RECALLED PETITION - UPDATE

[Mew 0]

My congressman's immigration specialist spoke to the congressional liaison today at VSC, and the liaison Nick (who was an overseas consular officer before) said they expect all recalled petitions to be returned to the consular posts before the end of August.

Wow, that's excellent news. So August should be a great, great month.

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just spoke with the friendly people at NVC, my petition arrived there today and it will also be sent on to the consulate today! So, basically it was 4 days from USCIS-NVC. The person on the line was very polite and helpful, as most people who work for our government should be.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

rlt, that probably means yours is also moving soon!

I spoke with NVC as well today and was told that our case was forwarded to the Embassy yesterday keeping with the 4 business days from USCIS - NVC - Sent to Embassy.

An automated recorded message system can answer many of these inquiries 24 hours a day, seven days a week (603 334-0700). Operators are available to respond to more difficult inquiries from 7:30 AM to 12:30 AM (EST) Monday through Friday. Status of case information and access to an operator can only be provided by entering your NVC case number or CIS receipt number on a touch-tone telephone. Case inquiries can also be made via email at NVCINQUIRY@state.gov. NVC only has information on petitions it has received.

I called the consulate to check on my petition and it's not there yet? So I called NVC again and it was sent on August 7th (I called to make sure I didn't misunderstand what the lady told me). A whole week and it's not reached Rio?

sigh...

Mew,

When I was first approved, back in April, it took the Consulate 7 days to get the petition.

It will be there this week.

It shouldn't take them long to send the petition to NVC. A week or so, tops.

Okay. I hate the DHL tracking thing. It refuses to let me see all the results, giving me an error. And I actually had to provide a shipment date range much broader than I should have because I don't see Rio de Janeiro, Brazil anywhere.

I wish I had never found out about it. It's one more thing for me to keep obsessively checking.

YAY for everyone!!!!!!

I am overjoyed to see that petitions are finally making their way back to the consulates!!!!!!!! WHOOPI

I can hardly wait till mine gets there already!

I think this week and the next will be the greatest one of all for most members here

Best of Luck and all my love to you guys

Aque

Mike, I hope you don't mind my posting the instructions you've sent me here.

GO to DHL Worlwide Express website

Select USA

A new page will open

At the top highlight tracking and click on TRACK BY REFERENCE

In the Reference field type CORRESPONDENCE

For the Shipment date you should select a day before and after the date NVC said they sent your file.

Customer number leave blank

Origin Postal code should be 03801

Then Click Track

This will give you a list of all packages sent from NVC to every consulate on the date you specified. You then find all shipments on the date NVC said your package was shipped, and it tells you where they were shipped to. SO you find the packages shipped to your embassy or consulte. Usually there are more than one going there. It will give you the status of the shipment, and when it arrived, who signed for it, and what time. You can only assume that one of them is yours.
