I dontr think I have seen this particular question before. But, what means of delivery do they sedn our packets to the appropriate Consulates? I know if i just send regualr mail to Shiyan, China, it takes from 3 to 4 weeks to arrive? I dont suppose the NVC sends it the fastest way possible?:-) thanks..todd

DHL, there are several posts here where people try to track packages going to their embassy country around the date it was sent by NVC.

NOA1 - 12/21/15

NOA2 - 04/18/16

NVC Receive - 04/29/16

NVC Welcome - 05/13/16

DS-261 - 05/14/16

AOS, IV PAID - 05/27/16

DS260 done - 06/10/16

Case Transferred to US Embassy in Riga Latvia at the end of October.

If you really want it, you'll find a way!

They go via DHL to Guangzhou but actually time can be a major factor for this embassy. They can sit in customs for months until the embassy decides to pick them up.

Todd,

I posted on this some tiime ago when I was frustrated that our package wasn't making it to the Embassy. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/316042-chinese-customs/ If you can get through my whining some folks posted useful information. Don't waste your time tracking it by DHL because packages leave there everyday and you have no way of knowing which one is yours.

The best advice I have been given on this site was to call DOS. They can give you the "time ticks" that tell you what's happening with your petition. If I had been doing that all along I could have saved a lot of time.
