Hi,

I'm sure only few of friends on VJ is going through the Seoul Embassy, I have to say when things arrive in Korea they sure more quickly. I called the embassy twice from the date our NVC packet was mailed-- the customer service representative have 2 sets of computer informations. Once NVC sends a file, they automatically receives a notice of which file is coming. Although your packet has not yet arrived at the embassy they will tell you approximately when the file will arrive. I called last week, the customer service rep told me it should arrive sometimes next week. So, I called yesterday and sure she found our case. She told me, oh its right here we receive it. But we haven't opened it . She did tell me that they do not mail any packet 3's; therefore, i should provide her with my fiance's email address. Which I did, I gave her 2 in case one didn't go through. She told me ok I send the packet # latest by tomorrow afternoon. Her attitude was I would say 100 times better than people at NVC and USCIS.

Anyhow I wanted to update all of the korean petitioner on VJ... do take advantage of their customer service representative line..... dial between the hours of 2-3:30PM Korea Time, For me, it was 10:00 PM -11:30 PM (PST). The number is 011-8223974114 (this is how you dial directly) Ask for Immigration Visa, and girl will transfer you into another automated system, press 2 for english... and listen for the instructions. In the end press 9 to speak to customer service representative. Its kind of a long automated system, but its worth the wait!

Anyhow, if any friends on VJ has any questions, please let me know.
