Q: How long before you restore full system functionality?

Overseas passports are being issued. Public and private sectors experts are working around the clock to correct the problem, but we do not expect the system will be online before next week.

Blah :(

Contact your embassy about packet 3. For us, we don't need it to get sent bc it's online. But it depends on the consulate!

It says they don't expect it to be functioning this week but that could mean it's going to take longer thoughhh! Or it could mean that they think it might only take another week. I really hope so! Cause they have a backlog to clear once they actually do fix it. They fixed the passport issue quickly :(

Thanks for passing along the info Allie. Here's to hoping it's fixed early next week.

Thanks JDWright. Mine has been reading the same and we have been following roughly the same timline from noa2 to embassy. I was getting the same error message, but when I saw this I checked mind right away and it was finally READY too!

What is this DHL tracking, and how does one access this? I want to track! I need something to refresh now that I know my case has left the NVC, I'm going bonkers!!

Also, silly question for any Canadians... are ya'll moving your belongings via ground transport? We want to drive my things across, but before I start packing my things (I have a lot of... trinkets... let's say... like a 1600 deep vinyl collection...) Are there any steps I need to take to make crossing the boarder easier? I've been Googling but I can only find companies who want me to play them $3000 to move...

Not a problem! Also, little piece of advice, 24x24x24 boxes are crazy expensive to ship through there. Anything smaller is perfect. You can ship more for less. In case you go that route. :)
