Packet 3 (GUZ)

[Darryl2277 1]

HI All, our Noa2 was approved on 8/10, and was sent from NVC to the consulate on 8/18. Since then, nothing. Should I be concerned? Is there any way to determine where it is? I have emailed, and they confirmed back that it left on 8/18, but that's all the info I can get from them. Any help is appreciated. Tks. Darryl

Have you tried contacting the consulate?

Contact the consulate with the case number that you got from NVC. They are your next step in the process

Congratulations!!

Thank you so much for posting your timeline, my NVC had sent my file to the consulate on 8/25 and I was expecting my fiance to receive the pkg in 1 month, but base on how your case turn out, this means we should get it around 8 days from today. Thank you so much, my anxiety and impatience has gotten to the peak before I found your post. Just want to say thank you!

Congratulation PostDarryl2277. Now you can tell your finance to send back the contents of package 3 without waiting to receive the P3 from the consulate. This will save weeks off the waiting. See P3 shortcut here http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/GUZ_P3_Shortcut

The forms can be downloaded from http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/forms_and_packets.htm

Popodita, you should call DOS everyday now to get the latest status. Everyone's progress is different so it may be 8 days or may be less or more. Call DOS to be sure. Meanwhile you can tell your finance to prepare the forms in P3 package so that you can send them out as soon as your P3 is marked as sent. See above reply for details.

Wow, thanks for the tip, I will do that for sure! People in this forum is so awesome, I'm very grateful of all the help that's been available to newbies like me to get through this nerve racking stage. Thanks S&E!

Just curious, did you recieve the actual P3 yet? I wonder how long it takes for them to send the actual P3 to the beneficiary....

My fiance received the actual P3 package yesterday. About 2 weeks from the sent date (9/30).

Congrats... 1 more pkg to go!

I called the DOS today, and they said the pkg is with the embassy now, not in transit, what does that mean?

Thanks. I think that means the consulate has received your case file but hasn't process it yet. Once they do, they will send the P3 package out. Just keep calling. Good luck!

I called today again, and they said the guy who told me the file went to the embassy mean the e-file went to the embassy, so the packet 3 is still in transit :crying: why does it take so long to clear custom?! for 7 weeks i could've swim across the pacific ocean to Guangzhou already!

Just be patient. There's really nothing you can do. Your case file is most likely in the consulate already but waiting to be processed. Don't forget there was also a week long holiday in early Oct. Until the case file is opened and put into the computer they will always tell you it's in transit. Should be any day now.

Thank you so much for your support, if you ever come to LA, I'd like to treat you and your fiance for dinner!
