robhon Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Here's our little "pit crew" as posted on the previous P-3 thread: Patrick&LiJerryLBob & MinglianRobhon Anyone else waiting on a P-3 who wants to join the club? And I have a question... Have any of you received a letter from the NVC confirming that your case was forwarded to GZ? We got a verbal confirmation but never received any correspondence. It has me a little concerned. Link to comment
keelec Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Ok,You can add me to the "PITS" too. Of course, my application is stuck in Moscow, and not in China I have heard rumors that Moscow may combine the P3/P4 into a single packet so perhaps our timelines will diverge soon. I HOPE!!!! In a couple days I will be hitting the 10 month point (sorry, I didn't calculate that in weeks). The process was started the first week of January, and the "official Receipt Notice" is dated 1/6/2003 which is what I use for my starting point. Went through Nebraska Service Center..... A few phone calls to the NVC, but no official letter. E-mail has confirmed arrival of the packet in Moscow (date not specified). ------ Clifford ------- Link to comment

It has me a little concerned.The NVC has had the Docs for 6 weeks as of this past Sat 11/1 the paper work sent from BCIS said to call after 4 weeks I have been calling every week since the 4 weeks have passed and the response was "still in Washington DC we will send a letter when we forward it to GZ"..Ok I tell them I just wanted to make sure it was not lost.. Will call again this week to keep them or me on there toes not sure which.M Link to comment
JerryL Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 No, never got written confirmation from the NVC, though was told three different times by three different operators. They also have no provisions for checking if they did send one out or not apparently... Jerry Link to comment

Our case was there for 4 1/2 months. I've heard of people being stuck in that phase for less time and more time. There's no telling where you will fall. Keep calling them! Link to comment
Patrick & Li Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 We got our confirmation from NVC by telephone. I haven't had anything by mail yet from NVC. Not really worried about that though! Patrick Link to comment
Mick Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 The process has changed a lot since the days we went through it. Used to be the 2nd NOA went by diplomatic pouch from the Service Center (in our case TSC) to GZ. Hope things process smoothly for all of you. Link to comment

Keep calling them! --------------------Rob (Berkeley CA) - Youyue (Hechuan, CQ) - K-3I130 Receipt Notice --------- 01/21/03I129F Receipt Notice -------- 02/08/03I129F Approval Notice ------ 03/26/03Security ck started ---------- 04/07/03Security ck finished --------- 08/21/03NVC forwarded to GZ-------- 09/05/03Rob, Sometimes I wonder if the offices at each stage base their processing on the I129/I130 Receipt Time, rather than the time they received the packet. Yours breezed through BCIS (2 months)...... Mine took over 6 months. It is as if NVC let your application sit an extra 3 months just to put you back on track for a year long processing time Note, ours finished NVC at almost the same relative time. Good luck, and I hope your P3 will be following shortly after all of the rumors that I am hearing..... ------ Clifford ------- P.S. I still recommend no more than every other week calls...perhaps every 3rd week....give them a bit of a break, you will know soon enough if something got misplaced.Of course, it would be nice if all of the offices posted regular updates online (more than the estimated processing times that BCIS posts).

Hopefully some of us will get processed this coming week. Link to comment
Bob & Minglian Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 I didn't know NVC sent our case to GZ until I was told during one of my phone calls. No written confirmation ever received, however, I was told several times before when I had called NVC that I would be notified by mail. And although I retained a lawyer to file the I-129F and I-130 for us, she never received written confirmation, either. I hope P3's will be on their way soon. EVERYTHING in this process seems to take so much longer than I think it should! Link to comment

Bobby Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Put me on the list as well.. I was told on Aug. 8 that our paperwork was sent on Aug. 7. I've received no written confirmation. We're calling at least once a week, and e-mailing every two weeks or so. I don't mind the waiting so much (I knew there'd be waiting before I began this process), but I would really like to know exactly where my paperwork is (physically). I can assume I was in the Aug. 8 DHL delivery (9/11 arrival date), but I don't know for sure. Link to comment

JerryL Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 If none of us hears from Guangzhou at the end of next week, we should think about having some "P3 Pit Crew" t-shirts made... Jerry Link to comment
