This review is written from the perspective of the petitioner and will hopefully be helpful for other petitioners planning to go to Guangzhou. Even though I would not be able to attend the K1 visa interview with my fiancee, I wanted to provide support as well as get a chance to explore the city with her. We also wanted to go to Hong Kong, but decided not to go due to the protests.
Signing up on the ustraveldocs website for the interview was easy. We just had to wait for the date and time we wanted to have the interview on become available for booking. Usually there were two choices for times slots each day (8:15 and 9:20am). We chose the 8:15 time slot.
Guangzhou was easy to get around by subway. If your fiancee has the Baidu map app, it's also easy to navigate by bus. The consulate is located at the B1 exit of the Zhujiang New Town metro station on Line 3. We stayed at the Jianguo Hotel near the East Railway metro station which took about 20 minutes to ge... read complete review

My fiancée waited at the consulate for about 2.5 hours before being interviewed. The interview wasn’t too long, only lasted roughly 10 minutes. There were actually 2 interviews: a small pre-interview from the staff collecting required documents from my fiancée, an interview from the consular officer. The staff there asked for pre-2013 W-2 Forms, but my fiancée didn’t have them. Never the less, no RFE was required. I think this was due to my sufficient income (several times the 125% poverty guideline). The interview went well and my fiancée was approved.
Pre-interview questions:
Do you only have the W-2 Form from 2013?
Who is your petitioner? Is he your fiancé?
Have you been to any foreign country?
Interview questions from the consular officer:
Who is your petitioner?
How did you know each other?
When were you engaged?
Does he have any sibling?
Does he have a job?
Have you be... read complete review

Arrived 2 nights before. Stayed in hotel in Guangzhou East station as planned to go to Hong Kong afterwards. Checked out how to get to the consulate the night before, then walked around the area a bit.
Had 9:20 appointment. Got in line about 10 min before. Around 920 they opened the doors and checked ID. Took her about 10 more min to get inside.
I told her I would wait for her in Starbucks across the street. There is another one on the same side of the road, for those who want to wait indoors, about two blocks behind the consulate. Pacific Coffee.
Anyways, decided to join most people, and sit on small stone wall in front of Consulate and wait instead, watching every time the exit door opened, dodging people who want to practice their English with me, the sun, and all the smokers.
There are ladies out there as well who give out fliers to those leaving. At first I was weary of them, but they ended up being quite nice, and ... read complete review

Line was really long, I waited in line for over 1 hour. Make sure to bring certified copies of birth certificate and the police stuff, they did tear the cover of these documents and take the rest, I never got them back.
Overall, people were very friendly there including the local staff members. Only bring your paperwork with you, do not bring cell phones or any electronics. They don't allow any electronic devices and don't have lockers to store your stuff.
