K1 Visa Embassy Paris Update

So I had to have my fiance call the NVC yesterday to finally find out that the Embassy received my case in June 16th, a month after NVC sent it, and sent Packet 3 in an e-mail that got lost. So up, I got a month late Packet 3. Good news is, I have most of the documents ready. Bad news is, I now have to wait until the online appointment system puts August dates available. When my petition expires September 1st. I don't know what to do. Today, I checked my CEAC status, and the status update date changed to July 27th, TODAY. Yet, there are no e-mails, no information whatsoever, no dates are available on the online appointment system and I am lost. Now, for most of you who are gonna comment on this like last time to tell me to contact the embassy: I DID. TOO MANY TIMES. I called them like 20 times, e-mailed them, filled their contact inquiry forms, and NOTHING. For you to believe this, I must provide today's example, where I called the operator again, spending a ton of money cause it's an international number (I'm portuguese), explained my situation. She was gonna give me the automated immigrant visa section message and I begged her not to cause I had that a million times and it wasn't of help, she asked if I e-mailed, I said I did and no one ever replied, she asked if I filled the inquiry form, I said I did and no one contacted me, I was in the verge of tears asking her to help me, and she says "Hold on just a moment" so my eyes lit up thinking this one would finally give me answers, or redirect me to talk to someone, and she did what? Gave me the automated message of the immigrant section.

Soooo, I have concluded they are dicks. They don't care the slightest about your case and they never will. Hence why I am here posting, again, to maybe have some solutions from fellow K1 visa applicants.

Please help me.

I mean it's a bit confusing. What is it you are waiting for?

You got package 3 and have almost? gathered all your documents. I assume you have had your medical, DS-160 and paid your visa fee?

The embassy can extend your approval (NOA2) so you don't have to be so nervous about that.

I mean if thats the way the embassy in France does it then all you can do is wait for them to open up for you to book your medical.

Have your tried to ask in the France-forum how others there have gone through the embassies steps?

And why are you at embassy in France if you live in Portugal? (Don't have to answer I'm just curious)

Because there are no August dates available. I called the call center, cause I'm allowed to schedule online apparently, cause there's no Packet 4 anymore, and they said there are none right now, By September, I cant stay in my country anymore, for personal reasons.

Well honestly the embassy can't do nothing about that. That is your own planning there should have been better. May sound harsh but it is what it is. They can't cancel others just so you can have yours.

I do hope you get it but all you can do is wait. Keep calling, mailing and so on the embassy about this I really think have the opposite effect.

Should have been better? In case you are thinking I scheduled plane tickets to the US, you are wrong. I have my own personal reasons, but that's not the problem. Because of their error, I lost a MONTH of time to do things, and now I have to extend my petition for further than September, because there might not be August dates. Not to mention the documents that might lose validity, like birth certificate and criminal certificate, In case you're wondering, I am not rich, I don't have money to keep spending. The instructions on the embassy website tell me to schedule online, the call center for the visa appointment system doesn't let me. They can't cancel others to have mine, but they also shouldn't have left mine alone for a month. Do not patronize the embassy, they mocked me endlessly, and their negligence is something I will never forget. I have been contacting them since JUNE and nothing. Maybe the embassy you went to works differently, but this one works like this. All I am asking if for actual advice that helps.
