How long does it take for American immigrants to meet?

After receiving the file, Guangzhou Consulate will first review the file to ensure that the applicant's information is complete. If the materials are missing, the Guangzhou Consulate will send the beneficiary an explanatory package. After confirming that the materials are complete, the Guangzhou Consulate will arrange an interview for the applicant. The treatment time is about 2-4 months.

Take American relative immigrants as an example. If you submit an immigration application in the United States, the approved I- 130 will be sent directly to the National Visa Center (NVC) and then to the US Consulate General in Guangzhou. The time from the visa center to Guangzhou is about 3-4 months. However, due to the clearance procedures of China Customs, there will be some delays.

After receiving the application fee, the US National Visa Center will send the applicant a postal parcel (including the form DS-230 PDF) with immigration instructions. Please fill in the form according to the instructions and send it back to NVC together with the required materials. The faster the forms and related materials are submitted, the faster the application will be processed.

If the applicant's I- 130 is submitted in China, the immigration application will be sent directly to the Guangzhou Consulate instead of to NVC. Guangzhou Consulate will send an explanatory package to the beneficiary after receiving the documents.

After determining the interview date, the consulate will send an appointment package (also known as package No.4) to the applicant, explaining how to prepare the interview materials. Applicants need to go to the designated hospital for physical examination before the interview.
