EVERYTHING IS GOING SO FAST!

I got my NOA2 e-mail on February 29th. I called the VSC yesterday - they already had it and sent it to Barbados! Barbados got it today!

I found out I dont have to wait for Packet 3 .. apparently things tend to get lost in the mail in the Caribbean! This I know because I have never received sent letters from my Louis.

So if I am lucky he may have an interview soon after I go to St Lucia in 36 DAYS!! And be in Maine before too long, but lucky for him, after the snow melts!!

If all works well with the e-file I will be sure to let all know.

Also I have e-mailed Barbados 2 times and they have answered within 24 hours. Pretty good I must say!

I hope everyone is getting their NOA2s in record time!

Peace and Blessings to all.

Irie!!!

Congrats on the fast NVC movement!!! Putting together Packet 3 myself (and pulling hair out as well)...UK could be a little more explicit on their website...booked the medical (the day I arrive in London...to save the $ for another trip)...I guess going along well...

Hopefully, we'll be able to give some Packet 3 advice...

NOW, CSC AND VSC.....GET TO WORK APPROVING EVERYBODY IN LINE!!!

Please do Dawn. With Kris having to go through London i'm so out of sorts on it all its scary. I'm terrified to mail original divorce decrees but it seems like it's needed and well.. it's daunting LOL. Thankfully I have nearly everything together that's needed.

Hey everyone..

So we manufactured our own packet 3 from the Germany Embassy website.....We sent it on Monday to his parents, and they'll confirm our case number in the packet, and double check we included everything and send it on to the embassy!

It looks like Germany schedules interviews about 1 month after you return packet 3.... Our case is on it's way to the embassy! If all goes well, we will be getting married Memorial Day Weekend!

That's exactly what I plan to do in Kiev - someone else did this same thing and called the embassy when they believed that the packet had been received there. The first call they said they were working on it. The second call the person slipped in to an interview slot only one week later - so there's a chance that your process will be even faster than you think. Best of Luck to you, I'll be watching to see how it all turns out.

And So It Begins......

I have just done the same thing also. Mail is not reliable at all in the caribbean. We just filled out the papers and he is off to DHL to mail to Barbados. What a pain in the butt! I feel like I need a degree in confusing paperwork to get it all done.

I will be going to see him next month and will bring the binder with everything he could possibly need. The only bad thing that could happen would be if he got the interview date before I arrive to St Lucia!! I am so glad I am flying down because I am afraid he would never get the package of stuff I would need to send him and then we would really be screwed!!!

Good luck to all!!

How long should my fiancee wait for her packet 3?

Ours was sent to the NVC on 2/26 and Darren got Packet 3 on 3/10...

I called NVC yesterday on their automated line and got the message that my case could not be found :help:

I was approved on 3/5 so surely NVC should have received it by now, right? Do I need to skip the automation and see if I can get ahold of a real person?

I think I read somewhere that since K1 cases don't stay very long at NVC, you can't track it by their automated system and that consequently, you have to talk to a real person.
