As long as she interviews in Guangzhou there is no possible indication of fraud.

 

But considering the coronavirus situation in China, they may just waive that requirement. Talk to a local immigrations lawyer in the U.S.

Yes - the 2nd or 3rd floors over there are where you need to go. You shouldn't have any trouble finding the right window. it's a relatively small-ish area of the Great Hall.

Thanks, update you guys tomorrow.

Guys, this visit to citizen service office for filing I-130 was unsuccessful. Lock box or online filing is the only way during this virus period. A total waste of effort of coming to Guangzhou, however learned a lesson. USCIS office in Guangzhou is closed.

. . . and, unfortunately, that's the only way to find out for sure these days. I hope you had some other excursions while you were there.

 

I'm VERY surprised that there wasn't at least someone to talk to.

 

I've heard that they are only NOW beginning to open up from the Coronavitus.

That would be a joke to me if they'd open tomorrow and I am back in Guangxi.

Filing stateside is probably the only reasonable approach, regardless of what the Consulate may be able to muster together.

I have just done online filing. Not so painful. Hope it goes fast.
