016 - Online status showed visa issued ??/??/2016 - Picked up visa from CITIC Bank Major Costs: I paid in a mixture of both RMB and USD throughout this process. Anything paid for at the consulate can be paid in either currency or with a credit card. Chinese documents obviously need to be paid for with RMB, and the green card fee needs to be paid in USD. I-130 Submission - $420 Notarial Certificates ֤ 1000-1500 RMB (Every ֤ will have different costs, and you can choose how many copies of each document that you want notarized. We paid 230 for one, and 40 for each additional copy) Medical and Full Round of Vaccinations C 1362 RMB Interview - 2200 RMB Green Card Processing Fee - $160 Total - $1400 (approximately) Note: There are also many smaller fees for getting passport photos, printing documents, etc.

1. Do I have to deliver the i-130 in person or can I mail it? 2. I have a family visa (, which is a residence permit for foreigners. Does this qualify for applying for the K-3 for my Chinese wife? 3. Is the K-3 still a viable option? Is it faster than cr1 or whatever? 4. Why they heck don't embassies allow people to contact them with questions? If anyone can answer any of these questions, it's much appreciated. Thanks!

I have an upcoming appointment that I can't make to file an I-130 for my wife. We are kind of last minute getting the marriage notarial certificates (and others for later) ready for the filing and we feel like we won't make the time this Thursday. I called the consulate in Guangzhou and they said we could file on a Friday during the public hours if we needed to. The reason I can't set an appointment is the next available appointment is the middle of May, and I will be on a business trip for more than a month in the USA starting May 11th. Does anyone have experience in filing an I-130 during public hours on Friday in GUZ? Thanks, Nathan

I think this is the next step for us? DS-260 email I went submitted the DS-260 last night. I registered at the link to setup an address for a Citic bank. I think I can just go to the bank I selected tomorrow and send Guangzhou the confirmation page, the email telling us to fill out DS-260, two cover letters, two passport photos of my wife, and my wife's passport page. I think this is the next step for us? Is there anything else I need to send at this time? Thank you -
We filed in Guangzhou on April 06 2017 and got an email saying to fill out DS-260 on April 14 2017. I actually made a mistake in making the appointment with the second floor at Guangzhou instead of the third floor. I called the Guangzhou consulate and talked to the man that works there and he arranged for us to come in without an appointment. He basically made us an appointment. Very happy to have this step done.

Hello! I am planning to get married to a woman from China soon, and either do so here in China or possibly go back to the US and get married there. I have gone through a divorce from a woman whom I married and filed for the CR-1 visa previously about a decade ago. The divorce was over 4 years ago. I have been living here in China for quite a while since my divorce (which was slightly after my ex-wife received her citizenship) and am hoping to not get stuck in China for too much longer (due to health issues and whatnot). My wife-to-be's parents have already dragged things out as much as possible to try and keep us from going to the US, and are trying to get her to postpone our wedding for about 16-18 months for planning of the ceremony (obviously not necessary). My fiancee is not "allowed" by her parents to live with me even after we sign our papers, and only can after the wedding ceremony (which I obviously am not going to wait the 16+ months for). Regarding the K1, it seems like it may be a good option since this way we can go to the States sooner, however, the CR-1 would allow us to get married in China and not need to fly back here and have a ceremony in China after the US ceremony which would be convenient. 1. Can I (probably with my wife-to-be) travel back to the US for an extended period of time AFTER filing for the CR-1, or will this look bad? 2. Having been through this process before, would either of the choices be better in terms of a higher probability of a positive interview experience? I wasn't sure how much previously having divorced would affect things. A few people have told me they heard the K1 is easier to get, so I figure if that's the case I may go that route. -

I have a question about DCF in Guangzhou. I have talked to the people that work at Guangzhou. They have told me my wife who is a Chinese citizen can come in the building with me when I file our I-130 form. I always thought a Chinese citizen could not come in the building until it's time for the interview. Thank you
-
Does anyone have any advice? My wife and I will be going to Guangzhou in April. We have filled out the new I-130 form, the brand new form I-130a and form G-1145. We have had our marriage certificates notarized and translated into the white books. We will have many pictures of us together, and pictures of us with her family. We will have three relationship affidavits from my parents and sister. I have made a cover letter, and relationship letter. Anything else I should do? Thank you
