Was wondering if they called her. Just sent 12th IV inquiry, emailing all week again, bugging the ###### out of them..I can see that I am gonna have to call the dos again. Thanks for the help NT, and thank the creator for VJ.

I emailed about once or twice a week. I think I've only received 2 emails from them the entire time since late June. From the time that you send Packet 3 expect about 7 or 8 weeks for it to get reviewed & approved. Then expect to wait about 3 to 4 weeks to get assigned an interview date. Then it's only a mere 11 to 12 more weeks to the interview. Despite everything I'm still very curious to know what's behind the slow down. Just do your best to be patient and let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

They never acknowledged our first Packet 3 also. Just call the DOS at least once a week and you may hear something in a week or 2.

I once got through. The person I talked to told me that they cannot tell me anything about my case and that if I have any questions to send an email. I hope you have better luck than I did. So you need to stay up a bit later and try again or wait after the 3 day weekend and try again. According to their website, the Embassy observes US and Khmer holidays.....just something to keep in mind. My fiance tried calling a couple of times and never got through to someone and just heard the various automated messages.

I've also heard from someone else that the overall current processing at the Embassy has slowed down quite a bit.

NT, Thea got an email reply from the consulate back on August 23, and did not tell me....She thought I got the same thing. here is what they said:

Subject: RE: I93 .

Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:51:03 +0700

From: "visas, php" <visasphp@state.gov>

Thanks. It takes 10 to 12 weeks to schedule an appointment from the date of receipt this I-93.

Thanks the same basic info that I got from them. I'm headed over there in only 8 more days!! Can hardly wait. While I'm there we gonna go scope out the embassy and check out the weekly Embassy Friday Visa Dash! Should be a good race! We want to know what's in store for us. I can post about it if there's any interest.

It's gonna be great to be with my fiancee again and also to eat Khmer food again. Surprisingly I've had some of the best Indian food in PP also. Now my fiancee loves it just as much as I do.

So, this looks like it could be another 6 months..... Geees. Man these people. Notice they never said that august 23 was the receitp date.

I sent them a ####### email. And asked them what happen to the July 18 visa application instuctions we sent. I asked them how come they did not do anymore to contact us when they supposedly got one of the 2 sent pack 3's returned cause of a bad address that does not exist. I accused them of mispelling it. And if they sent to both the petitioner and the visa applicant why didn't the other half get it? I urged them to speed it up politely.

Most likely you will hear about the receipt date from the DOS before you hear about it from them. My advice is to call DOS tomorrow and each subsequent Monday until you hear about it and your interview date. Send your emails but just have the mentality of not expecting a reply....this will minimize your frustration.

I know, I know, I just did to try and do something. I feel like I got left behind. I also sent them our NVC letter Just for fun. It is dated April 26th. I dont figure I'll get any replys NT, just feels good to ask then questions that really have simple answers that they cannot do for some reason.

Called the DOS today, they say it is pending.......................Call back in one to two weeks.......

Just checking to see any new status and to also give encourgement. Don't give up. You are near the finish line.

This is just horrible to have to wait this long. Just keep emailing the US Embassy and calling DOS. Hang in there everyone.

Boy am I glad we got our K1 processed in Bangkok. Sound like the process has went to hell since they switched to Phnom Penh
