NVC to consulate question

[David -n- Yuxuan 0]

Does the NVC send you information through the mail when your petition is sent to consulate?

Yes, I just got a letter from the NVC in the mail yesterday. It was dates 1/11/07 and said that they would be forwarding our petition to the embassy within a week. I called the NVC and they told me that it had been sent out on 1/10/07!!! I hope you have a speedy journey like me!

Glad to hear that VSC is shipping them out to NVC quickly. I'll have to call on Monday to see about mine (approved on January 9). Hopefully it's there and/or shipped to Canada soon.

I got a letter dated 12/29 saying they got our case and it'd be mailed off to the Paris embassy within a week... when I called they told me it had been mailed out to Paris on 12/28!

They might be closed on Monday for the holiday, but you could still try. They have live operators there from 7:30am til midnight EST. Their number is 603-334-0700, 1 for English, then 5 to speak with an operator. If they say nobody's available and they're transferring you back to the menu just hang up - if you choose 5 for operator they say try back later and disconnect. I put them on speed dial and, after an hour and 20 minutes of re-dialing, got someone live on the phone at 9:20pm EST lol.

I had the same problem when calling the NVC. It took me several tries to get an operator but I finally got through. That is how I found out that it arrived at the NVC and how I found out that it left the NVC. But still haven't gotten a letter. Of course, it may be on its way. I just have to be patient.

I called NVC yesterday. Dialled 2x. Got busy signal. Tried half hr later. Got through, was on hold for less than 5 mins! As for the time... it would be around early to mid afternoon WEST coast time. Mind you, I am calling form Sydney so limit of my US time zone knowledge is mainly San Francisco time :-) But I did have above instructions on ready :-) thanks, Angilla. Did you post that in another thread? Don't remember where I found it. Anyway... I got through with no probs.

We got letter from NVC dated 26 Dec saying the usual... file will be sent within a week. The guy who answered yesterday told me it was SENT on the same day as well. It better be true! I am planning to call consulate tomorrow (it's Sunday in Sydney) and see if I can find out whether they received it from NVCand if I can book my medical while waiting for pack3.

Forgot that it is a US holiday on Monday. I'll try anyway, if not, then Tuesday. Hopefully it's already en route to Montreal.

Thanks for the tips on calling.

Hey, I just followed the tips like you all said. I was getting frustrated cause I couldn't get through, and I checked with the automated system and they didn't have my info . I just called back and spoke with the operator, I got through after re-dialing like 4 times, and was on hold.. less than 5 mins and found out my case was already on its way to the Embassy and I got my number.. WOOO!

I still haven't rec'd the letter yet though.
