impatient Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I have been waiting impatiently as usual for GZ to confirm that they have our paperwork to get our P3 and I am getting tired of hearing no. Is there a certain day of the week that they get the files from customs? Bill Link to comment
BuffaloPaul Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 GZ claims they still have not got our paper copy yet and it was mailed the 11th. I don't know what they do with that stuff in customs or whatever Link to comment
impatient Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I got conflicting dates from NVC, one person told me ours was sent the 11th and then DOS told me about the 24th, so I do not know who to believe but this is taking too long. Bill Link to comment

nygatl15 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I have never checked with NVC, but mine k1 was approved feb 23... I keep emailing Ghaungzhou, they repond everytime with, "we don't have your petition in the system". In this modern age, you'd think they could at least tell me where ... anyway still waiting for word.... we are looking at trouble, we are trying to change my SO's address. It could be "messy" and cause delays... For now I jst keep emailing them for when they receive the change. my SO did fax them her new address written in chinese as they requested... but f they haven't touched the file, does it do any good?

impatient Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 nygatl15, not sure if your fax will do any good or not since it seems they are too lazy to look at the files they have or acknowledge that they have them. I also have been emailing them once a week to check the status and it seems the emails are getting snottier each time. What they do not understand is if they would do give me my p3 I wiould leave them along, for awhile. Good luck to you. Bill Link to comment
nygatl15 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 impatient, I only sent them the email because they told me to. I sent the an email the next day saying I sent the address as requested and asking for a status. They told me the petition has not been received yet. ... no surprise here. we need to make an address change, I'm sure it will get messy Link to comment
Dan R Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 You would think the State Department would be computerized by now. Especially after the whole system was upgraded at tax payers expense during the Y2K false alarm. You'd think we would have gotten something for those billions. Hey maybe we did and all this has nothing to do with the staff, just a computer glitch. Link to comment
impatient Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Dan, they are computerized but that seems to be the problem, that is the only copy they have is the electronic one and they will not do anything until the receive the paper copy. Bill Link to comment
king Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Yesterday, China time, DHL delivered 20-25 boxes to GUZ. I think they are boxes of files. Link to comment
impatient Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I called DOS this morning and was told they still have not received my file, maybe it is lost in GZ blackhole. Bill Link to comment
cosmiclobster Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 If the boxes were indeed delivered on the 24th, which is the word of an American Visa attorney living in GZ whom all of us here at CFL trust 100%, then you are 1 step closer to having some info and progress on your case. WAIT A FEW DAYS for them to input all of the names from these boxes into their PC. Then you can call DOS and get the exact date that your case was entered into the GZ computer. Your P3 should get mailed out 2 to 4 weeks after this date. Link to comment
king Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Actually I have heard there is some type of pre-notice to GUZ from the States, but I have never had it confirmed. Makes sense as it would be the logical way to verify GUZ gets the physical files. If I had it that easy by just looking out the window, I would not get my daily walking exercise which I need for the "battle of the bulge." Link to comment
impatient Posted March 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 King, they actually do get the electronic files from DOS but they will not even start the P3 until the have the hard copies. Thanks for all of your input from GZ. Bill Link to comment
