I had my DF phone DOS 3 times a week, every time they gave a different answer, "phone back in a few days" "you are in AP" "you are in a name check" " Everything is there, you have to wait".

Finally I phoned the extortion line at London as I was fed up with the different answers. They told me my Check list hadn't been entered on the system and I need to email the consulate, they gave me a code to do this. I emailed straight away and got Packet 4 within 5 days.

I think maybe DOS works in straight forward cases but you do need to phone the embassy if there may be a complication so you can email them direct.
