fly Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Hi, I'm planning to file I-129F for my fiancee in Shanghai. Which consulate should I put in question 19 on I-129F? Shanghai or Guanzhou? Thanks. Link to comment
nousername Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 i believe that Guangzhou is the only consulate in china that processes family based visas. Link to comment

beijingjenny Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I believe you can only file that one through a service center in the US. If you were married and a resident of China you could file the I-130 directly through the Shanghai consulate. Link to comment

goneflying2000 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I assume that you are here in the US and your fiancee lives in Shanghai.If this is the case you will file with the USCIS here and as I was told do not specify a consulate on line 19 just N/A All family based visas are isuued through Guangzhou and the NVC will handle that when they issue you a case numberAlso there is a meeting of many of the 001 ladies in Shanghai next Sunday if your fiancee could attend I think she could learn a great deal about the process Link to comment
fly Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Thank you all for the input. But I am still not sure what to put on line 19. Just to clarify my question, line 19 of I-129F is: Your fiance(e) will apply for a visa abroad at the American embassy or consulate in: City, Country goneflying, you're right, I'm in the US, my fiancee is in Shanghai. However, based on the I-129F example form at visajourney, it does list a consulate on line 19. May I ask from whom were you told to put N/A on line 19? Thank you once again. Link to comment

Feathers268 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Guangzhou is the correct answer. It also states that if the consulate does not handle that type of visa, the correct one will be assigned. I had put down Shenyang for Jen's petition, and it was ignored and processed though GZ.

goneflying2000 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I was given that answer by USCIS but as has been said no matter what you put it will be processed through GuangzhouGood Luck Link to comment
