RECALLED PETITION - UPDATE

[Mike n Huong 1]

Well it has been a while since I poted in this forum. I am not sure how many of you know about my situation, but I will give you all a briefing. As all of you, we were struck by IMBRA. The consulate sent us Packet 3 a week or so before they returned our file back to NVC. We didn't know this until my fiancee returned the necessary papers, and I emailed them to see if we were affected by IMBRA. They informed me that they returned our file to NVC. Well At the beginning of this month, my fiancee received packet 4 in the mail with her interview date, I was very suprised. I wasn't sure if they made a mistake or it was true. I had my fiancee call the consulate before flying there to make sure they didn't make a mistake and they told her yes you have an interview on August 14th. So she took a plane 10 days before the interview so she could get her medical done and ready for they interview. Well the big day came, and when she entered the consulate she was told that the consulate made a mistake and that she could not be interviewed until they receive our file back. I called NVC and was told it was send on the 10th. I tracked it with DHL and I knew they would receive it very soon if they haven't already. So I called the consulate and explained that we had to pay for a plane ticket, hotel, motorbike rental, and food for the last 10 days. I asked if she should stay there or return to her home, and was told to stay there if NVC said they sent it. Well after a week and a half of not knowing what to do, and contacting the consulate, they finally called her today and she has her interview on August 28, only 14 days later. This was a total mess. First the huge mistake by USCIS, and then this one by the Consulate. I am just releived she will have her interview finally.

Good Luck to everyone.

Mike, I'm glad to hear that they've rescheduled the interview! Best of luck! I hope that you soon post about an approval...

mike, that sounds very frustrating indeed - good luck at the interview next week. You're so close - that's so exciting!

People have mentioned being able to track things through DHL. How do you do that? Do you need a tracking number? I looked at their site and couldn't get anywhere...

thanks

Here are the instructions Mike's sent me:

"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."

Actually I was looking at the NVC forum section and came across the following information. There are three types of reference (Expedite NIV Section, Expedite IV Section, and Correspondence). When you use each of these, it will give you a totally different list of shipments. So you need to type in the correct reference depending on your Visa Type. Below is the list

There are several references used by NVC depending on the visa type.

1. Expedite NIV section - For all non immigrant visa

2. Expedite IV section - For all Immigrant visa

3. Correnspondace

Which one should we use?

Could a petition be in a CORRESPONDENCE type of mail?

I guess you should use 'correspondence' and Expedite IV section.

Someone in the NVC Forum said to use the Non-Immigrant. When I went to the consulates website it is listed under the Imigrant Visa section, and says it is technically a Non-Immigrant Visa, but requires the same paper work as the Immigrants, since they will become permanant residents. The best thing to do is call NVC and ask them is the K-1 sent out as a Non-Immigrant or Immigrant Visa. Then you know which one to use.

Not to make you feel down - I mean quite the opposite, actually - but there've been 3 approvals this week.

maybe it´s not the embassy´s fault afterall..

maybe it´s just taking longer for your petition to leave the NVC mailroom.

i think i might be in the same situation.

good luck!
