How long was your wait for NVC packet to get sent to your Consolate?

[queloque67 30]

I know NVC uses DHL which generally only takes a couple of days for delivery especially to Europe yet the consulate that is processing our K1 still hasn't received it and its been 2 weeks. The consulate said they don't have it yet.

I called NVC and they said they don't have a tracking number and generally I would have to wait a month before they would consider tracking it because from their words it takes a lot of work

to track their DHL shipment.....I mean really?

How long as the wait been before your consulate confirmed any type of delivery. Mine is going to Italy. Taking 2 weeks from shipment just seems like an unusual amount of time to deliver a DHL package.

I am also worried about this. Even tho for me it has been a week. They send my packet to the dominican republic last thrusday, and it is still in transit. Its so fustrating because we are so close to get this process over with and we still have to wait lol. I mean for the DR it ahouldnt take more than 3 days.. But idk whats the deal with these people.

[googolplex 7]

It took 5 days for me.

It took 5 days for me.

We don't even get an "In Transit" from the CEAC website.

My guess is that they won't send petitions to the corresponding embassies until they accumulate enough petitions, so that they can save money on jet fuel.

The problem is that the Naples consolate doesn't even acknowledge that it exists.

There email sent to me this morning is,

Dear Sir,

You can track the shipment getting in touch with DHL.

We confirm the office has not received your case yet.

Regards,

Visa Unit

United States Consulate General

Naples, Italy

So if they have it, it is sitting somewhere in the consulate for 8 additional days and counting.

fwiw -

there are threads on how to track DHL shipments, here at VJ.

[clairegie 265]

Mine took 16 days.. that's to the Philippines though. I agree with the poster saying they pile up the papers up and send them in bulks. That's why it takes a while.

[Stefani 6]

I was able to track down on the DHL website last thrusday when my status changed to shipped and it said the consulatewas going to get the case this past monday. does the NVC register the packet as soon as the consulate recieves it or they dont update the website as fast?

[nsolo 4]

It could be that your papers have arrived but yet to be processed at the embassy.

It just tells you when NVC sent out DHL shipments. Based on the shipments the logic would say the package is there and been there last week but the Naples consulate say they haven't received anything yet.

So the disconnect is with the Naples consulate and they don't have tracking numbers.

[cdneh 3,112]

It can take quie a while. Ours wasn't sent on for nearly 8 weeks. We were in the first group of K1 Visa's set aside for AP.

But NVC stated they sent it on the 12th to the consulate. They no longer have it.
