Lowen/Zhang Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) Well I am back. Many telephone calls later to DOS. The only new information I have received from DOS is that the last correspondence entered in the computer from my wife was on May 9. I can only assume that this the receipt of the package 3. My wife mailed it back to GUZ on 4/29. I only obtained this information last week. Why does it take so long to tell you something if it happened on May 9. No namecheck information or anything else. They say going through "ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING". What does that mean? Am I getting close to getting my wife to the USA? I don't have a clue? I talk to her everyday twice a day and she seems not worried a bit. She says, "we will be together soon do not worry." Well I do worry that's my job to worry and would like answers or something.

Nothing you can do except call DOS for the status and sit back and wait. Link to comment
Lowen/Zhang Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 But I thought K3 name check was done at the NVC before sending to GUZ? Link to comment
IluvmyLi Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 But I thought K3 name check was done at the NVC before sending to GUZ?223440[/snapback]i'm sorry. I didn't realize you were K3. I think GUZ can still request a 2nd name check. Link to comment
david_dawei Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Here it is from the horse's mouth: "Adminsistrative processing" is more or less a catch all phrase we can use for many things. Sincerely, IV Unit, US Consulate, Guangzhou, China193939[/snapback] It could almost anything.. verifying information, security check, etc... and it could be days or months... I'd continue to call DOS... state your situation of always getting no info.. see if someone will eventually tell you what it is. My opinion is that usually the issue is documented somewhere, if someone will take the time to dig for it. Link to comment
Lowen/Zhang Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yes I guess a second name check might be in order for one of the most common names in China! Link to comment

Lowen/Zhang Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) I say only "ONE" of the most common! Edited June 12, 2006 by Lowen/Zhang (see edit history) Link to comment
IluvmyLi Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I say only "ONE" of the most common!223449[/snapback]Yes, one of many. And to think we are depending on the US gov to do a name check on a chinese. God help us! Link to comment
Lowen/Zhang Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) Yes and mine will be a great one for them. Her Mother's family name is the same as her ex, BUT NOT RELATED. Her Mother's Mother's family name is the same as her Father's BUT NOT RELATED. And both Father's parents had the same Family name, BUT NOT RELATED. There are also 5 people currently in the USA that have the same exact name family and given as my wife's. Does that make sense? LOL I don't know.

Lowen/Zhang Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Getting back to the topic here of confusion. It was my thought the K3 was established to enabled families to be together quicker but it seems it is quicker to go K1 than K3. But I can't get answers on the I 129F or the I 130 Link to comment
david_dawei Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Your timeline is faster than average from Submission to P3... Your asking for a status at the very point where it is sometimes hardest to get any (ie: you have to call DOS to find out what GUZ is doing). You need to let it get through whatever it's doing and get to a point where it is updated on the computer. You shouldn't be worrying till you are way,way over average... you will find it more difficult if you want to micro-manage this process.. particularly at this stage. I'd suggest you give it a break and call DOS again in two weeks... Link to comment

Lowen/Zhang Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) I really do try not to call but curiousity gets the best of me. I can say though I usually call only twice a week, at the beginning and the end. I call GUZ in between with the pre-paid PIN. That is a joke! All they ever say is "my PIN is correct my case is actice". I know that part. Edited June 12, 2006 by Lowen/Zhang (see edit history) Link to comment
