I really need help with the Paris embassy

[johnstonl 2]

Hey everyone,

This is my first post other than on the new members forum.

I have a problem that I need some serious help with.

I'm a US citizen, my fiancee is French. We currently live together in Japan (For one year, which is ending in mid December).

Because our address is here in Japan, we never received any notifications from the USCIS, NVS, etc. We recently found out that our NOA2 (approval notice) was returned by the Post Office because they couldn't reach us here.

Now, because that address goes with us throughout the entire process, I am very worried that the Paris embassy is going to try to send our package to the same address here in Japan. But, I doubt we'll get it.

They should be receiving our paperwork from the NVS any day now.

That embassy has no phone number that we can contact about this (How is that possible?! ), so i sent them an email to try to explain the situation. It's only been one day since then.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? Would you be worried?

I know my story is a bit strange, but maybe someone has a thought or two to share.

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it!

embassies can take 3-5 days to respond to an email...

It's the NVC, and why didn't you sign up for email notifications?

Oh right, NVC. My bad.

And you know, when we first sent the package back on July 1st, we did send the form for email notification but it was never used.

I had to wait on hold with the USCIS for over 2 hours just to get our receipt #, and they told us that they had received the package nearly 2 months earlier and said "the mail system can take a while to get to Japan". But no, it takes 7 days, even through standard mail. I've had enough packages/letters sent to know.

My hunch is that some goof didn't write the address correctly in our profile.

Anyway, thanks for the reply!
