After petition leaves NVC

[Miss Natalie 0]

Hello everyone

i've searched through the forums for an answer, but no luck (maybe cos it's Monday and my brain is still warming up)

Anyhoo, The NVC told me my case was sent to Sydney last week and I have been tracking a package that was delivered to Sydney Consulate this morning. Though I am not 100% sure it's ours, I am 100% hoping it is.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to find out if it was in fact our petition? I have read you can call the department of state, but would it be too early to do that right now?

Thanks for your help!

Hope you all have a great week

It usually takes a couple of days for it to get opened and entered in an embassy's computer. Call DOS ( not NVC) in a couple of days and ask if the case is in the consulates system yet . you have to call normal working hours M-F to speak to a live person.

Will do!

Hey Miss Natalie.

I've been checking DHL shipments to Sydney as well....We received our NOA2 on the 18th, a few days after you. I'll call the NVC tonight and see if they have it. I'm hoping they've received it and it's been sent already too!

There have been a few shipments since the 22nd to Sydney.

1. Sent 9/23 - Arrived in Sydney 9.13am this morning. - 4lb package.

2. Sent 9/24 - Arrived in Sydney 9.12am this morning. - 1lb package.

3. Sent 9/25 - Arrived in Sydney 12.35...currently with a courier - 7lb package.

So fingers crossed! Good luck!

Oh thanks for the heads up! I have been tracking the 4lb package because it seemed around the right date from when the NVC told me it was sent, but the more there are the better our chances! Good Luck to you too

How did you track you petition? I have tried to obtain a DHL tracking number but they won't give it. Please help

Once you have spoken to the NVC and found out that your petition has been sent, go to the DHL website and go to TRACK BY REFERENCE http://track.dhl-usa.com/TrackByRef.asp?nav=TrackByRef

type in the following reference based on the date the NVC told you they sent the package EXP XX XXX 2009A. So if it was sent out on september 22 it would look like so: EXP 22 SEP 2009A - try the dates a few days around the time they told you it was sent as it might not be on the exact date they supplied.

A list of all the packages sent from the NVC with that reference should appear. Scroll through and find your country

Hope this helps!

Just a note: NVC also uses the reference 'CORRESPONDENCE' on some of their packages. No one around here seems to know if there's any difference between the 'CORRESPONDENCE' reference packages and the 'EXP DD MON YYYYA' reference packages.

I just spoke to NVC and my files were sent to the Sydney embassy on the 5th of October but when I track on DHL website I only see one package issued that was sent to London?? I hope they havent sent it to the wrong embassy??

If they told you it was sent on the 5th, chances are it was not picked up until the 6th. Try using that date instead. Good luck!

How the hell does this thing work? Everytime i put what im told in by other VJers it says 'no shipments found' on every date and reference! I am intrigued because i have been told that my package was sent on the 5th Oct and still it has not been received by the London Embassy.....is that my packet you saw??????!!!
