Received case?

[jkminney 30]

I spoke with a rep at NVC today and she advised that the case had been sent to London on 12/29 and she provided me with my case number. I've tried to figure out the DHL tracking but it's stating that there isnt anything with that date. How can I find out if our has in fact been received by the London Embassy or if it has been entered on their system? I am trying to stay on top of this but I'm not quite sure where to go from here. Any info would be appreciated! Thank you!

Have your case number handy, and call the Dept of State at (202)663-1225. Press 1 then 0 to get a live person. Tell them you are calling to get a status update on your visa filing. They will ask you a few questions and then tell you what the status of your case is.

Because your case was just recently been sent from the NVC, they will probably say the embassy has not received the case yet, even if they have it physically there, but the embassy hasn't officially logged it in. There is normally a couple day lag time after receipt of the packet for the embassy staff to log your paperwork in.

You can call back a week or two after that to see if Packet 3 has been sent. When they say P3 has been sent, even if it's not been received by you, you can go to the London Embassy website, download the forms, then ship them all into the embassy.

Don't wait for the letter. Ours never arrived.

Here's the website page you need to look @: http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/iv/iv_15.html

Good luck! Almost done!

Thanks for the information. It's funny you wait and wait for the NOA2 then suddenly I thought maybe now that we've received it I should be doing something else!

Yes you go from waiting for the NOA2 to waiting for packet 3. Unfortunately in all the dealings you will have with US immigration over the next few years or so 90% of the time is just waiting.
