Hi, If you know NVC has received your file it would be best to wait 5 days to make sure it's in their system, then call NVC for your new case number. They kept ours 15 days before sending it to the em

I was playing with the DHL tracking thing to guesstimate when my package will be shipped to the embassy. I looked at the packages shipped in the whole December for ALL countries and I noticed that NVC shipped between 5 to 15 packages a day in December.

Now considering the huge volume of applications they deal with this can't be true!! Do they use other shipping services or what am I missing here?

Can anybody help me understand DHL?

I have a couple questions about it and was hoping somebody could help answer them.

1. What is our Shipping Reference for our package?

Our Case Complete from NVC came on Jan 6 (website's status changed, called and confirmed with representative)

We received the CC letter via e-mail on Jan 13

I've been checking the CEAC Status page to check for any changes.

Jan 12, the status was "At NVC"

On Jan 15 or Jan 16, I noticed the status changed to "In Transit"

I called NVC on Jan 16 and they told me it was sent out yesterday (which I take it to mean Jan 15).

I read the instructions on how to check the DHL website, and I came up with several possible Shipping References:

EXP 13 JAN 2015A

EXP 14 JAN 2015A

EXP 15 JAN 2015A

However, none of those have any packages according to DHL. I've actually tried a wider range, from Jan 10-15 and even A/B references, but nothing was found.

I tried going back a little further, and found some packages sent on Jan 6, 7, and 8, but that would be too close to our CC so I don't think those are our packages.

It looks like at least for China that the packages get picked up by DHL on Friday though, so I'm hoping it just hasn't been registered on their website yet.

2. Does the status on the DHL site indicate having passed Chinese Customs?

I didn't find my package yet, but I found one that left NVC on Jan 6.

Using Jan 6 as a reference, I found the following shipping reference: EXP 06 JAN 2015A

Here are the shipping details... I've never used the site before, but it looks like it shows that the package went through Chinese Customs, cleared customs, and then was delivered to the consulate. Is this right? If so, that package only waited < 1 week instead of the 2-6 months that can happen in some cases...

Here are the shipping details of that package:

For some silly reason, I didn't understand that Electronic Processing was an option for us. China is different from other countries when not doing EP. We don't get our interview scheduled by NVC. We have to wait for our papers to be sent to the Consulate in China and then they will schedule the interview at that time. China also has a treaty with the US to limit the inflow of official documents, so anything sent to the Consulate has to wait in Chinese Customs for an indeterminate period of time. There are reports about it taking 2-6 months (yikes!).

I'm so discouraged at this point... We waited through the NOA1-NOA2 wait, then waited through the NVC process... I thought this would be the final step and things would move quickly, but we are just met with more waiting...

We tried this also.a funny thing happened,we only saw one package sent out on that date. When I called the Nvc to ask again about our packet,they simply told us they had no info.I then told them I tracked it myself and told them the date it was recieved. They placed me on hold,then came back and told me that it had been recieved,but the date and package I thought was ours was not it. Our packet was about 4 days later than what I had tracked. Our packet was held in customs for 30 days. This caused all kinds of issues with our interview. When we called the embassy and the Nvc, they both told us to schedule an interview. When we showed up,they sent us home do to no documents. This delayed our interview 6 weeks. The embassy tells you to wait for an email,or letter,which we still have not recieved since Dec 8th.be careful with this in scheduling. We have an interview the 21st of January and we are hoping everything goes well. We have sent email requests to both the embassy and Nvc since November and have never gotten a response.

whats the dhl letter all about? did u say nvc sent ur case thru dhl to china US embassy? kt depends what are the countries the packet stops,in my case dhl stop over is hongkong goin to USA if i sent letter from Philippines:) it takes 4-5 office days,if you are the sender dhl will give u a waybill or tracking no. and the good thing is dhl alao asked the receivers' name when dhl delivered,,so just be at peace that ur packet reached its destination u can rely on dhl coz i have no bad experience on dhl,,, if docs lost like that im sure the received one to be blamed not dhl;)!
