DHL Tracking

[Shimool 1]

Hey fellas, NVC AVR said my package was shipped to consulate on the 12th, and I have trying to track the package ever since, but it just tells me 'unable to track shipments'

I believe this is how to do it -

Go to DHL Tracking by Reference

Type: EXP 12 FEB 2009A

Am I doing anything wrong here? Have any of you guys tracked NVC shipments recently?

Thanks

I found this on another thread posted by 'SankuNiku:

"The NVC uses DHL to ship their packages. Once you confirm the date that the I-130 was sent, you can go on the DHL website to approximately track your case. There are forums here talking about it but I'll sum it up below.

1. Go to: http://track.dhl-usa.com/TrackByRef.asp?nav=TrackByRef

2. In Reference, enter the info as follows:

EXP DD MMM YYYYA

EXP is constant

DD is the date before the day the NVC said they shipped the case.

MMM is the three letters representing the month the NVC shipped the case

YYYY is the year the NVC shipped the case

A is constant

For example, if the NVC says they shipped the case on February 12 2009, this would be entered as "EXP 11 FEB 2009A"

3. Date range for shipment - From: Enter the date of the day NVC said they sent the case

4. Date range for shipment - To: Enter todays date

5. Keep the rest of the fields blank

7. Once you enter the info, press "Track"

8. After a while you will see a list of all of the packages that left the NVC today. You need to search for the specific consulate, in your case Lima?

9. When you find the shipment the corresponds to your consulate, you will see the tracking number that you can record.

10. You can then track the shipment from the NVC to your specific Consulate"

Hope it helps.

Thanks Jan&Rachid. I actually used that process, and it worked a couple of days ago, but hasn't been working since. So I was wondering if it is just me or if DHL tracking has been down the last couple of days

In Addition to above, I found taht they said to try a day or 2 beyond or before the date alos and this:

"I think it takes DHL atleast a day or so to update all the different shipments through that method. I was checking for shipments on the 12th Feb (AVR says my package was sent to consul on the 12th), but nothing arrives, but for the 11th, everything shows up online."

[Jan&Rachid 1]

No problem, I am not sure about that. I wish you luck and speed in your journey!

Lol. It was actually me who wrote that in a thread about tracking NVC stuff. Thanks a lot for your efforts. Maybe DHL tracking doesn't work over the weekend, as it was working friday night.

Too funny! Oh well, I was trying, lol. Have a good day!

DHL just randomly explodes. Often.

I've not seen them ship out of NVC on the weekend. I was watching it for weeks, and not once did I see them ship until Monday, after they went out on Friday.

Thanks for the replies, guess I'll try again tomorrow.

It hasn't worked for me since the middle of last week...kept getting a system error.

There was another set of posts on this recently. I looked but couldn't find the thread. I believe the final result was that Pshbrk weighed in saying that you can track some shipments, but there is no truly reliable way to know when your file will arrive. Apparently the date NVC says they shipped has no relation to the date DHL has necessarily.

Hi! I jut have a question. I was able to track my docs tru dhl but now it says that the shipment is on hold at the destination. What does that mean?

DHL at your country might recieved the package on FRIDAY or any Holiday and Embassy might be close. just one example....but the whole idea is the package is already at final destination and yet to delivery.

DHL at your country might recieved the package on late FRIDAY or any Holiday and Embassy might be close. just one example....but the whole idea is the package is already at final destination and yet to delivery.
