Hi Everyone,
My fiancee told VISA people to send VISA to Post Office in Guangzhou 6 days ago, after passing her interview, but still no VISA/Passport at Post Office. Also, after Post Office receives VISA, do they take another 3 days or so before we can pick up her VISA/Passport? A friend who passed the same day, had her VISA in the next day in the Post Office but couldn't pick it till 3 days later. They were married already so it might be a little different process for their VISA. We call every few hours each day. Is there anyone else that we can call to see if the Embassy sent the VISA to the Post Office?
Thanks.

Try to call or email embassy and see if the visa was issued. They would be able to provide with the information on when it was sent, if it was.

I asked the help counter but the lady behind the glass said cannot find out. You have a number to Guangzhou office I can call? I tried EMS website but couldn't get past putting in verification code. Wrong verification code or something. Very frustrating. Will try to call EMS tomorrow . We call EMS at the Post Office every few hours and they said they weren't send visa yet. Cannot believe.
Thanks.

Ours took about 10 days as I recall.
Good Luck on your immigration journey.

The paper that the Embassy gives us says that it takes 2-3 days. Is that if one requests that the package be sent to your hometown? Can't understand that the Post Office is only 2 blocks away and it takes this long. Crazy.

call the DoS Hotline when they are open. [click the girls under my name, study the left panel for calling DOS]
inquire for casefile status.
There are timeticks after an interview ...
--visa approved
--casefile in Administrative Processing
--visa packet sent
usually, when EMS has info in it's online tracking system, the package is waiting for her at the post office.
fwiw - when the casefile is marked 'visa packet sent' - it still hasn't left the building - it's in the mailroom, going through the final bundling. Once it's bundled, there's another queue to go out, as well. The EMS driver only can take so many, until his truck is full, as well. So 3 days IMO is not realistic.
Sorry.
