How do I know when the US Embassy received my pack

[AJs Adventures 0]

Hi folks,

So I finally got everything filled in (pack 3) and completed, checked, checked and checked it again and sent it to the embassy. In everyone's experience, what is the next you'll hear? Is there a method to check that it was received and logged at the embassy or is it just a waiting game?

Thanks!

You can call DOS to check up on it. I did - they are able to tell you when packet 3 has been LOGGED not received - for example, we had signature confirmation, so we knew it got there on a certain date - but it wasn't logged for almost 3 weeks after the day it was signed for. So don't freak - I know it's hard! DOS can also tell you when your medical results have been logged and when you are marked "interview ready".

The number: 1-202-663-1225

Don't listen to the prompts, just type in: 1,4,2,3,2,0

Have your case number ready - they will need it.

I called from Skype as there were many times I waited 15-20 minutes on hold before speaking to a person (it all depends on the day you call) and have a limited amount of daytime minutes on my cell plan

So, in short, if you didn't get signature confirmation - there is no way to verify they *received* it until it's logged...I don't think - I could stand corrected
