My petition has been in the embassy for a week now and I have not heard anything, no packet 3.. should I panic?

No you should not panic. I know they're different Embassies, but my then-fiancee's packet 3 consisted of just one sheet of paper with instructions on what to do. We didn't even know that it was actually packet 3.

I have not received any news either I haven't even received the letter from NVC saying my case was sent, if I don't call NVC I would've never found out, now we still haven't received the packet three and without we cant schedule our appointment. I called the embassy and they said everything was fine and it just hasn't been sent. so hopefully we can get packet 3 soon so we can schedule the interview because the anxiety is killing us.

You cannot phone the London embassy, only use an email contact form, and they just haven't replied :(

My stepson was approved on Dec.16/2014 all they wanted was a new pass port, since he turned 18 years old 2 days before the interview.I have not found a way to contact the Bogota Embassy by Phone yet. You only get machines, and E.M has not worked, no one is responding, they just keep changing the Date, from 16 Dec. to 20 Jan. to 28 Jan. on the CEAC website to say another 2 weeks,

That's where my fiance and I are at, too! CEAC says case status is "ready". My fiance (beneficiary) will have to go through the U.S. Consulate in Amsterdam, and we have some friends that have already received Packet 3...they got it two days after it arrived at the consulate. I guess we'll just have to hurry up and wait...ugh... :ranting:
