I TOLD YOU GUYS THE NO TOUCHES NO APPROVALS THREAD WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jenn, I will PM you.

[Y's_habibitk 2]

the package was delivered to Amman on the 3rd (to the dhl site)..but not to the consulate until just now!

once in JO, it took two days to get to the embassy. it's been signed for. I the dhl website, I just got a "delivery confirmed" email. (has to be our package) heh

That explains why they said they didnt have it this morning.

CONGRATS GS.... you have been soooooo wonderful to me throughout all of this. I am happy for you !

Jen, I am still here anytime . No way will I disappear now that I am approved. We will maintain the same thread all together. I have a really good feeling u will be next. You guys were my support throughout this whole thing, so of course it wouldn't be right to walk out on you. Your case is with an abjudicator. I agree with Lisa, that would be extremely hard on those of you still waiting. Anyone who says otherwise would be lying!

So don't worry we won't abandon you

Jen - This day is not over yet!!!! I am hopeful

This group is like the Forces!!! We believe in no Man/ Woman left behind. You can count on us

AAAW, sarita,

u r so sweeet...right now ome and Jenn are the one left behind, tehres still time left for the day to end, lets see what happends!!!

Jenn,

we still sitting in the waiting area...grab a magazine or two or we can chit chat some more until they call on us!!!

soon I hope!!!!

I can't help it sorry guys.... but I'n happy for you!!!

And Mayra I have a feeling ur time is close cz u have the same timelime. Keep bugging ur senator. BY the way did u put in an expedite? I have a feeling the expedite maybe indirectly had something to do with it, maybe they went to look at the file and realized oh boy these guys are out of date range and move us along?? I don't know, just a guess....

I will be with u guys every step of the way and will be watching for your approval. I can imagine how you feel after the lucky streak we just had this morning. Hope u r next!! FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED FOR YOU BOTH AND OTHERS WAITING LIKE ARUBA WOULD SAY.

Where is Aruba btw, I still want her to break out those big smileys but I'll hold off until the entire group is approved!

(((((((((((((((JEN AND MAYRA)))))))))))))))))))

Hope u two get ur milagro soon. Karma stars for my ladies

P.S. I have to run out. Will check back with u tonite and hope there's more good news on the horizon!

Great news Lisa! DHL is about the only company that can safely get things into Jordan, and even they can only control (i.e. bribe) Customs so much. When I worked in our Int'l. CS Dept., I saw packages seem to disappear in a black hole there. Usually they reappeared, but sometimes it could take weeks.

VSC Approves & Send It TO EMBASSY CARACAS

The format to use is "EXP 07 OCT 2008A" don't forget the spaces...and to set the date range on the tracking page. The website for tracking is. http://track.dhl-usa.com/TrackByRef.asp?nav=TrackByRef The package may not go out on the next day, but the reference code will still be for that date. When your package is able to be tracked, it will make more sense. You'll see a list of packages going to different embassies. You'll know which one is yours.

Embassy receives the package.

If your spouse hasn't had their medical, now is the time.

Spouse interviews, turns in medical, hands in passport.

Passport is returned.

DO NOT OPEN MEDICAL OR ANY PAPERWORK FROM EMBASSY AFTER DONE THEY ARE TO BE OPENED AT PORT OF ENTERY!!!!

I-129-F At VSC:

√VSC gives I-129-F Case number

√I129F is immediately sent to the respective consulate after assigning a case #

√If you were also approved to apply for a K-3 visa (otherwise skip).

√If (again big IF) you had simultaneously petitioned to apply for a K-3 visa (by sending in an I-129f) then you may be able to allow that process to continue in order to get an interview date at the consulate before your case is approved at NVC. This requires luck and timing.

√USCIS will send your approved I-129f to NVC.

√NVC will "touch" the I-129f long enough to give it a case number and pass it on to the embassy.

√NVC Mailed K-3 to Caracas Embassy

K-3 Reached Embassy

The embassy will notify the beneficiary of the next steps, and give them the case number assigned by NVC.

√VSC Sends Package to EMBASSY

Embassy Sends Packet 3:

The embassy will tell the beneficiary how and where to setup the medical exam.

The beneficiary can then send in another copy of the DS-230 (just the signed pt.1, no other documents).

The beneficiary can schedule a medical exam.

The beneficiary can request an interview date, far enough in advance that their CR-1/IR-1 Visa case will be completed at NVC.

Once NVC completes the case, the beneficiary should NOT contact the embassy/consulate to request that they change the already scheduled K-3 interview for a CR-1/IR-1.

Instead, contact a supervisor at NVC, and request that your completed package be expeditiously sent to the embassy/consulate. This strategy is not guaranteed, It will vary by embassy.

Technically, if you have a CR-1/IR-1 that's ready, the embassy/consulate can not issue or schedule you for a K-3. They also can not schedule a CR-1/IR-1 interview...only NVC can.

NOT SURE WHEN THE PROOF OF MARRIAGE WILL BE SEND TO VSC, BUT FOR EMBASSY NO DOCUMENT IS SEDN TO EMBASSY BUT CARRIED WITH YOU, BOTH ORRIGINALS & COPIES SO THEY CAN KEEP A COPY
