Instruction package from the US embassy in Afghanistan

[Deep in Love 0]

Please help and guide me. I do't know what else I can do?

I don't know what is going on? My petition has been forwarded to the US embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan about a month ago, but my fiancee or I have not heard anything. I emailed the embassy 3 weeks ago, after one week they replied back saying... my fiancee should have received a package of instruction from the NVC. I called the NVC and they told me that they have nothing to do with K1 visas. Anything we will be getting is from the embassy. I emailed back the embassy explaing what the NVC told me. IT has been a week and half and no reply back. I resent my second email twice now. I do't know what is going on. I hope someone will help me. I am going to post this message on the South Asia froum and hoping someone from that area will be willing to answer and add their experience with that particular embassy. God bless you all for helping me.

please to call the DoS Hotline (# in my profile, click the girls, study left panel)

then

ask for casefile status.

You are seeking/listening for 'casefile opened' timetick.

If they sent yer fiance a packet 3, you need to check the address that DoS has.

re: NVC - NVC can give you the Kabul casefile # - you'll need that when you call DoS Hotline.

if you have that casefile # already, email Kabul IV again, using the casefile # in the email, and inquire for casefile status.

I did. I got my case number from the NVC and I included my case number, petitioner's DOB and beneficiary's DOB along with the beneficiary's email address and phone numbers. I gave the NVC her email address when I called and recieved my case number. I don't know what to do now? When I called the NVC they said there is nothing they can do for the K1 visa it is all handle at the embassy level. I keep sending the embassy emails requesting information back. I am so surprised that the emabssy didn't know K1 is not handled at the NVC. I can't undrstand this. I will try to call tomorrow to DOS and find out what is going on?

yup yup .

DoS Hotline is yer buddy for the moment.

Please read Dodi's excellent post about using a telephone -

Dodi - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/264972-shortcuts-when-checking-for-updates-from-the-nvc-and-dos/

she's posted who to call, how to call,

and further down, I've posted what you can get, from which office, and when.

{do find my stuff in her post, la)

Good Luck !

(IMO, if Kabul is acting like a 'tardo, the casefile isn't opened yet - and fwiw - is rarely a USCitizen Consular Officer that responds to Consular IV emails)

Hello,

If You have provided correct email address and phone #'s they will contact you. Just wait sometimes they are very slow. Also once you have the email make appointment for your medical right away otherwise you will have re reschedule your interview the medical place is really busy. After interview it will take another 2 months or longer for the visa to be issued. So plan to wait for a while I am going through the same process right now.

Good Luck

I am so happy to see a reply from someone who is going through the same thing at the same country/embassy. Thanks for your post and help. Yes, I have given the embassy the correct email address and phone numbers. How long did it take for you before you recieved your instruction email or pacakge from the embassy? Could you also please tell me what they ask for in the instruction pakage? I want to be prepared. I want to know if they ask for the original docs. Also, I sent some of the necessary docs for my fiancee's for the interview, will they be picky about the date? You know how hard it is to sent thing to Afganistan, so Someone was going I sent those with. Please share any information you can so I have some idea and vision of what to expect. Thank you and good luck with your journey as well.

Hello,

Almost after a month you will receive a interview letter and will give you a month wait time before your interview. So that time is the best time to make your medical exam appointment. The embassy will give you instructions and what forms to bring on day of interview. They want original docs meaning the signature has to be original the date is not a problem. Good Luck ...
