Waiting for the some kind of confirmation/letter for the interview?

[parkour69]

Hi,

As you can see I've filed in documents and case officer has reviewed them at guangzhou consulate and they accepted it.

Case Creation Date: 05-Nov-2014

Then on January

Status Updated Date:

28-Jan-2015

 

 

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed or available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing.In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached.

 

 

I was thinking that we'll receive an actual letter from them because of the address being given to them on i864 form, but so far after 2 weeks from the date of Jan of 28th we have received no letter and I am getting a little bit worried if the case has been stalled or something is wrong and I have no idea to find out any information about it.

Please assist me.

When in administrative process it can be a few weeks to a few months, it's anyone's guess.

You can always ask the consulate directly about status using their online contact form.

I probably would limit contact to once a week or every other week.

We were in AP for 5 weeks

Back in April and did not change until a hour before interview.

So I have finally received a reply a week ago and damn bureaucrats made some kind of mistake. They claimed that I have been sent "only via email" on january of 21st the further instructions, but i have my email set to be received in inbox only from them and I have received none....
It's been over 3 months delay because of that.

I am getting a little bit worried by now, because they are not reply me from the link below.

I am just flabbergasted why would send via email only interview instructions if such were sent, only via email and not through an actual mail or phone call... sounds so unprofessional of them.

AP is normal for a week or two after an interview, yeah? I'd expect that it's necessary since there is probably literal administrative processing that needs to happen when a visa is issued (applying the visa to the passport, double-checking documents and support forms, preparing immigration/POE packets, bundling passports and packets together for shipping to CGI, CGI ships and distributes them to the assigned CITIC bank, and so on...)

 

For you guys that had successful interviews without requests for extra documentation, was your case in AP immediately after the interview?

[yanglan]

Yes, we saw AP before Issued as well.

I keep contacting them via http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/immigrant-visa-unit-question.html

but they do not reply to my questions as to what are the further actions after the interview directions which weren't sent via email as they claim to be.

Is there any other way for me contacting them because I know they messed up.

I would prefer to speak to someone on the phone.

[parkour69]

Never mind I finally got a reply.
