Question for Saylin or Darnel or another guru perhaps!

So our package was supposedly sent to the embassy on Friday Feb 15th but we have not been able to track it or find it on DHL at all.

We tried contacting the NVC and they had no useful information other then wait 2 weeks for a package they shipped via 3 day shipment to arrive at the embassy, which would just essentially be wasting time.

All the other packages that were shipped the same day, and we can find tracking info for, have been delivered and signed for so what the hell is up with ours?

My question to you is:

What can we do to get info? NVC won't give us the tracking info, the embassy says they haven't received anything and none of them have replied to any emails either.

Any advice please!!!

Very frustrating.....

Thank you for your time!

Thank you for your time!

Hmm, I tried finding it on the DHL site, but got nothing to Argentina.

With how many NVC operators have you gotten the Feb 15 date from? With how many DOS operators have you gotten the Feb 15 date from?

Contacting the embassy is pointless if the case hasn't been sent (or hasn't arrived). Right now, focus on NVC and DOS.

Every operator from the NVC has specified the same date, Feb. 15th. I will call again and have it validated again today.

I have not contacted the DOS since my package left USCIS.

We got our approval on the 6th, interview scheduled on the 11th, and I will be confirming that they shipped it out on the 15th.

That's the timeline currently.

I suggest calling up DOS and seeing what they say. They'll also be the ones that can tell you if the package has made it to the embassy (as NVC won't know).

Just to make sure, dumb question alert, DOS is USCIS right?

No, USCIS is USCIS, NVC is NVC, and DOS is DOS. They're all separate.

Called DOS and they confirmed that they package was shipped out on the 15th and they informed me that the embassy has not yet received it.

Guess all I can do at this point is call them again tomorrow....

This sucks. With so many packages getting sent to wrong embassies it freaks me out!

Well, at least they confirmed it was sent out the 15th, along with many other operators.

I would suggest calling DOS up next week and seeing if your package has arrived at the embassy, and call like every other day afterwards until it's arrived. Don't bother with NVC anymore as the last they know of your package is that it was sent the 15th. They can't see anything after that. DOS can though. They'll see everything about your case while it's at NVC, on its way to the embassy, even the status of your application/visa after the interview.
