Tracking Visa After Interview

[Edgar & Rita 0]

Hello, my fiance got an approval on her interview for a K1 visa last Friday on 1/18. They told her that it will take 3-5 days to mail the visa with the passport to her, but I figure it could take up to 10 days. However, what's bothering me is that the tracking number they gave her doesn't really give out much info. In fact, it says that there's no such tracking number when I try to look it up here:

I don't know much about how the tracking works in China but according to my fiance they don't even post the tracking info until they actually send it out. It's been a little bit over a week now so is something like this normal? The other thing that bothers me is the tracking number itself. According to the first link in Google, the tracking should end in "CN". My fiance gives me a tracking number of "ED172667851CW", which clearly doesn't end in CN. I've tried replacing the W with an N and still nothing. I've asked her to double check but she insists that is the tracking number. Am I missing something here or is it just not possible to track where the package is right now?

Welcome to the forum.

It took about ten (10) days for my then-fiancee to receive her, and her son's, passports (containing the affixed visas) from the Guangzhou consulate to her home in Liaoning province (an approximate distance as the crow flies of 1,200 miles).

YMMV.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

1. call DoS Hotline, ask for status, daily.

2. when DoS Hotline says 'Visa Packet Sent' for status, then shift over to EMS tracking.

3. allow 2 days for slush with EMS pickup to EMS 'in the tracking system'.

4. usually have EMS tracking info when package is ready to be delivered.

4. CW vs CN - CN is out out of China, CW is for inside of China.
