Tracking Package from NVC to Embassy

[Peter&Jaime 1]

Has anyone been able to track their NVC case as it is transferred to the embassy? Is this only done once they have scheduled you an interview? There is some information on Ling Che's short cuts, but wanted to know if anyone has successfully done this.

The NVC uses DHL to ship their packages. Once you confirm the date that the I-130 was sent, you can go on the DHL website to approximately track your case. There are forums here talking about it but I'll sum it up below.

1. Go to: http://track.dhl-usa.com/TrackByRef.asp?nav=TrackByRef

2. In Reference, enter the info as follows:

EXP DD MMM YYYYA

EXP is constant

DD is the date before the day the NVC said they shipped the case.

MMM is the three letters representing the month the NVC shipped the case

YYYY is the year the NVC shipped the case

A is constant

For example, if the NVC says they shipped the case on February 12 2009, this would be entered as "EXP 11 FEB 2009A"

3. Date range for shipment - From: Enter the date of the day NVC said they sent the case

4. Date range for shipment - To: Enter todays date

5. Keep the rest of the fields blank

7. Once you enter the info, press "Track"

8. After a while you will see a list of all of the packages that left the NVC today. You need to search for the specific consulate, in your case Lima?

9. When you find the shipment the corresponds to your consulate, you will see the tracking number that you can record.

10. You can then track the shipment from the NVC to your specific Consulate

It says no shipment found on that date.

Play with the date range a little bit. Try using +-1 to 2 business days.

Do they automatically ship your documents when your case is complete?

I've tried using the method above, and it looks like the DHL website is having problems. Luckily I saved my tracking number from a few days ago. In my case the shipment was sent the same day that NVC said it was sent out.

I still do not understand why the tracking package is necessary. Who can ensure that the packages sent to the embassy are really contained your case file?

Please elaborate a little bit. I am still confusing on the methods, advantages and validity. Thanks.

From my understanding there is no real need to track it. I just like knowing where my package is. I also want to know when it arrives in Lima so I can tell my husband to call the embassy if we do not receive the information packets.

Woohoo works now!

I think it takes DHL atleast a day or so to update all the different shipments through that method. I was checking for shipments on the 12th Feb (AVR says my package was sent to consul on the 12th), but nothing arrives, but for the 11th, everything shows up online.
