Ok, this is sort of long and convoluted, but I'll press forward:

I've been having a minor freakout this week. I sent the I-864 a few weeks ago and the NVC received and processed it within a couple weeks. They sent me an RFE asking for an extra thing from my co-sponsor, which I acquired and sent straightaway. Between sending the I-864 and receiving the RFE, I sent the DS-230 by registered mail.

Now, the last two things I sent (DS-230 and the RFE info) seem to be in limbo. The tracking is showing that the NVC has received the DS-230, but it's been there since June 13 and they still hasn't been processed. They can't even say if they have it or not. I know they say it can take 20 days, but that seems longer than the norm right now doesn't it?

The people at AusPost say they can see that the RFE stuff has left Oz, but nothing about it being accepted in the US. Then she said that they're having a lot of trouble with stuff getting accepted in the US and have done so for the past few months, which definitely isn't something I've experienced with the other stuff I've posted.

Anyway, this is all a really long way to say: has anyone else had problems mailing stuff to the States? I'm just a bit concerned that a) the NVC has lost our DS-230 and b) Auspost has lost my other thing. Neither place will do any kind of inquiry for me because they say it hasn't been long enough, but both situations are taking a lot longer than they have in the past.

Hopefully this makes sense!

Ok. Thanks for that. I'm just getting a bit worried because the I-864 really didn't take long to finish and now the DS-230 is taking forever. I just wanted to see if anyone else from Australia's had problems with the mail, since my RFE still apparently hasn't even entered the US.

if auspost issued tracking #'s, you can see them (usually) over at www.usps.com

Thanks, Darnell. The people at Auspost actually told me that and I've been checking. I know the DS-230 was delivered on June 13, so I'm not quite sure why it's taking so long for them to process. And God knows where my RFE is. They said they can see it's left Australia but it hasn't been scanned in at LAX, so I don't know. All it included was one extra bit of tax info about our co-sponsor, so I may just have to send it again.

Our process has been really easy so far, so I guess some setbacks were inevitable.
