Question on Interview Scheduling

[tony1343 0]

Hi,

So awhile back, my fiancee got the K visa instruction packet (Packet 3). After a delay in trying to get everything together, she sent in whatever forms were required. Now we are waiting to hear back from the Guangzhou, China consulate (for Packet 4 I guess).

I'm not exactly sure how this works. Do they at that time send you a date and time for your interview? Or do you actually call up some number and setup a date that works for you? I'm just wondering, because in August/September I will be in China and so it will be great if the interview is at that time and I can go with her to Guangzhou.

Thank you very much for all the help thus far. Happy Fourth of July!

They will send your fiance an appt letter but if you don't want to wait you can call DOS and ask about the status. If an interview is scheduled they will tell you when it is. You need to have your GUZ # and her full name, your full name. After you give them all that they will either tell you it is still pending or "I'm happy to be able to tell you that your fiance's interview is scheduled for..."

Good luck to you.

Thanks for the help. Fiancee actually did already receive Packet 4 with the interview date. I was a little confused, because she told me that they hadn't yet given her an interview date. So I was wondering if something changed. Anyway, she looked again after work and called me back. Somehow she missed the date. It's less than a month away.

Process so far has gone very well and been much faster than expected. We are actually going to try to delay the interview date, because I'd like to be there. Plus, we'd like to have some more recent evidence of ongoing relationship (it's been almost a year since we've been able to meet in person). If we can get a date when I'll be there, great. If not, we should be okay, as we have pretty extensive evidence (I've been there 4 times already).

Hopefully, the process is going well for others. From what I've heard, seems like it hasn't been taking as long lately.
