I get the feeling this isn't the first time this question has been asked, so my apologies for that! Feel free to direct me to another thread.

We got a letter from NVC stating that our petition was forwarded to the embassy on "the week of the 18th August". I called the embassy again today (29th) and they still don't have it. Surely it doesn't take this long to arrive?

I have called the NVC and they have assured me that the letter is correct. My time is running out now as I revieved packet 3 back in April, but my petition was sent back to the US for the IMBRA RFE.

I'm just trying to find out if anyone else has experienced a 11+ day wait between the day the petetiton is sent, and the day it arrives at the embassy? If not, is there anyone else I can call to find out if it has actually been mailed, instead of designated to be mailed? NVC aren't able to tell me this it seems.

Thanks....

It probably hasen't been entered into the computer yet. I believe that you have to give them so many days from the receipt of it to actually have it show up in the computer. I know how you feel as I rang the USCIS up on the 24th of August to find out if there was any information that they could give me on our case, and I was told that there was nothing new other than the fact that they received our retruned RFE. Then on the 26th I checked the online status for any touches and found out that we had been approved and that the NOA2 was mailed out to us on the 24th...the same day I rang them!!! We got our NOA2 in the mail on the 28th over in the US side. Just relax and give it a few more days. I am sure that you will hear something soon.

NVC appears to have a bit of a backlog now & I think you are within the current VJ timeframes.

Ours took about 2 1/2 weeks to arrive after we were approved at CSC.

I think maybe I phrased my question wrong.

Our petition has been approved, left the VSC, arrived at the NVC, then we recieve a letter to say it was sent to the embassy in Dublin on the 18th.

My problem is, the embassy have not yet recieved it 12 days later, not the NVC.

Has anyone else experienced a wait at this point?

Our petition was approved on August 16, and I called the NVC last tuesday and they told me it was sent to the embassy on Monday August 21. My finacee called the embassy today, they have yet to receive it.. Something's not right. DHL delivers most if not all packages within 2 or 3 days total. To Poland it has taken 2 days for every single one (and I looked back through months). Something is not right. I haven't even receive a letter from the NVC yet. I don't know what's going on there now? I would suggest calling the NVC, I am going to call again today.

Just got off the phone with NVC. Apparently the guy I talked to last week messed up when he told me it was sent out on 8/21. Appartently that is the date they received it from Vermont. The lady I talked to today told me it was actually sent on 8/25. She said the records are hard to understand in the computer for Recalled cases...

The short version is, it shouldn't take more than 3 or 4 days max from when DHL get your package. I would double check with the NVC to make sure they actually give you the correct sending date. Good luck.

Thanks very much for that. I'll give NVC another call and get on their case. I checked DHL and there was a package sent to Dublin on the 21st, arriving on the 23rd. Seems too close to be coincidence. But if that is mine I don't know why the embassy are telling me they don't have it. Maybe they spelt my name wrong...
