wait time for embassy to recieve application?

[MiBeSo 0]

Hello all, I need some guidance here. The Dept. of State sent me a letter on April 5th saying that my fiance´s application would be sent within a week to the consulate in Guayaquil, Ecuador. I have repeatedly contacted the consulate (through the purchase of a $12 pin that lasts for 8 minutes, I just used up my 3rd pin yesterday) and his application is still not in the system. Is it normal for this part to take so long? Does it normally take more than 3 months from the application being sent to the embassy to being able to schedule an interview? They can´t even give me an idea of when his application will be in the system and I am getting really frustrated. If anyone has had experience with this sort of thing, especially in Ecuador please let me know if there´s anything I can do. Thanks all,

Michelle

It normally takes about 2 weeks but I think some are taking a little longer at present. Do you have the new case number so you can track it? Sounds like you need to talk to someone at NVC and find out if/when it left.

Don't waste your time with those PIN hags -- they're surely paid a commission on the basis of how many times they can jerk us around and make us call back.

Call NVC first to ask.

If that doesn't pan out, e-mail IVGuayaquil@state.gov to ask.

If you can't get a satisfactory answer within 72 business hours from the nameless respondent, send me a PM.

And you ARE planning to be present for the interview once it's scheduled, si man?

I just looked online again and my case number is under April and it says the Packet 4 was sent on April 8th. How can this be when I´ve called repeatedly since April and they´ve told me it´s not in the system!? And here´s the kicker, they put my fiance´s nationality as Dominican Republic when he is Ecuadorian! Now what do I do to correct this mistake?

I'm bumping this up for you cause I noticed from your other thread that you got your NOA2 in the beginning of April.

That means your NOA2 is reaching its expiration date so maybe somebody here who knows about your embassy sees this and can give you more info on how to contact the embassy cause I don't think you have too much more time to waste.

Also it seems since your fiance is a resident there, so he can still interview there even if his nationality is screwed up, plus his passport shows his correct nationality right?

Good luck!
