K3 petition sent to Lagos

[African Queen 0]

Greetings!

Our K3 application was electroniaclly sent to Lagos, Nigeria on December 13, 2006, and we have been told it is not in there system yet. What have been your experiences with this issue.

Same happens with the consulate in Guangzhou China. Case is sent electronically to the consulate, but they will not "Receive" the case until they have the actual paper file in hand. Some consulates take some time to "Receive" in the paper file depending on how short handed, and backlogged they are, Guangzhou for example takes up to 4 months to receive a case.

Yup, NVC sends all approved petitions electronicly. And like YuandDan said, it all depends on how large their workload is at the consulate. The hardcopy of my case wasn't actually opened/entered into their system until 5 days after they received it by DHL.

Some consulates I have heard will send packet 3 if they have the electronic file, but I think that's rare and that they aren't supposed to do that. I asked them to do that for me (after a transfer to another consulate - we have two here that handle K visas) and they said they couldn't until they received the hardcopy.

So far this waiting for packet 3 (and the subsequent packet 4) is the hardest wait ever.

I could imagine when you only had to wait a month and 5 days for your I129f NOA2.
