Patrick & Li Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I noticed on the new K3/K1 timeline site that someone said they had downloaded the P3 documents and Pre-sent them to their consolute. Is this something that i can do to get ahead of the game? Patrick Link to comment
frank1538 Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 While you can download the P3 documents, it is very very rare for GZ to set up a provisional file before the information is entered into the system. Some consulates/embassies will do this, but GZ has a policy against provisional files. I have no idea what would happen if you tried to send in the P3 documents in advance of receiving them from GZ - maybe nothing. Link to comment
Patrick & Li Posted October 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I assume the GUZ# that i got from NVC isn't the same as the GUZ# that GZ will assign our case, Is it? Patrick Link to comment

Some consulates/embassies will do this, but GZ has a policy against provisional files.What's really sad is that they said they would open a provisional file for my case.. when I followed-up, they claimed they had no idea what I was talking about. As far as GZ assigning its own GUZ number.. the popular consensus seems to be that they do assign a seperate number. I've no clue why, but that seems to be the case. Link to comment
Stats Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 The problem is that the returned documents need the GZ assigned GUZ#. Unless you are lucky enough to get it over the phone before receiving P3, you won't have it. It would just confuse them (not a good thing). I got my GUZ# over phone on Thursday, no problem. I called NVC and asked about the status of the name check. She said it cleared and here is your GUZ #. That said, I would not expect GZ to do anything based on a case number at the moment.

Stats Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 There's a good deal of confusion about the GUZ#. When NVC gets the file from the service center, they assign a GUZ# for their purpose. It is something like GUZ2003dddnnn where ddd is greater than 366. When the file gets to GZ, they assign a new GUZ# where ddd is 366 or less. They are two different things; the NVC number means nothing to GZ except that it isn't theirs, and visa-versa. The only thing in common is they both start with GUZ, hence the confusion.Thanks, I did not know that Link to comment
