Hi All,
Can anyone advise us, as to how we get a date for 'Embassy Received". Do we get a tracking number or something from NVC or do we contact Embassy direct?

Thanks In Advance......Stephen & Stacie X

The embassy will send you Packet 3; that's how Darren and I found out about our "embassy received" date...

Yes they will send you out packet 3 when they receive your info from the NVC or you could call them , but it is very expensive or email them to ask. Do you have your LND#?

You can also call US State Department: (202) 663-1225 - press 1, then 0. they can tell you if your petition is in London, if P3 was sent to you and if your interview has been scheduled once P3 is returned.

Guess what Julez, i've done a wiki for that too!!

Poitenn, you are amazing!! Now hopefully more people will start accessing this great info before posting questions! Thanks!!

Poiteen -- you are my hero.

you can email them

Be prepared to wait.... thats all I can say... We have been waiting since the end of January to get a interview date. The State department number really is no help at all to be honest. Every time I call I get a different answer which basically means they know nothing.

Chris_Jenn have you contacted the London embassy to check what the hold up is? Or if they've received your file?

Waiting since Jan for an interview date is not usual processing times

LND# ??? I checked all the abbreviations in...... http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=definition ......
but could not see LND.
Please advise. TA!

it's your case number. but maybe you don't have it yet cos you get your LND case number on the letter that accompanies your Packet 3. Do you have a case number from the USCIS

Ohhhhh It's the case number.

Yes, Stacie said that we have a case number. Thanks for your reply!

Something is definitely amiss here. Personally, I would brace myself and pay the fee to call the embassy directly. Otherwise, I have a feeling you'll be waiting forever.

Thank you Poiteen for that link

I just called them and was told my packet 3 was sent out yesterday.

Very helpful.

Thanks for all the advice. I love this place.

Glad to be of service
