Emails sent to Embassys

[Spudbites 0]

I was wondering if anyone knows if the emails that are sent to the Embassy, prior to and after filing are even read half the time. I have sent 5 and have yet to hear.... this happened before and after we applied DCF.... what gives? uggggg

I suppose every embassy is different but I never heard anything back when I emailed London.

In my case, they replied to my emails after 1 month that was last year

Lately, I noticed that they forward to DOS and DOS replies back to me.

I think its a one way communication, not very good though.

Pardon me BUT DOS is the Dept. of State right? Where is that at? I thought that the "Embassy was considered to be the "DOS"????

Man am I confused or what?

Oh well, the whole process is confusing enough.

D.O.S., yes, is the dept of state and it's in Washington.

Sorry to hear about your experience.

London has been very good with my emails - they've responded to every question I emailed them within a week or less.

That said, London has a complicated procedure with emails. You have to call the helpline (yes, the one that costs 1.20/minute ), speak to someone (you need to select the right option on the menu to speak to someone from the Immigrant Visas helpdesk), tell them your question and if they can't answer it on the spot (and most times they can't) they give you the "code of the week" which you need to put on the subject title of the email. Emails without this code are deleted without being read. That is if you have questions for the Immigrant Visa Unit (i.e. the second stage of DCF).

For questions to the USCIS Field Office you don't need a code as far as I know and you can email them directly, but I don't have experience as to whether they respond to emails or not and how quickly. I never had to email them.

It must depend on each Embassy and each Unit. Have you tried calling Venezuela? Do they have a helpdesk or similar?

I guess I have been a little "dense" when emailing.... I neglected to put his name and/or case number.... (and once, if I remember correctly I entered MY Name FGS) I am sure that they simply delete them and may think that it is simply a general question perhaps... I will be sure and do this when we send another email and that may help!
