And just in case we'll email the embassy to see if they have our case in a couple of days

You can search DHL trick on VJ and read how it's done. Or you can comb through the following thread to see how it's done:

How did you know that? I put the NVC/embassy number. Whoops.

'cus in the instructions on the side it says to use the receipt number from USCIS, not NVC

[roralau 8]

are the instruction on the form or is it a file you have to download?

[TabeaK 517]

It says so in the DS-160. Where you fill the number.

Oh. Thanks. Must not have been paying attention. Anyone have a suggestion how I should let them know there's a mistake?

[strifescenario 6]

I just wanted to thank you roralau for answering my questions. I really appreciate you taking the time.

We just got an email saying our case left USCIS for NVC -- and since you weren't sure if it's possible to track, I just want to ask again if anyone knows to to track when the case reaches the NVC from USCIS? How long does this generally take?

Mine doesn't work either.... but I guess that it takes just a while to be put in the sistem...

for the number is made by

XXX = the 3 letter code is the embassy

2015= the year

###=that is the Julian Calendar Date plus 500 (for example if it's 698 it means 698-500=198 which is the 198° day of the year)

YYY= other three numbers that is the sequence number for the day for your embassy....

this is what i found online...

1.It all depends I think.. our was sent out 10 day later.. I guess they wait for a pile before sending it to NVC but it doesn’t take too long….

2.I didn’t track it… I knew when it left and I got the date once I got the case number… I dunno about others…

3.Also here depends...allow 15-20 days..

4.the petitioner and the beneficiary can both call ... of course the person that is in the USA it's easier and cheaper..

5.I'd wait the case number for that..it's an online form ...you can do in an hour ish once you get the embassy confirmation...

6-7.the tracking number is the NVC number .. here ceac.state.gov you can track it ... mine is not in the system yet.. and yes your fiancè(e) gets it.

8. I can't anwer that coz i'm not there yet but I guess READY

9. they send an email to the petitioner for sure and then depending on the embassy a mail to the beneficiary.. communications: depends.. mine just via email.

10. I went on the embassy page and downloaded the instruction for package three so to have everything ready for when we get the e-mail...

Please if anyone sees something wrong on what I wrote lemme know!!!

AND YES!!!THANK YOU EVERYONE!! this forum really helped me a lot...both earlier when I was waiting NOA2 and now.

So I did try this DHL method and I saw that on July 23rd a package went off to Italy and it arrived in Naples on the 27th at noon ..

Until now we still haven't heard anything from the embassy But we have everything ready other than DS-160 and the fee payment (we want to make sure that the embassy got everything).

How long is better to wait before emailing them? Any tips?

We waited a couple of days after the package arrived and then sent them email including the beneficiary's name and NVC case number. We heard back from the embassy the following day that they had our case and they provided us with packet 3. So it's okay to initiate and email once you believe the package is there but then just patiently wait for them to respond. When the embassy responded with packet 4, they did so directly to the email that I had sent them prior. Best wishes and God bless!

Hey - we have been waiting 7 days since the NVC has received our case and most people seem to be out of NVC in 3 - 4. Is this normal? Also - it said ceac says I should get instructions from them but I haven't received anything - should I contact them??
