JerryL Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 I just got this two liner from GuangzhouIV this morning... Please note that the case number should be: GUZ2003311XXX. And we will mailout an instruction packet to your fiancée soon. Guangzhou IV So it looks like I did get a new GUZ number, contrary to some of the cases discussed here... Does 311 make sense in the context of the formulas posted here? Did anyone else in the pit crew get new GUZ numbers? Also, does this mean I can go ahead and have my fiancee send the P3 forms back without getting the packet from the consulate? (DS-230 Part I, the checklist, and the supplmentary info list). We've had the forms ready to go for months! Jerry Link to comment

Yeeha, Jerrrry!! Maybe it's not officially "sent" but at least they acknowledge your existence. That's a big step out of the Pit in my book. Link to comment
keelec Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Well, this is the PITS!!!!! Everyone else is bailing on me..... I am stuck here..... It is getting LONELY downe here...... Perhaps some of you should just hold onto your P3 packets and not send them in yet...... Just to keep the rest of us company. Is it a coincidence that Robbhon put my name at the bottom of the pile? Best Wishes to everyone, and I am truely happy for those who are finally seeing some forward processing. ------ Clifford ----- Link to comment

I hope that this is not true and that the rest of us pit members can climb out soon....BTW many ppl who cases reached GZ in late OCT and early NOV received their P3s last week. Link to comment

Mick Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Congrats Bob and Minglian. Another big hurdle cleared. Keep it up! Link to comment
Bob & Minglian Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Thanks for the congratulations, everybody. We are, of course, very happy to know that GZ sent our P3 on November 6, exactly one week from when DHL delivered it. That is amazing speed. And although happy for us I am not happy for others waiting for P3's. In fact, I was hoping that Rob would have received his first. I really wanted that to happen. Yet, I also think it's important for all of us look at our complete timelines to date. For example, Minglian and I were married in Shenzhen September 9, last year. We filed our first petition a year ago. Our case sat with NVC for over 6 months. So, from the date BCIS (then, INS) acknowledged receipt of our first petition on November 15, 2002, until our P3 was sent on November 6, almost a full year had passed. Let's look not just at P3's or P4's but let's also look at every single phase of this long process. I mean nothing is consistent now nor has it ever been. Carl (warpedbored) waited 187 days for his I-129F to be approved. Look at John's (johnnybill45) timeline. There were those who filed I-129's after I did and yet theirs made it to NVC before mine. I thought it was unfair that my DHL door-to-door transit time was 34 days while Rob's made it in just 3 days. Yes, I was very happy for him, yet not happy with ours. I understand the frustration; we all do. And at the point of P3, that frustration has built over a long period of time and we're all close to having that interview and visa. But, shouldn't we all try to focus on how far we have come in this long process instead of who's ahead of whom at this late stage. Delays and processing times seem to vary a lot and certainly don't appear to be rational. I know I'd share the same high level of frustration, especially if the GZ IV unit received our case the end of July or August or even September and still no P3. I do hope that those who have waited the longest will receive good news soon. After reading some of today's posts, I just felt it necessary to express another view. Link to comment
