VSC lose my petition, now I have to refile.

[LookyWhatIFound 38]

Well, my everlasting journey has progressed again!

Originally they called to say they could reissue us, then called again to say they'd changed their mind as mentioned in my original post, and then again to say "Well, wait, maybe it's in Harrisburg?"

So, we waited another two weeks without hearing anything, and then last night my fiancee emailed me to let me know they have rediscovered my file, it's _at_ VSC and the supervisor is investigating, and once she's finished it'll be sent to the NVC (by friday!) where upon arrival our local senators office will request it's immediately expedited to try and help us make the time back!

So good news!

Does anyone know if that expedite request makes it all the way to the consulate in London and bumps me up the interview priority?

Congrats ashp, finally they are pulling your case out of the black hole. In my case NVC told me it would be 2 to 4 weeks before they shipped it, the standard line, but it left before I could blink an eye! Lets hope yours will see the same speed but then London is a much much busier Embassy then Cyprus.

Well,

As I talked about in my other thread, VSC 'lost' my petition when attempting to mail it to the NVC, back in November. We escalated this to our local senator and they eventually admitted it was lost, but they had an electronic record and they would reissue and expedite it.

They just called us back today to inform us this won't happen and we will have to refile. My fiancee was too upset to make sense of the whole thing but they are apparently emailing us some special instructions.

THIS IS SO UNFAIR, because of their screwup I now have to refile my entire petition, regather all the paperwork etc. I have a duplicate of it all in my house in the UK, but I now have to send this over, she has to get some stuff re-signed and so forth.

This is the most upsetting day ever and I have lost ALL faith in their ability to do a damn thing for us.

Im so sorry -- I hope things work out and theyapprove you right away and get you two reunited as soon as possible. This is a serious error and they ought to make ammends for it. all the best to you.

Finally, a reason to bump the thread!

The lady from the senators office has done an astounding job. They have magically retrieved my case, and after having a supervisor 'investigate what went wrong' for several days she informed us today that it has already left the NVC after her chasing, and has been forwarded to the London Consulate.

She's promised to expedite it again at that stage to try and make up the _6 months_ it was lost for! I'm finally a huge step closer, and what a relief it is.

(And, the house we tried to rent and lost out to another couple on two weeks ago, the house that was perfect for us? They phoned us back this evening to say the other couple renegged, and it's ours!)

Congrats Ashp, finally made it thru the mountain of trash! Hopefully they'll get an interview date for you soon, and its all down hill from here!
