It has been almost three weeks since we received our LOA. In these three weeks, we have done a lot more paper work and waiting. First, on the day we received receive the LOA, we submitted the I-800 to USCIS. After that, we filled out visa form DS-230 and sent it to our agency, which then forwarded it to the Guangzhou Consulate. Next, the I-800 was approved and forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) in New Hampshire. NVC transferred the file electronically to the US Consulate in Guangzhou on February 26. My agency has called the consulate twice already and they still haven’t registered our file. My agency will keep calling the consulate daily until they do so.
