Getting very worried

[Housni&Marie 7]

I called DOS earlier this month and learned from them that my fiance's interview has been scheduled for November 7 and according to them packet 3 was mailed out on September 24. My fiance still has not received packet 3. We have emailed the Consulate in Casablanca about this, and received and automated reply to wait 10 days for a response due to the heavy load of email inquiries, and not to email again before we get a reply. It is past the 10 days and still no response from them. We have tried several times calling the number listed for questions, which is only available from 3:00 - 4:00 pm weekdays, and have not been able to get through. Both he and I tried calling the main number for the Visa Office, and I was told to call the number we have not been able to get through to, and he was told simply to send an email and hung up on. I don't know what to do at this point. I know we can download all the forms we need from the website, but he needs the appointment letter for his medical and to get into the Consulate. Even if they mail out another packet now, I am afraid he won't get this in time, or not get it at all again. We will try to send another email, but as long as it takes them to respond, I don't know what good it will do. We are running out of time and I don't know what to do. Does anybody have any suggestions what we can do to actually get an answer from the Consulate and to get the appointment letter in time for him to do his medical and go to his interview?

Thanks for your help.

Do you know what is in Packet 3? For Mexico, "Packet 3" was just the interview invitation letter that said they were ready for us to go ahead and schedule an interview. If it's the same with your consulate then you're not missing anything as the interview is already scheduled.

For Morocco, packet 3 has all the forms he need to fill out and take with him to his interview, instructions about the medical, (all of which we can get online), but most importantly, it contains his appointment letter, stating the date of his interview. In Morocco, the Consulate schedules the interview and then sends out the packet with the appointment letter. The only reason I even know when his appointment is, is because I called DOS.

(I guess it is actually like packet 3 & 4 together.)

You can look many of the forms up online and he can start to fill them out now. I did that with my fiance before he actually received his packet. Also, your fiance needs to complete his medical exam before he goes... has he done this?

Yes, as I said I know we can get all the forms online. This is not a problem. And no, he has not done his medical, because from what I understand he needs the appointment letter for this. Or am I misinformed about this?

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your situation, that's really sad.. I hope you can get it sorted!

I'm not sure what to suggest, perhaps your US Fiance(e) could contact the NVC from her end and see if anything could happen?

Good Luck

You do need the interview letter for the medical exam to be completed. The visa forms are online and you can fill them out and scan them in pdf format and email them to him, I did that and they accepted the forms. I would recommend he goes to the embassy with the email trail from NVC stating they sent it to the consulate and wait in line outside and talk to someone at the window to see if he can get the letter from them he will have to insist he needs it for the medical exam. It beats waiting on them to mail it to him, mail service in Morocco is very bad. I would call now and set the appointment with the doctor just to get on the schedule atleast 5 days before the interview. Dr Alan (Alain) gives you the results the same day. He needs a copy of the interview letter and any pictures (3) of himself.

He will need his birth certificate, court report, police report (originals) and all translated into English there is a translator in Rabat that also does this is one day. Oh and two passport pics US size the photo places know the required size.

Bring conversations with any additional pictures.

I got the interview letter in April via email and the hardcopy got to my husband's house three weeks after the interview.

Good luck, i know it can be stressful.

Hi there.

Did they email him and you something? I ask because my husband and I received an email for our interview. The interview letter was this email with an attachment. The attachment had a list of everything that my husband would need for his interview. I am not sure whether this is different because we are doing a CR-1 but, I would imagine they had to notify you some way. If it was via email, and there was an attachment than that is his letter of appointment. We were told nothing would come by mail. Perhaps, just a suggestion but maybe you can call the NVC and see if someone there can intervene for you. I know people will say no they won't help but, hey it is worth a shot. Wishing you all the best of luck and lots of prayers.

No, we did not get an email from them about the interview. Last we heard from the consulate was 9/7, when we received a reply to our email asking if they had received our case from NVC. They replied they had received it and would be mailing the packet of information and appointment letter. Six weeks later we are still waiting for the packet.

Thank you so much for your good wishes, and good luck on your husband's upcoming interview!

Thanks, we will do that. I just hope they read the email before his interview, since they seem to be so slow with replying to emails!

Thank you. My fiance will download all the forms and fill them out. He has everything else ready to go. Just waiting for the interview letter. We will email them requesting that they email it to him, and I will tell him to go ahead and schedule his medical. If he does not receive the letter by email by the time of the medical, I guess he will have to go to the consulate like you suggest and try to get it from them. Thanks again!

Housne& Marie... I only want to say: worrying isn't going to solve anything to do with the perceived problem, so.... STOP IT!

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

According to Kiev our packet three was mailed on or around June 3, 2008

Alla has applied for citizenship and packet 3 has yet to arrive at our flat in Donetsk. Fortunately there is nothing in packet 3 you cannot download from the consulate website in the next 3 minutes.

Go to the website, find the instructions for the visa you are applying for, download the needed forms and instructions. VOILA! You have packet 3!

Thanks, we will do that. I just hope they read the email before his interview, since they seem to be so slow with replying to emails!

Do you know when your appointment is? That is all you need. We never received the appointment letter either.

Have USC make contact at DOS for replacement, all other suggestions valid and helpful. Good Luck.
