Department of State Status

[Qiao - 108 days 0]

Our case was sent from the NVC on Aug 25. We are still waiting for our P3. When I call to inquire at the DOS, they use terms that I am unclear on. I have talked to other people that have gotten the same information, so I was hoping that someone knows what the terms means. Does anyone know what "loaded" and "open" status means after a case leaves the NVC???

Thanks in advance!

LOADED = NVC has sent an electronic copy of the petition to GUZ, but hardcopy petition information has NOT been entered by GUZ.

OPEN = This does not occur until AFTER GUZ signs by STAMP for the DHL package sent by the NVC. Within days to a few weeks after that, GUZ will enter information into the computer and the case is then considered to be "Open." The P3 is then mailed.
