My wife's visa arrived at the Citic Bank in Nanning today, so 13 days from the interview. For what it's worth, the CEAC site is stuck at "Printed", while UStravelDocs shows ready for pickup. USTravel

After it finally updated, how long did it take to show as available for pickup?

We interviewed on 10/7, but the only thing showing any updates is the CEAC website. There have been several of them, most recent as 10/15, but the status has always been "ready" to the best of my knowledge. When calling, emailing, or checking the ustraveldocs site, it's as if nothing has changed.

I hate this whole process, lol.

gogo - I suggest that our timeline after interview day wasn't normal, as we had to submit more stuff after the interview day. Hence the lag. MANY people get the visa packet within 2 weeks after interview day .

Chris - that's GREAT ! IMO - another week or so for the visa packet to get generated and slogged over to the mail room.

Darnell- Thanks for providing us with a detailed timeline, it's certainly helpful.

For anyone else who might get any benefit, my timeline from the interview until now:

  • 10/07 - Interviewed and passed
  • We saw several updates on the CEAC website, but always remained in 'ready' status
  • 10/15 - I filled out this this inquiry http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/immigrant-visa-unit-question.html
  • 10/17 - As of about an hour or two ago, the CEAC updated to administrative processing, which I thought was interesting because of their office hours
  • Still no status changes on ustraveldocs website or when I email passport@ustraveldocs.com with the passport number in the subject and body of the email

woo hoo ! CHRIS ! Call into the ustraveldocs Guangzhou help desk #.

Press 3 for English,

then something for Immigrant Visas

then something for schedule over the phone

when you get a human, ask where the passport is.

Bah - that didn't work for me - I never got stuff via email - always 'no info for the passport number'

Prolly a glitch on their side.

The lady told me it has been received from the consular section and is awaiting processing.

what does that mean? recieved by who? cgi stanley? would I be correct in assuming it should ship out in the next couple of business days?

The lady was very friendly, but her english was limited and she wasnt of much help explaining anything.... blink.pngwacko.pnghuh.png
