DHL shipment from NVC and delivery notification

[joeyjoey 1]

On the DHL site, I have found the shipment to the Consulate in Rio de Janeiro that contains our K-1 petition.

There is an option to "Get delivery notification". Is it OK if I enter my email address for notification? After all, I am not the person that shipped the package. But I do have a big interest in its arrival.

Has anyone done this before? I don't want to create some International incident!!

Not to worry! lol I did the same... and it only crossed my mind for a second.

Hmm... perhaps we both should be worrying. But I highly doubt that it will cause any problems.

I did it to get tracking notification, no problem there, it is just an automated system anyway, I got an email from DHL when the package arrived in Guangzhou, China.

One note: many consulates tend to receive the package, but may take some time before actually opening the box and entering "receive" the cases into their system.

DHL will say it is delivered but the consulate when asked will say that they have not "received" it yet.

Patience is a virtue, just be comfortable that DHL stated that is delivered.

True!

DHL informed me that the last package that left the NVC on the same day as mine(sep 27th), on their way to Rio, had been delivered on Oct 2nd. But it took the Consulate one month to consider my petition received.

Good luck!

I did a search on the timelines and it looks like the consulate in London processes received applications with 3-5 days; packet 3 seems to be received by the beneficiary within 7 days of the consulate receiving the application. I'm crossing my fingers in hope!

My case is in London according to DHL (if it is indeed mine), perhaps it'll be delivered tomorrow. This is a mix between nerve-wracking & exciting!!!
