Aya,

I would totally take sharifah up on her generous offer. Its probably the most stress free one. No hassles with the consulate/DHL no wondering about red flags.....

I'm seriously considering Shrifah's kind offer, Lisa.. Thank you for your advice xxx (F)

Hi Aya....I'm also here in Egypt waiting on packet 3....from what i know about DHL delivery here in Egypt, if the packet is in your name, you have to be there to sign for it....DHL ask for ID before the let u have the packet...so if the persons whose name is on the packet is not there they will not release the packet.

I think u should try to have it held....thats what I'm doing because i changed addresses and i don't want the packet to get lost...so DHL will hold and call me when it gets there.

Hope this helps. :)

I've emailed the embassy yesterday about the mailing address issue and still haven't got any reply yet... Do you ladies know how I can change the mailing address? Do I need to send them a letter? How long will it take them to respond? Oh, do we need inform USCIS and/or NVC too?

I'm planning on doing it today inshaAllah...

Raina4gy, where are you now in the process? Have you actually received packets from DHL yet?

My husband filed DCF for me in June, but the embassy was processing the petition as a F4 petition which bascially meant that they were not processing it at all b/c u have to wait for a visa number to become available in like 10 years or sometthing. Anyway...it took us like 2 months to find out what was going on AND to get them to process it correctly which gave us a new petition filed date of August 17th.....so i'm am still waiting for packet 3 b/c the petition had to be sent to Athens for Adam Walsh check and is now SLOWLY on its way back to cairo via Dipolmatic Pouch. :blink: .

So thats my long convoluted story.

I changed Yazied's while it was still at NVC, just by calling them. ok, I just realized that I still have our case #'s and NVC's phone on a sticky note under my keyboard at work :lol: 1 603 334 0700. Anyway, They did it while I was on the phone... and then I emailed the consulate just to make sure they got the changed address when they received it from NVC. DO let NVC know, then by the time the consulate gets it, it will already have the preferred address.

Jackie--- that RULES! 99 days :dancing:

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!
