K3 Visa File lost between NVC and Embassy- What now?

[ms. brunette 0]

My I-129 was approved on Sept. 27, 2007 by the National Visa Center. I received a Notice of Action with the approval date of Sept. 27th. In the letter it states that my file will be transferred to the Embassy in Caracas within 7 days. I have e-mailed the Embassy and they have not received it yet. I e-mailed NVC and was told that they processed the visa petition and sent it to the Embassy on Sept. 26, 2007. What do I do now? My file appears to be lost somewhere between NVC and the Embassy

Any advice would be wonderful!

The same situation happened to me but with the Ghana Embassy.

Call the NVC (603-334-0700) and let them know as well as forward them the e-mail from the embassy stating that they have not received your information. This is what the NVC asked me to do in my situation. Continuously e-mail and call the embassy. When e-mailing the embassy, make sure you cc the NVC. That may or may not add to the pressure of them getting their act together. As additional support I was told to contact my local senator/governor's office and ask them to contact the embassy on my behalf.

I was also told that a lot of these embassies are so back-logged that they tend to lie about not receiving files. You need to be forceful but respectful and polite. Chances are they will send you a letter but it will be a month or more late. You have to keep on top of them.

I had the exact situation happen to me and my letter from the embassy arrived one month late.

Good luck!
