Can you guys please provide more details on DHL tracking of original documents from NVC to foreign U.S consulate once the NVC case is complete ?

How and where it is tracked ???

call nvc ask the agent when did the packet left for example in myc case my packets left apr 29 so what i did is i went to dhl.com (united states) then track (reference) then put EXP 29 APR 2008A.. click submit then a list of countries where being sent ;)hope this helps

Great, thanks lostGurl18 Your baby is so cuuuuuuuute

Our case left NVC April 17, that date didnt work for me but worked on 18th stating on the dhl.com shipment reference: Apr 17th.

Pasting this from a reply I did in NVC forum. It's pretty detailed and may help.

My package left NVC on 08 May 2008. This is what I did on the site http://track.dhl-usa.com/TrackByRef.asp?nav=TrackByRef

In the "reference" box, I put EXP 07 MAY 2008A (notice that's the day before they said it left)
They must generate their reference and do the packing the day before pick-up because EXP 08 MAY...didn't work.

Below in the "shipment pick up date range" I put May 8 2008 to May 8 2008 (I wanted to see things leaving NVC on only May 8)

Then click the red arrow that says "track"

There were three pages of shipments, so be sure and click "next" which indicates if there are more pages.

I noticed that there were 67 shipments leaving NVC on May 8, but each was to a different country (no duplicates) which tells me that they combine petitions going to the same Embassy. Looking at details on some shipments, the London package was 3 pounds and Manila was 40 pounds, so there must have been many petitions from Manila going together.

I did the same steps above for the previous day (May 7) and there were 16 countries, but they were all different from the May 8 countries. Thats 83 different countries in 2 days, with multiple petitions in many boxes! It kinda gives you an idea that many more petitions are being processed than just the timelines we stare at here on VJ. They may have some order in their mail room where different countries go out on different days of the week. It's just my speculation for what it's worth.

How does one know if there case has actually left the NVC. Is there an AVR after "Case Complete" that states the date on which it was forwrded to the Embassy/Consulate? Or do you have to talk to an operator? Is there a letter informing us of the dates? Or are these DHL trackings just "best guess" of VJers? Please someone put me in the loop.

I found out from automated system, but your case is not leaving NVC until you get interview date.

I just called NVC today to find out that they just sent my case out on May 19th. This is the message that I heard:

"...The NVC has completed the case and forwarded it to the Embassy or Consulate in..."

Of course, you can talk with an operator to confirm that your case has left NVC. Good luck!

Congrats Tyrobe! Thats great news. So this means that your interview was assigned right? When you receive that AVR message it means that NVC assigned you a date with consulate?

Also once case is at Embassy, is it the emabssy that contacts foreign spouse and sends them medical information?

How long after case is complete is it shipped out to the embassy?

Since ours was complete on 05/20/2008, does that mean that it won't be shipped out till sometime in June, after we get an interview date?
I went to the DHL site and I seen a case being sent to ISL embassy ( may 21st) , but I am pretty sure it must be from someone's case that was complete last week?? I am sure it is way to soon for ours to be off to the embassy.

Thanks

NVC will send appointment letter with all information inside to petitioner and beneficiary/applicant. Our interview date was assigned on Apr 14, I received the letter on 17th, my husband 10 days after.

Yes, it wont be shipped until you have interview date.

The NVC will not ship the application until the interview date is set???? I called DOS and they said our application was sent by NVC and electronically received on May 19th. That the embassy had not received the hardcopy and to call next week. I assume it means that the application was sent via dhl but that although the embassy may have signed for it they may not have entered it as received as yet. Are my assumptions wrong?

it will vary from appointment post and not appointment. if you are appointment post they will ship it out in time for you appointment. and if they ship it accordingly.
another thing about DHL tracking is useless. yes you do know they get to embassy, but what you don't really know what happen after they get to the embassy and how long does it take for the embassy to open it.

so if i have appointment already just patience when the appointment come. if not call DOS about the statue

nvc told me my case left on JUNE 11 to chennai via DHL

how would i track this.. .im kind of confused? anyone know

i m also trying to track but its not working some how, my case left on june 12th
let me know if u find out
thanks

Go to DHL, track by reference.......then enter EXP 11 JUN 2008A or EXP 10 JUN 2008A and choose a date range from 06/09/2008 to 06/13/2008.

thanks so much it worked! i found my case, it is in UK!!! NOWwww

its always giving me an error

I am hoping someone can help. Our NVC case has been sent to GUZ, however it seems NVC does not use DHL to send to GUZ. I have searched about 10 days forward and backward and see every other consulate except GUZ.

Anyone know how the track?
