China Post Delivery Of Approved Immigrant Visas Now Available To Applicants Throughout China

The Immigrant Visa Unit of the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou, China is pleased to announce that starting August 1st, 2011, approved immigrant visas will be mailed directly to the recipient's home address throughout China via China Post.  There will be a COD (cash on delivery) charge for this visa delivery service.  Please see instructions on how to complete the COD waybill and information regarding the cost of delivery and locations delivered to.

If you do not wish to have your passport and visa packet returned to you by COD waybill, it is your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements with China Post in Guangzhou and to notify the Consulate.  See more information on how to pick-up your visa.

Please note that all immigrant visa recipients must use the China Post system for return of the visas.

Additionally, the Consulate is also now able to mail approved visas directly to applicants whose applications have been approved after the original visa interview. Once such visa applications are approved after further processing/submission of required documents, a final processing letter will be sent to the applicant’s address. This letter will provide you instructions on the final steps you must take to complete your visa application.  It is very important that you follow the instructions in the final processing letter.  Generally, you must submit 1) a passport with at least 8 months validity for each applicant and 2) a properly completed EMS COD (cash on delivery) waybill containing your valid mailing address and phone number to the consulate for visa issuance and delivery.
