packet 3 received?

[beppyz 0]

My finace has sent off packet 3 to the Embassy in London. Will he get a notice from them letting him know they have received it? Or should he contact them to find out?

They do not let you know when they have received it. If he calls them it is not only very expensive but they never have any information anyway. I think the best thing to do is to email them to ask whether they have received it, but i would wait until at least a week after he sent in the forms...sometimes it takes a while to show up in the system. Did he not send it by registered post? if so then he can track it

It takes a while for them to get it from the mailroom into their system. I've looked at your timeline and with the holidays involved, I don't think you have anything to panic over just yet. But as Muuuuah says, the best way to communicate with them is via e-mail. At this point though you may only get the response that says they have no record of and that will just panic you.

You're right...an email saying no reacord of it will panic me. I don't think he sent it registered mail. When I email them is there a record locator (like from my noa2) that I should use to reference it, or will our names be enough?

Thanks for your help.

They have given him a number (believe it starts with LND). Use that in your email heading.

Hello Mate,

Was in exact same position, after about 4.5 weeks got a confirmation email but also phoned them (on works phone of course :-) ) and got them to check and they confirmed they had received them.

Sent my checklist a couple weeks later though, so hope that goes through quickly

Good Luck

Do email! I emailed about a missing P3 and they were very responsive and helpful. Include your LND case number in the subject line, keep everything short and to the point, and don't send multiple emails.

I sent my packet 3 on 7th Novemebr and I am still waiting. I reckon I will hear about interview within the next few weeks. I am getting anxious about the wait but I am sure it will work out in the end. Good Luck

We have similar timelines and are still waiting to find out our interview date. They are suppose to send you a package with your interview date. If you want to find out about you visa the best thing to do is call the US Dept of State at 202-663-1225, enter 1,1,0. They are friendly and can tell you if you have an inteview date or not. They will tell you the same thing as calling the consulate in london but it doesn't cost anything. But if you want you can make that expensive phone call. See the following website -http://london.usembassy.gov/ukaddres.html for contact info. Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks for all the info...my main concern is jsut that they've received his packet as our I-129 expires on January 14th...I just want the peace of mind to know that they have received his info. When I asked him if he sent it certified mail he said no. UGH! I'm in London with him now visiting him, so I'll get his paperwork and the LND number and email the embassy. I don't get back to the states until the 17th, so I can call then, but by then it's after the 14th, and our expiry date. I'm sure it's all going to be fine...I just stress naturally. Can't be helped.
