Hi. I posted about this three weeks ago. Now I'm beginning to worry. It's been over a month since the package was shipped out from the NVC to Chennai consulate in India, and my spouse in India has not received anything yet. What do I do?

K-3 Visa

07/22/2006 - Applied for K1 - I-129F mailed to Vermont Service Center, VSC

08/02/2006 - Package got sent back requesting a different form (different revision). Proceeded to weep like a girl. Decided against fiance visa with newfound setback. Will wait for December wedding.

12/24/2006 - Marriage

02/05/2007 - I-130 sent to VSC and confirmed receipt following day.

02/13/2007 - I-130 NOA1 received

02/15/2007 - K-3 sent to Chicago and confirmed receipt following day.

02/26/2007 - K-3 NOA1

03/02/2007 - I-129F (K-3) sent to Vermont Service Center (from Missouri Service Center)

03/11/2007 - Received email notice: I-129F in VSC is now pending (whatever the heck that means)

04/05/2007 - I-130 and K-3 APPROVED! (email notice) (rec'd postal mail 04/13)

04/09/2007 - NVC received case (called 603 334 0700)

04/11/2007 - Shipped to Chennai.

05/17/2007 - Received confirmation of receiving package via postal mail in India with interview date! (took 36 days!)

06/15/2007 - Interview! VISA APPROVED!!

06/29/2007 - She's in my arms...

I would suggest you calling the embassy there as the US citizen. You can give them your NVC # and ask about the case and what is the next step. This might give you some answers. I do not know how things work there, but I ended up calling to Cuba and asking about it and was able to get my fiance his packet much sooner than just waiting. Best of luck to you both!!!

03/27/07: Telegram "sent" to fiance to pick up packet 3... never received

04/02/07: I contacted the "embassy" to find out status of case and set up pick up date

Neither of us ever received packet 3- we waited 3 weeks and e-mailed the embassy in Ankara. They said to download all forms from their website and send in - so we did.

Our packet took a long time to come from Chennai too. I emailed the Embassy at ChennaiIV@state.go and ChennaiIVU@state.gov and they immediately sent me an email with 9 attached files of the Packet I needed. Please also check http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/appointments.html to see if you have already been scheduled an interview; they scheduled our interview immediately upon receiving our case from the NVC! Good luck! :thumbs:
