Anyone know how I can check if my wife's file went to the embassy? Can I call the state department, if so does anyone have the number?

Thanks,

Raj

How long does it usually take for the file to be sent to the embassy?

Is your file at NVC? My file took 4 weeks to get to NVC and now they are saying it can take upto 2-3 weeks for the physical file to reach the Consulate.

I already got a letter from NVC with the case number. I called the state dept they told me the same thing 2-3 weeks for the case to be transfered.

NVC sends it within a week both electronically as well as physical copy.

However the embassies in India take a bit of time.

Chennai is the fastest. New Delhi and Mumbai are slow.

Email the embassy to check if they have received the file. (User your NVC case number in the email).

3 weeks is about the time it took for us as well. If you already have your case number, you can email the local embassy and they will let you know when they have your file.

I am in the same boat... my case was transferred to Mumbai Consulate 10 days back and I emailed Mumbai Consulate a few days back to find out if I can send in packet3 but I haven't received any response back as yet from them. I am getting a bit worried... I've heard horror stories about Mumbai consulate not responding to emails at times.

I emailed Chennai yesterday asking if they have received our file. They responded that they have not received it and they should get the physical file in 1 to 2 weeks. I am assuming that they have already received the electronic version, correct me if I am wrong. Does anyone know when they would schedule the interview only after getting the physical file or is the electronic version good enough? I am just getting worried since Chennai releases the interview dates for November on Oct 10. I am hoping that if the file gets there by end of this week that should be enough time to get on the interview list.....never thought it would take so long to send a file from USA to India.... :angry:

You should be good for Oct-10, I mean your wife will get an interview for the month of November.

I think you and your wife should start doing the paperwork. Police certs, etc...

Thanks Journeyman for those words...it means a lot to hear some encouraging words...
