Processing Fee

[hank]

On the embassy website titled "K1 Visa Processing In Guangzhou", they state that the P3 includes " a list of specified branches of the CITIC Industrial Bank where applicants can pay for the RMB830.00 processing fee prior to the interview." My SO received her P3, but only mentioned the two forms (DS-230 & OF-169).

 

Do we need to make a payment before we can receive the P4? Any info would be very helpful.

Make the payment before the medical exam in GZ.

You will get the P4 before paying the fee.

After P4 arrives, then you'll know when her interview will be in GZ. Once your sweetie is in GZ ...

 

> Pay fee at specified bank

> KEEP RECEIPT

> Give receipt to medical person at medical exam

> Medical person seals receipt in with medical results

> Medical results (and receipt) are given to Feds at interview

 

TIP: schedule the medical exam at least 5 days before interview to avoid catastrophic delays

There is no fee to be paid with the two forms you received. When you get the P-4 you will have to pay a fee for the medical. I believe the Medical fee does not include the visa fee of 830 rmb. These are two seperate fee's you will have to pay.

Be sure you bring the receipt for the visa fee to the interview. This is one of the first things they will ask you for!! Simply put, No receipt No VISA!!!
