problems calling DOS

[karenista 1]

Hi-- I have been calling DOS pretty regularly lately to try to find out if they have processed my fiance's packet 3 so we can get our interview date (London). However, since the Haiti crisis I have not been able to get through. Has anyone successfully contacted them over the past week? Any tips? Thanks!

It took me about 15 min waiting on the line to get through.

i got through to them on thursday, but it took about 10 min each time on hold around 10am EST. I spoke to a very rude lady named BJ first, and then after she gave me the info she THOUGHT i wanted, she hung up on me after yelling into the phone "MA'AM I CANNOT HELP YOU WITH ANYTHING ELSE!" she kept saying the computers are down before the conversation even started. Then I called back, another 10 min and spoke to Anna. She was nice and helpful and gave me all info I need. Dont let it get you down. Even my senator's office who is working on my case is swamped because of Haiti. Even the Islamabad embassy in Pakistan where are case is has been affected by this. So, its everywhere.

If they still have 1/haiti, 2/everything else as the initial menu, hit 3 right away for an operator. I kept getting a circle of busy-ness (not even connecting to an operator) until someone in October CSC mentioned getting through with a mishit someplace in the menu when they had the same problem.
