Hmm..maybe I should check that I'm using the right email....
We both sent to: LondonConsular@state.gov
Thats correct right? How did you get your date? Packet 4? Were they fast about emailing?
....and if we call...will we def be able to get thru...eventually?
I've heard people have had trouble with the phone system, besides the fact that it cost a ridiculous fortune.
I'm sure we are just being too anxious and the info is on its way.....
Oh I just want to know the date!!!!!!

Joseph I sent my pack 3 back 21st August and confirmed with Proof of Delivery from royal Mail on 22nd August.
I have e-mailed called etc several times the response I get is the same:
We have no record of having received the forms to which you refer.
However there is a delay of 6 - 8 weeks between the date the forms are
received by the Embassy and the date in which they are processed and
entered on to our system. As soon as the Immigrant Visa Unit has
received the forms and completed any additional processing on your
application you can anticipate receiving an appointment date for an
interview within 8 weeks.
Thank you for your e-mail correspondence.

This informal method of responding enables us to respond to you within a
shorter time. No record is being made of this correspondence. If you
need to e-mail us again, please return this e-mail.
** I think this is a standard response. I then replied back to the e-mail advising whether they had received my medical results - they confirmed they had.
My concern is that they had my DOB wrong on the system. when I sent the pack 3 back it requested that they change the DOB, the have done this so I know they have done something with my paperwork it's lurking there somewhere.
I advised them of this and I have yet to receive a further response.
I think we just have to sit and wait a little longer - I'm going to check again this time next week and if they still haven't got it - or claim they haven't got it I'm going to send it all again!!
I don't think you will have a problem getting though when you call just press option 2 straight away you don't need to listen to all the info before hand.
The only downfall is that they can be a little rude! AND when they don't know the answer the will tell you to e-mail anyway.
Also, unless it's been 5-6 weeks since sending back the forms they will not advise you to e-mail. It's very frustrating indeed!!
