American f2a immigrants need more time to receive p3 after paying $404.

404 is the visa fee, right? After receiving the money, the other party will send an email to the domestic applicants, asking you to prepare a series of notarized materials and fill out a very important personal data form 230, and then send it to them. After the approval, they will send your things directly to the Guangzhou Consulate, which will review them, including the background check, and then send you a cover letter. This period can generally be completed within 1 year. There will be one in about six months.
