goneflying2000 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 There is only ever 1 pkg of visas shipped to GUZ on a given day.If you go to the DHL website and log in to Track By Reference and then enter thr reference as I-730 and the ship date it will tell you the status of all worldwide visa shipments for that day. Just scroll down to Guangzhou. If the weight of the pkg was over 4.4 lbs it will be held for chinese customs inspection and will show clearence delay.Good Luck Link to comment

LeeFisher3 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 The short answer is no, you wouldn't expect a well oiled cog within the bureaucratic machine to keep that sort of useless information around, it would demonstrate some degree of accountability and we just can't have that. The only way to know of the next step is to send an email to GZ asking if your case has been received, but I wouldn't send them more than one a week. Hopefully you will get through this in only a few weeks and can move on to the next line. Link to comment
Beermann Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Where exactly is this customs hold conducted? Does customs physically go into the DHL Facility and check packages there? I asked earlier what it meant that my case is sitting in the DHL Facility as of today and got an answer back that it would sit there in that facility for a month...hmmm..interesting to learn what in the heck really goes on here...

Many on this board believe that "customs delay" is a euphemism for off-site storage. Link to comment
