Tip for those tracking CR-1 files from NVC to Consulate

[SankuNiku 0]

Hey Everyone,

I hope that many of you scheduled by NVC for March CR-1 interviews know that your cases have been sent. You might be having a hard time finding shipments on the DHL website sent yesterday. If we use the traditional method of "EXP XX YYY 2009A" to look for shipments through Reference numbers, you may find that only 5 shipments were sent yesterday.

Here's what you need to do. Instead of EXP.... , enter "MAR 2009A" for reference number. You will see many shipments that were not seen through the previous method.

It looks like NVC sent the CR-1 case files for March as a huge shipment to each respective Consulate, and used a different reference number.

I was initially discouraged as the NVC told me the case was sent yesterday but I could not initially find the shipment and felt that they sent the shipment only today. I was finally able to find my shipment through this method and feel better.

Try it out. I hope it helps everyone track their sent cases better.

There is no definitive answer to both q's.

I just get the interview letter today, so for me it was about a week. I think most of the VJ'ers have been getting the letters today and yesterday.

As far as how long they hold the files, according the NVC operators and supervisors I've spoken to they have no real clue when files get sent, as its a different department that's in charge of handling the sending of cases. They only know if a file was sent after the fact. Our files were held about a week. I think last month the files were held for two days. So it all varies.
