Guest shutterbug Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) Actually the consulate has been on Shamian Island for the most part since the late 19th century. It has been at the current address, 1 Shamian Nanjie, since 1990, right next to the White Swan Hotel (Est. 1983). Only the Consular Section moved out in 2005, the rest of the consulate remained. Such arrangement may seem a bit unusual but is hardly unique: Visa Section of Chinese Embassy in Washington is not at the embassy either; instead it is located in a non-descript office building along with those of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People's Republic of Bangladesh.

Shadowman Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 You and Dan are interesting. I haven't heard much from Dan, of course he's waiting. Like you and me.... It seems that DOS has confirmed his arrival. You have to be next! I just found a guy on this site who has the same NVC out day as me.Shadowman, But I can't PM him for some strange reason MikeHi Mike, I received your PM yesterday.I called GUZ and my case has still not been received/logged in. Got the standard 2-4 months reply and was told to call back in 1 month. Shadowman Link to comment

This is the same as Dan.Hope this one contains both ours and Dan's file. I am just wondering why it takes so much time for Guangzhou to acknowlege that they got the package. Mei & Steve You and Dan are interesting. I haven't heard much from Dan, of course he's waiting. Like you and me.... It seems that DOS has confirmed his arrival. You have to be next!

Until I get the interview date, everything else is just speculation. Link to comment

Mike and Yan Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hello How did you find out that it was confirm deliver to the consulate in your timeline? Thanks JoeFlowers!!!You must have been in MY package!!! I¡¯ve been wondering who made it so heavy!!! Maybe one other guy too! Do you also belong to VJ??? (I¡¯m Mike and Yan there also) I guess from your timeline and since only a few documents left NVC in May that you left NVC 05/19/09. DHL gave me the Signed By Date (Mr. Stamp received it). If you are not that date, then use EXP 18 MAY 2009B adjusted for your date on the DHL reference area. if you can, put the exact date of NVC out in your timeline. Mike Link to comment

Mike and Yan Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi Mike, I called GUZ and my case has still not been received/logged in. Got the standard 2-4 months reply and was told to call back in 1 month. ShadowmanShadowman, Give DOS a buzz.They say that my hard copy is in their system.You must also be. Also, I remember reading somewhere (here or VJ) that GUZ scedules only twice a month, at the begining and at the end. So far I have seen only a few August interview dates, all for K1.
