The Track Thru DHL Thing

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

I have seen that talked about a lot on VJ, but I am not sure I have ever talked to anyone who made it actually work. Not sure it is a big deal anyway, once you have your MNL, your set anyway.

Anybody here actually made that work or is that an Auburn Legend ?

It does work. See link in prior post.

Why bother?

Depending on the Embassy, the fact that you positively know your petition is there, allows you to be proactive. For example, say the Embassy sent you packet 3 and it got lost in the mail. How would yo know to start inquiring? In some Embassies, you don't even have to wait for the packet3 or 4 showing up, you could go to Embassy site, download forms and send back immediately. It would be possible to save 1-3 weeks of wait time, depending on the Embassy and other variables (such as when do they schedule interviews, etc).

It might not make a difference in Manila, others here with experience there will chime in.

I have yet to see hard evidence that an individual package can be tracked. I see a lot of back and forth. As for the Embassy and Package 3 and 4. This is the Philippine Forum so my question was specific to Manila, which only requires the MNL number you get from NVC, before you can schedule your interview. Manila does not even send out a package only a letter and many do not get that.
