help with non arrival of packet 4

[yabasta 0]

I need advice on the best thing to do.

I know my interview is July 10th in London but i have not received my packet 4 in the mail. I have emailed the embassy to say i have not got my packet 4 but of course they have not responded to me. I tried to book my medical in the hopes that my packet 4 would be along soon after but they told me i needed my packet 4. So what do i do?

Any ideas f the best thing to do?

thanks

This might be a good reason to call the 1.30 quid a minute line, dont have the number, but call em & ask them to send you out another pack, as it didnt arrive yet, you will need the letter to get you into the Embassy, call them, & good luck

WE didn't receive packet 4 either -- after total panic we turned up at the embassy and handled everything that was in it there, it wasn't a problem

Thanks Euro

I called the number. I got through to Glasgow. What? Glasgow? I explained to the very helpful Scottish lady the problem. I didn`t explain well enough though as i think she though i was asking about a tourist via or something. Anyway she then finally found me and said that she had no record of an interview date for me. So i was naturally confused. I explained that i had had both an email from the COnsular and that i had contacted the Department of state on the phone and been told of this. I explained that i could not book my medical because they said i needed the letter. She then said i would need to contact the Embassy. I told the lady that i thought this was the number for the embassy. She told me that it was a call centre in Glasgow that has no dealings with the Embassy. So she told me to email them. I said i had emailed them and had no reply. I am really pissed off with this now.

Anybody have any other ideas? I don`t really want to turn up in July havign not had a medical and with no letter saying hey it`s me. So any ideas? thanks

Whoever told you at the medical that you needed the letter lied to you...

All you need is a case number to go to the medical.... I booked my husband for his even before we sent packet 3 (look at my timeline), they asked me if I had an interview date and I said no, and she said that's not a problem, she then asked me when I wanted the appointment for, so I said when is the nest available date, and she told me, and I could even choose the time!

If I was you, I would call the doctor's again and try to book the appointment.

When did you email the Embassy? Best is to wait for their response, I found that the DISinformation line was just a very expensive JOKE... I have read that they are taking their time in responding, think is their busiest time..

Good luck...

Hi...

Call DOS...202.663.1225 Tell them what's happened, and they can contact LND to perhaps get another one sent out.

I wrote you regarding the medical on another post...but, all you need is your case number and they will book it. They did it for my hubby 2 weeks ago, and he had his on Wednesday. We didn't have an interview date when we booked it. All we had was a case #

Call central booking and they'll set it up.

The person who anmswered the phone in Knightsbridge told me that i could nto book my medicla so i pretty much have to go by what they tell me. The Glasgow call centre was a joke as she didn`t even have a record of my interview date.

I emailed London some time ago now. I have emailed them before so i know they are slack as hell. I just would have expected a response by now. I think i will call the actual Embassy on Monday morning and hope that London number doesn`t divert to an Iraqi call centre or whatever else is next in this messed up system.

Thanks for your advice. I will call the medical centre again on Monday.

I swear the medical centre in Knightsbridge told me that i could not book a medical with them without my letter from the embassy. I am not lying.

She didn't mean you were lying...she meant the person at Knightsbridge-LOL

They gave you misinformation, which sucks...but call again, and do not accept a negative answer. Speak with the office manager if you have to. So many ppl have done this before getting the packets. Give 'em a phone again on monday and book you're appt.

O.K. i will thanks. I am just really stressed out and pissed off. It is getting close and i am worried i won`t have my letter or my medical by the 10th and i just spent a few quid to call a woman in Soctland who knows nothing. She was very helpful but she couldn`t help. :-s

Thanks to VJ for your help everybody. W eneed to get the best people from VJ working for the state and then the state will be like a super efficient helpful system, well maybe.

I have an appointment with the community nurse on Monday so i have the day off. I don`t suppose anybody can guide me to the vaccinations i need? I can`t find them anywhere. I know somebody posted them aswell.

They said they mailed it on the 14th. I emailed them after about 4 or 5 days and have not had a response, not even the standard we will reply one day response.
