I just cant TAKE iT !!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr

We were in a similar situation with Casa two years ago. I ended up getting a Senator involved and the consulate miraculously sent the packet. I know how frustrating what you are going through can be. We didn't know what the heck to do either because Casa would only reply with a fricken attachment to an email (never a real answer). It seemed as if the Earth (and the pile our petition was in) moved by the power of the Senator.

I wish you the best and all the patience in the world in deal with these NA consulates.

Deema......I feel for you.......believe me.....this whole process is driving me nuts too.

Make sure when you email them that you put the case # in the subject line or they won't reply.

Also, is it possible for your husband to go to the embassy and request the packet 3 documents just as those who are filing in egypt do.....if he lives on the outskirts of Cairo it might be a trip but it might be worth it.

Well he lives in Alex.. so it's a good 2 hours plus trip.. When we first got Married.. One of the guys actually gave me a packet 3 booklet - I think to just shut me up.. We have all the Info.. and i jumped the gun When the NVC told me it stated it was Mailed.. and I told Mohamed to go ahead and get his physical and the police documents.. SO we have everything.. But I am Assuming I cant just mail it in right????

Why can't you just send it back if you have all the documents and they said that they have a file opened for him?

Did you ever email the consulate with your case # in the subject line and ask them whether or not you can send in all of the documents since you have never received a packet 3 this long after a file was opened......whenever I've sent an email with the case # in the subject line, I 've gotten a reply.

If he filled out the DS156 & 157 and you sent him the I134 with the proof of support documents and he has all of his documents (birth certificate, police cert., military cert., marriage cert., etc.) and he did the medical already......check with the embassy and see if you can send in your stuff cuz......believe me.......the wait time for an interview is long and you don't want to waste any time unnecessarily.....

ask.....what do you have to lose?

You dont have to tell me twice... I just mailed it.. This is what i wrote - And the Title to the message was "Regarding Case - CRO********"

Dear Sir or Madame,

We have Not received the Packet 3 yet. I was wondering.. My husband and I already have all the papers put together. Can we just mail them to you? We have the DS-157, DS-156, I-134 financial information, all his police, military and birth certificates. Last week Mohamed did the physical & x- ray.

As to prevent any further delay, May we please mail you the information with out actually receiving the Packet 3?

Thank you for you time,

D and Mohamed

Case # CRO200753***

I have been through this before myself. if you look at my timeline on here you can see that this happened to me and my fiance too. They lost his packet 3 in the mail they stated that his address was wrong. We wiated 2 months to get packet 3 . Finally after emailing them and they updated his correct address we got it. Also calling them is a waiste they only will respond to emails. The Embassy had told me that once they mailed packet 3 for the second time if he didn't get it then he could go to the Cairo Embassy and pick one up there from one of the security guards. As far as downloading the packet i was going to do that do i was told by the Embassy that i couldn't I would have to wiat until they sent it to him. But that what happens with Cairo they are very unorganized. I hope i helped.

I hope they reply to your email quickly. Dealing with this embassy is just so frustrating, but try to keep calm and keep it in perspective that it will get worked out and you will get the packet.........eventually!!! I know I have reached my frustration point and meltdown with this part of the process dealing with the embassy. There is virtually no communication with them except by email. Even when I was visiting in Feb we tried to see someone about the status of Sam's visa and no luck at all, just the run around from everybody we talked to.

Hope they will let you go ahead and send in the way you have it, but dealing with Cairo you never know.

Dee, I would not advise that you jump the gun on this. I would wait until your husband gets his packet 3. You really don't want to be messing with Cairo.

[Together4ever 1]

To be honest, I agree with Moody on this. Not only do they not like to be pushed, but stepping outside of standard operating procedures (whether competent or not) is leaving you wide open for confusion, lost documents, etc.

They said the SAME thing about his address.. I Just dont see how that is Possible.. But Whatever..

And you guys are right.. Knowing how the Embassy Operates.. It is better to be Safe than sorry..

We will just have to wait... I just wish they would respond.. OR even better Freaking mail the PACKET 3 !!
