Embassy in Jamaica

[Tranquility23 0]

Hello. I have been following Visajourney since i starte my process in November 2012. Our application has been approved a VSC and has been sent thru NVS to the embassy in Jamaica mid June. Since then we have not heard anything. We had concerns on my fiance's address and the first package reaching him. So far we haven't heard anything from the embassy there. We have called and emailed getting only very generic responses like your fiance will recive his package. My question is does the embassy notify applicants that they have sent the package so we can be sure to be looking for it? How long does it usually take to revieve the first packet? Thank you in advance for any replys we really appreciate it. This wait is relly getting tough.

Moved from Site-Related Discussion to K1 Process & Procedures. Subsequently moved to US Embassy & Consulate Discussion since the topic involves Embassy procedures.

**Organizer hat off**

Our application has been approved a VSC

What VSC approved was a petition, not an application.

Honey. Don't hold your breath. My fiancé never received his package! This is what I did. I personally sent the embassy a emailed scanned sighned copy of the DS-230. I waited 5 days. Then I emailed them and asked that they assign him a interview date. And send me an exact replica of the packet they will be mailin to him. That is how we progressed. My fiancé interviewed on June 28 and to this day the packet never reached his post office in Portland. So don't wait for it trust me! Inbox me if you need more advice

For the packet to reach its destination post office that your fiance will pick it up will takes a few days depending on the area he is living in or will collect the packet. I did recieve an emai from the embassy with packet 3 and also packet 4 and a few days after I went to my post office to pickup the packet after regular check. What you can do is to contact the consulate and ask the questions and have them email thyem to you and as soon as you receive packet 3 you send them your DS230nforms by email it works faster. My first packet took about five days and packet four took approximately two weeks

Don't wait for the packet. Some get some don't. We never did. All the required forms are online on the embassy website. Search VJ for packet 3 via jamaica for a list of the contents.
