Auto response from the London Consulate

[LorriQ 0]

I had read somewhere on here that you get an "email deleted" auto response from the London Consular - just wanted to let everyone know that I received something different - I sent an inquiry regarding our status as the NVC said the Consular had all the paperwork/docs as of Aug 2, 2008 with no interview scheduled! YUCK! Of course no one will tell you anything over the phone - He called the embassy and paid nearly 18 pounds to find our that yes, we were eligible for an email code to inquire as they were generally taking 6 weeks from the rec't of said forms from NVC til interview. Here is what I got:

Your message has been received by the Consular Information Unit. We are

currently averaging three to four days to answer email correspondence.

There is no mechanism for "status checks" while a nonimmigrant visa

application is being processed. Inquiries concerning cases which

require administrative processing or background checks, and which have

been pending less than 60 days, will not be answered.

Please do not, under any circumstances, send a duplicate or follow-on

e-mail. Repeat messages slow down our response time, and we reserve the

right to permanently delete all e-mails from senders who transmit repeat

messages or status checks.

Sincerely,

Consular Information Unit

Now, if they will only reply!!!! Everyone else on our timeline is through the interview process - can you tell I'm green with envy!!!
