They switched our service center

Why not do a time line search for couples who filed around the same time as you, whose SO is from the same country as yours. There you will find an approximate time, not an actual timeline of sorts. It will give you some idea of how long it takes for petitions from THAT particular consulate are processed. Hope that made sense...I've not had any coffee today. I'm all out of Tim Horton's.

Welcome. You'll probably find a lot more China timelines at http://www.candleforlove.com as well as good China specific support. Please tell them I sent you. Not running you off at all.

You would be wise to ignore the USCIS posted processing times. They reflect the submission date of the oldest petition in the center of that type, still not adjudicated. Usually those have some sort of problem or are waiting for further information from the petitioner. They just use those tables to avoid answering phone calls about petitions that are processing normally.

Methinks you misquoted. I'm not the petitioner.

Yes, my post was meant to address the OP/Petitioner.

I tried to register at Candle for Love, but each time I try to validate the registration, using the User Number 4728 which Candle sent me, I get the message <We could not find any member matching the User ID that you entered. Please double check the URL, or the data you entered into the form. If the error persists, please contact a member of staff to assist you.> Clicking on the link to contact their staff produces an e-mail form addressed to ss@, which obviously is not going to go anywhere. Writing to ss@z-sh002.zipa.com gets me an Unknown User response from my postmaster.

Their registration system uses the terms User Name, User ID, User Number, Display Name, Password and Validation Key, which seems a bit complicated to me. Since the web-page structure of Candle and VisaJourney is very similar, I wrote to the VisaJourney administrators detailing this problem, and got an automated reply dated May 24 saying they would get right back to me. No reply yet. So for the last seven weeks I have been kept in the dark without a candle.
