Petitioner Hour--Clarification

[USCONGUZ]

Dear CFL Members,

 

We noticed a recent posting that incorrectly described the purpose of the Consulate¡¯s IV petitioner hour. To clarify, the purpose of this session is not to serve as a chance at a prior/second opinion or appeal.

 

We established this petitioner hour in order to give petitioners the chance to ask general questions about visa application procedures before or after their family member¡¯s interview.

 

Petitioner hour is not the time or place to submit supporting documents relating to a fianc¨¦e visa. Instead, applicants should provide this information at their interview, or consult with their petitioner to mail it in, if asked to do so. The only information officers will accept on Monday afternoons is updated address or contact information.

 

Please refer to question number five on our website at http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/iv_faqs.htm for more information.

 

Thank you,

 

U.S. Consulate Guangzhou, China
