The interview FAQ has :

 

A.1.23.2

After Interview, it takes one day for the visa stamp and the next day it can be picked up (other than holidays).

 

Interview was Thursday about 11:40. She paid before 12:30 We will pick up the visa Saturday morning.

 

If you go to the interview on Friday you cannot pick up the visa until Tuesday.

Haven't some people posted in the past that they picked their visa up on Monday? Seems like I remember seeing that but the way things change in this process, I don't rightfully know!.....

I believe China Post is open seven days a week.

 

But go and take some down time. Evenings in GZ

can be romantic.

Our interview was on a Friday. We paid the visa pick-up fee immediately after the interview and were told the visa would be available on Tuesday (= two working days after the interview).

 

Since the visa can be picked up any time within 15 days, we flew back to my fiance's home town that same afternoon and did not return to Guangzhou until Thursday--the day before our flight to the US (and two days after the visa was actually available for pick up).

 

We had no problem except for a little difficulty finding the right post office--our taxi driver was convinced the road the post office is on did not exist, so we had to get out of the taxi and find it ourselves.

You can look at johns post and more particularly, his timeline.

They had a Friday interview too, and picked up the visa on Monday.

 

Thus, the moral hear is, "Nothing is etched in stone."..........

[david_dawei]

SO bottom line is: ask if you can get it on monday...

[yuehan123]

The part etched in stone is that you can not pick up the visa until two working days "after you pay for it" not two working days after approval.

[tywy_99]

Well, that may be the par for the course now but in this dynamic process, nothing is truly 'ETCHED' in stone. What 'is' today will be 'was' tomorrow.

I only know that it used to be that Friday interviews were rare and that some have picked up the visa on Monday after an interview on Friday.

Now I read that they mail them!...yes,,,a very dynamic process!

WE just had a Thursday interview and picked up the visa Friday after 3:00pm

[impatient]

Thanks for all the input. I will ask them Vincent if we can get the next day.

Wow, I have been out of the loop. Congratulations on the interview date Bill!

To be specific, China Post is closed on Sunday, at least the one you make the payment, but you pick up the visa at a China Postal Savings which is open 7 days a week.

Well, gotta go, Jen beam me back up!
