Picking packet from Lagos consulate

[zariagirl 0]

Hi everyone! Well, my SO went to the embassy to pick up the instruction packet but was told that due to construction, he would have to direct his enquiry to 'LagosIV@state.gov'. My questions are, has anyone else's SO emailed them for the packet? What was the response? Should I email or call them myself? I'm rather concerned that the clock is ticking. I appreciate any response. Thanks!!!

Welcome to the club Zariagirl. There a few of us in this wait. I have emailed the embassy several times. They only responded once which was to tell me no interview date has been set yet but once one was they would sent out a packet to my fiance. That was on July 27th, which I found out the same day via DOS that they mailed packet 3 July 27th? The link Whidbeygirl gave you is to my last vent, which explains what is going on with my case. You can try to call the embassy but you would probably be wasting your money. I know of two other ladies that DOS advised them there packets were mailed to their fiance's July 21 and July 22. Neither of them to date has received the packets. I heard it takes around 10 days or so to get the packet once mailed out. I think the other two ladies fiance's will be getting their packets first and then we will know how long the wait is from the time the embassies notes they mailed out the packets until received by the beneficiary. The other two ladies that Im referring to are Boundless and Ameriafrican. You can check with them as well for any updates. Also, for a timeline I have been updating my signature. Per DHL the embassy received my petition on June 29th and noted they mailed the packet July 27th-

Zariagirl,

Keep emailing the embassy. I finally got a email from them on Friday July 31st with my fiance's interview date. So they will email it to you once it has been scheduled.

Since the interview date is emailed is packet 3 information email or actually mail out to them. I am still trying to make sure the embassy received our information from NVC. NVC said they mailed it out on July 29 .

The packet is actually emailed. Eventhough they will say it was mailed, it was not, you will eventually recieve an email with the forms and interview date. But if inreference to the NVC sending your case out on July 29, it should have been rec at the embassy by now. You can start emailing them but I can tell you it will take about another month to get your packet 3 and interview date, they are slow at that embassy but it will come.

Thanks so much for your answer. I have tried emailing them a few times. But it is not going through. Does anyone know if there email has changed or anything like that . Everytime I email them I get the following message. :

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

Keep up the good work! I had the same problem, my hubby never did receive his packet and we emailed, lawyer emailed, eventually the senator was involved and ultimately we had just a few days notice for his interview after emailing for two months straight, then my hubby couldn't get in the building because he didn't have the original interview letter. That packet is important so stay on it for sure! I know it's nervewrecking but it will be ok, just keep copies of your emails.

All the Best!
