Hi Guys, I am Laowhy86 on Youtube CGI Status Question

[laowhy86]

Our case is at Guangzhou. She has passed the interview. However, the status was "Issued" but then I was contacted to send a document that was mistranslated (her mothers name from Chinese into PinYin). We got the correct document, and sent it via Citic bank 3 days ago. CGIFederal has changed from "Your passport is still with the US Embassy/Consulate" to now showing "Document Delivery Information:" but no location, just blank. Does this mean it's in processing, on the way, or has arrived? Any ideas how long?

All is cool ! Glad you could come by.

 

You might contact them via their (the consulate's) email web page to see if they're ready for you to send in her passport.

 

You and Winston (and Vivi) have a topic here - http://candleforlove.com/forums/topic/48071-serpentza-my-china-life/?hl=serpentza

 

I hope you can come by more often

Hi there, thanks for the welcome. I tried, but I did not receive a reply.

Update: It has no updated to "Your passport is still with the US Embassy/Consulate" again.
What can I assume?

That you'll get it back with a visa in it! May take a week or two or three. I still can't believe they keep passports for longer than overnuight.

really? that long!!!?

[Randy W]

Yes - probably a week or two. but the thing is - you never know.

 

They are notoriously non-communicative during this period.

If anybody know it is Dan and Randy about these visa questions if they said it you can bank on it.

[laowhy86]

Thanks! Did you do yours at the Guangzhou embassy? They have been quick about everything prior, so I certainly hope it doesn't take that long!

[amberjack1234]

I sent you a PM which you will see of course.

[laowhy86]

Thanks for the feedback, Randy!

The visa is "Issued" and I emailed them at the passport tracking email and I received a reply that says:

"The current status of your passport is Delivered To Post."

This apparently means that it is in fact at the Guangzhou embassy waiting to be sent. I hope it doesn't take as long as everyone is saying.

 

Thanks so much!

[Randy W]

Yeah - that's a week or two or three usually from when you turn in the passport - you're home free (any day now)

Congratulations!


Congratulations!

Oh that is great news then Randy, because we turned the passport in weeks ago! I guess they will send it off any day now! Thanks so much for your help.

Congrats on getting the notification they are done with administrative processing.

 

Note, the only consulate in China that handles immigrant visas is the one in Guangzhou, so we all have dealt with Guangzhou.

 

As for Embassy, there is only one American ambassador in China, ambassadors are stationed in the capital city of a nation thus the Embassy is located in Beijing, all other locations are considered consulates.
