2 Questions

[cmoore25 4]

So, I have two different questions.

1) My fiance went for his medical in London yesterday. Because he has moved around so much, and has had extended stays in "high risk" countries, he had to have extra blood work. The doctor had him make another appointment for the 27th to get the results, and if there are no problems, he will give my fiance 3 immunizations that are needed. The doctor said that this will not delay our "interview ready" status - but I'm not so sure. Has anybody gone through this? Will he send the results from yesterday to the embassy and then follow up on the 27th? Or does he wait to send it all together - which would - indeed - affect our readiness date.

2) Also London has not logged our case yet. When I called DOS they told us if they do not have it logged in the next few days to email the embassy to figure out what is going on. What does this mean? Do they actually, in real life, lose packets!??! This is such important information - I can't believe they'd be so careless! We have delivery confirmation & signature! So I know it's in that building somewhere. I immediately (out of frustration) called my congresswoman and she said she would email them today - again - has anybody gone through this? Will this add even more time on our wait?

I'm feeling very frustrated at the moment. I thought after getting the NOA2 it got easier - but it seems much harder to deal with b/c of all of the unknowns!!!!

Embassys lose information/mail all the time. You should see how bad Montreal embassy in Canada is, they are losing entire passports with visas in them and then ignore the person when they try to find out whats going on. Main issue is things being lost or misplaced in the mail room.

E-mail Embassy and ask for a status update. We did and received a response in one day telling us to expect packet 3 . This week. Embassy still has not logged our case in

So they often don't log case in but are working on them

Include your case number in subject line. Or they may not respond

Welcome to slowville. Keep on your medical and it will be done in time. Email the embassy, maybe they will respond.

Thanks guys. Anxiously awaiting for the congresswoman to call us back with an update.

My fiance tried to call the embassy today - stayed on the phone for 15 min (at 1 pound/minute) on hold - then was disconnected!! UGH! So, before we try to get an email "code" from them again, we are going to see what she can come up with.

It is hard to just wait - as you all know -without being able to do something! And the thought that they might have actually lost our stuff is just icing on the frustration cake!!
