The embassy phoned my fiancee and said they needed information abouT her 18 year old daughter. my fiancee understanding is they wanted something numbered 365 I know there is nothing numbered 365.I was home at this time so my fiancee ask the woman if she spoke english SO I COULD TALK TO HER.HER ANSWER TO MY FIANCEE WAS "IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS" So I sent an email to the embassy after that happen and ask them to tell me what information they want now all I can do now is wait 5 to 7 days for an answer from them.

dnoblett Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 You got me there too, the OF-169 and DS-230 part 1 is the only things needed to be sent to the consulate, the I-134 is brought to the interview. Note the Embassy is always located in a nation's capital, so the US Embassy is in Beijing. There is a US Consulate located in Guangzhou. Link to comment

The I-134 is not sent to the consulate with the returned P3 forms. Complete and send the enclosed form DS-230 Part I, Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration as well as this document (Form 169). Obtain the following documents on this checklist that pertain to you. As you obtain each document, check the box before each item. Do NOT send the actual documents to the Consular office, as we will have to destroy them. You will not be scheduled for an appointment until you submit these forms. http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/up...m169-May_09.pdf Hopefully the consulate did not do what they said in OF-169 and DESTROY the I-134. I would send another to the Beneficiary just in case. Link to comment

If the consulate knows that you have been living in China, they may demand evidence thay you maintained your US Domicile.

Sebastian Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I assume you have copies of what you sent in - take a look, see if the daughters info for any K-2 stuff is on the I-129F. I'm betting that the G-325 form also doesn't have her info on it. (that's the closest form number to 365). Warmest Regards (and Good Luck !) Link to comment

First, as has been pointed out several times it is not an Embassy. Second, you do have to prove things to the GUZ Consulate - maybe! If they ask for it, you will have to provide it. Thirdly, what has been suggested is that you "think ahead" and ensure that you provide some "proof of domicile in the US", prior to arriving at the interview. This is all sage advice. However, you can take your chances and ignore it, and perhaps it will not come up. Many of us stayed in China, working or attending school while we waited for our loved ones to receive visas. Domicile is an important element in the process, especially under these circumstances. Best of luck in the process, I hope your status as a "Retired US Citizen" whatever that is, keeps you in good stead with both the US Consulate in GUZ and the US Embassy in Beijing. Again, hope you have fair winds and following seas. Edited May 27, 2009 by 2mike&jin (see edit history) Link to comment

That's some new bits - but hei - GUZ IV does change things up a bit - must be the season. In other recent cases, the I-134 was presented at Interview Day. Perhaps this is something new?
