My case now show 'In transit'. Can anyone tell me how to I check it with DHL. Thanks

Woot! Mine just changed to "in transit" too!

You can check it with DHL but going to DHL.com, choosing Express, and then Track by Shipper's Reference.

For shipper's reference you need to use the date before it was sent. So if it was sent today you enter EXP 07 APR 2016A.

Then put the day before (so in our case April 7th) in the "from" and today's date in the "to" for the shipment range.

Then pick your country. You don't have to put anything in Account number.

Though be warned, from what I understand, there's no guarantee the result is YOUR case. It could be any of the cases for your country that were sent that day. If I'm wrong on this, someone please chime in because I'd love to be able to know for sure I'm tracking my own case.

They say that to cover their bases, when really it typically takes less time. From what I've seen posted the average is around 20 calendar days for them to receive the petition and 1-2 business days from there to get a case number assigned.

Hearing estimates like that can from the NVC be disheartening, I know. I freaked out when I heard it could take that long. Every case is different, but typically you will not be waiting nearly that long!

My case seems to be the one they like to take their sweet time with. LOL It's been 21 days and still no receipt of our case at NVC.

I just tried to call and a recording said their system is going through updates (the recording said 5pm but it's 3:40EST and I wasn't able to reach an advisor) so advisors are not able to access the system to inform if they receive the case of not. The recording said they'll be back up and running on Monday at 7AM EST. Did anyone else get this recording?

I sent my 129F off on the 21st of January got my Noa1 date is January 28th. I see all these people that have already been approved on my date and into February and before my date. It is now 73 day and still no approval or NOA 2 as of yet. Is any one else having this problem or am I just an unlucky person. Why would so many people after me already be approved and I have not even been look at. This is really getting ne depressed and anxiety ridden.

According to Igor's list for unapproved petitions, there are 54 cases with NOA1s in January that have not received a RFE and haven't received their NOA2 Approval. I have been noticing that each week there are a few January approvals mixed in with the February approvals. This waiting period is tough, but hang in there and keep your connection to the forums. It helps me. Best of luck. Take care.

A quick question, NVC case status of our case is now 'Ready', does it mean the consulate has already received the case packet? I am asking this because I have never been able to find DHL tracking info.

Everything you stated is correct including it's not 100% accurate.

So my application arrived in Stockholm on Monday (4th) and on Tuesday it's status changed to "Ready". I've not received my packet 3 yet, but does anyone know if it's ok for me to schedule my interview right now before I recieve packet 3? I asked in the embassy thread for Stockholm but didn't really get a clear answer.
