hello,

do you guys know how long it will take for packet 3 to reach my fiance in New Delhi. The papers have been processed by ncv and mailed to the embassy in ND on may 23rd. really appreciate your feedback. here is my timeline

NOA 1 Feb 20th

NOA 2 May 3rd

reached NVC May 20

left NVC for New Delhi May 23rd

Thanks,

I would check with them by June 1st. You're losing one day because of the Memorial day holiday. However, by that time they should be able to confirm they have received the case. As far as mailing out packet 3 to your fiance, he should get it around 2 weeks after they receive his case from the NVC. Good luck

Hi

Could you please tell me what was the" USC residency period in India" in your case? And did they make a fuss about it (90 days or 6 months?) when you went to file I-130?

dear mala

u can email at

who wishes to obtain information about an immigrant visa case, please write to ivnd@state.gov

and dear bszoom42

thanks for the information it would really be helpful for other members also.

but the status check is only for non immigrant visas and not immigrant visa.

my situation is

we did dcf in new delhi

we were given packet 3 on the spot and we had to submit that with all the documents at vfs which we did on jan 31,2007 everything went well and i recieved my packet4 in march and was scheduled for the interview in april on the 20th. But when i went for my interview the lady who returns ur original documents and ask u to pay the fee tells me the i-864 that ur husband has filled is the older version now we have the new one which ur husband has to fill.

now m question is what were they doing all those three months why did the embassy chck the form was t5he older version and wh did they made us the victim of the MIND U THEY ONLY GAVE US PACKET THREE WITH THAT FORM NEITHER EMBASSY NOR THE VFS PEOPLE BOTHERED TO CHECK IT

any ways i was done with the interview but given 221g to submit renewed form which i did .on the 25th

THREE DAYS later they returned the passport asking for the contact information of all the relatives with another 221g

i submitted that aldo and now after 21days they return the passport with another 221g saying the ADm process is on wait till we contact u

THE WAIT HOW LONG NOBODY KNOWS???????????????????????????????????

anyways i did not post this to scare anybody I WAS JUST MAD AND DEPRESSED THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO EVERYBODY BUT PEOPLE LIKE ME AND I REALLY PRAY SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO ANYBODY COZ I KNOW ITS PAINFUL TO BE AWAY FROM UR LOVE AND U DONT EVEN KNOW WHEN???????????

THE TINGS WOULD BE FINE

i apologise again please please donot get disheartened this happens once in blue moon so chill and

ALL THE BEST TO ALL OF U GOD BLESS

Thanks for the info. I hope she gets it before June 1st. Will they be able to tell over the phone with the assigned no ? Also, how long do you think it will be before she can go for an interview ? Again, I appreciate the feedback

I got my husband's case number by calling the NVC before it left. It will help you when you call the Embassy if you already have it. We were originally told that the interview would be scheduled in the first or second week of the month following the submission of packet 3. However, that was not the case. Hubby turned in his packet 3 on April 4 or 5 (can't remember which date now) and his interview was not scheduled until next month. Now I understand why based on the statement from the New Delhi Embassy that there has been a shortage of visa appointments in both Delhi and Mumbai based on "unqualifed visa applicants" as they put it on the website.

The good thing is that If for some reason she hasn't received packet 3 within a reasonable amount of time after they have couriered it, she can pick it up directly from Window 4 at the embassy. hope this helps.

Good luck and many blessings for you.

Yes dear

these people are really perticular about the residency status when we filed earlier this year the residency requirement for USC was 90 days.they do not accept petition for spouse if it is less than 90 days. its confusing sometime back they changed it to 180 days but now again it is 90 days but please do go to the embassyu and confirm it with homeland security they would be able to clarify in a better way.

My case was received at New Delhi on May 15th and they have not mailed the packet yet. For some people they schedule the interview after receiving Packet 3 and for some they directly schedule the interview. I hope they don't wait for the Packet 3 for my case. I don't know why it is taking so long, our K3 was approved on April 12th and has been month and a half and no interview date.

Sandip have you called the embassy yet to see if they have mailed it? We thought the same thing and they had actually attempted delivery when hubby wasn't home. He was able to pick the packet up from window 4. Also the post I made about the embassy statement the other day should explain why it's taking so long to get an interview. The way I see it, it must be a pretty serious problem for the embassy to be prompted to make a statement about it on their website. My suggestion would be for you to check with the embassy to see if they have attempted delivery and whether or not you can come by and pick up the packet.

Late last week I emailed the embassy and receive an generic email stating that they hope to schedule my wife's interview in the forth-coming months. I will call them this week. I am not really worried about the packet 4 arrival, my wife can go and pick it up if it gets lost. I just want them to schedule the darn interview ASAP.

I think the earliest Delhi will schedule for now is July; since the June interview schedule is out. (Unless the revise it midmonth).

I hope I am wrong though, and you get a speedy interview!

Hello,

The consulate at Delhi informed me thru email that packet 3 was mailed on may 31st to my fiance's Dellhi address. Its been 3 days and she hasnt received it. Does the consulate use courier services ? How long doe it normally take ? How long should she wait before going there for inquiry as no one at delhi picks up the phone

Thank you for your response.

Since I hired a lawyer, I was told that a copy of Packet 3 was sent to him too on May 25th but he hasn't received it yet. I am having my wife send DS-230 part I, DS-156 and copies of her passport to the embassy tomorrow.
