I called NVC last night, and they said they received our application from CSC on March 5th, and sent it to Vancouver on March 7th! Finally, things are happening! :dance:

They had no problem with talking to me, even though I'm the beneficiary.

Now I can start checking my mailbox everyday for Packet 3...

Wow, that's fast. I wonder if mine went that fast too. I haven't been able to call since the 6th because you can only get through pretty late at night, and I'm usually on the phone with my fiance until I'm ready to drop. They send the USC a letter telling you they've sent it to the consulate, but I live in the middle of the cornfields, so I bet anything my petition will reach Vancouver before that letter reaches me! Oh well--that petition getting to Vancouver is what counts anyway!

Congratulations on being in the home stretch, Meridien! :dance::dance::dance:

Okay, I am pretty sure ours is at the consulate now. I got the letter from NVC today. It was dated Monday and said they would send it to Vancouver "sometime in the next week." I just did the DHL tracking thing, and there was one that went the 11th and got there the 13th and another that went the 12th and got there today. I'm pretty sure one of them was ours. Looking at the volume of packages shipped (over 50 each day!) I don't think they sit there waiting to be shipped for very long, plus the postmark on my letter was March 11, so it probably was that one.

I called NVC to see if by chance they had my packet already, but since I didn't have a letter with instructions on it, the dude was kind of hostile to me. :unsure:

There aren't really any instructions on the hard copy of the NOA2. All it tells you that isn't in the email version is that you will get a notice from NVC when they've finished. Well, it does tell you to call NVC if you don't get that letter within a month and give the number. They are also usually not rude, so I think you will have better luck the next time you call. The only information you need to give them is the beneficiary's name and birthdate and the receipt number you got from CSC (which IS on the email NOA2). You might need to give both names and birth dates, I can't remember.

I would try again in a few days (it isn't going to be there this soon from California--it will take closer to a week) and just say you wanted to see if they'd received your petition. You can ask them for their case number and when they got it too. Most of them are pretty polite. I think only one other person said they seemed a little tiffed that he called before it was there.

Good luck and congrats on the NOA2!

Thanks Songbird.

Yeah, I told the guy I was just trying to see if they had gotten it, and he was all gruff. He said "Well I can't help you unless I know what your instructions are on the letter."

I guess since our CIS receipt number was not in the system, I can assume that it had not arrived.

I know that CSC to NVC is bound to take about a week, but I was hoping it would be faster LOL :D

Applewow, go to DHL's website, click on "track by reference" (if you put the cursor over "track", you will get a menu with "track by reference" as a choice). Then try putting in EXP 13 MAR 2008A. If you don't see a package that went from Portsmouth, NH, to Tashkent, try it again with dates before or after. This only tells you if they sent ANY petition to Tashkent around the time they should have sent yours, though; it does not tell you which package is yours. If there aren't that many that have been sent, you can kind of estimate though. Looking at the volume of packages shipped each day, I don't think they sit around very long at NVC waiting to be shipped.

Apple,

Your petition arrives at the embassy anywhere from 1-4 business days after it is sent.

But you have to read between the lines of what they tell you. When they say "receive", they don't mean when it was delivered to them. In their language, received means "the day somebody gets off their lazy a*s to actually process it and puts together packet III for you". :devil:

Luckily, our embassy "received" our petition only 24 hours after it was delivered to them.
