If you are in Guangdong province, you should receive your passport and visa in about three days.
==========================================================================
I also went to Guangzhou on the 26th to sign a student visa. Finally, the visa officer left his passport, DS 160 and the express bill.
He didn't send me a clockwork or anything (my friend signed it in Beijing and said he would give me a note when it was over)
Then ask the visa officer before leaving: then I can go?
The visa officer said yes, so I think there are no cops in Guangzhou now. The visa officer said it was passed.
Then I received my passport and visa on the 29th.
Good luck ~
