Hi all,

My wife attended her visa interview on the 21st of May for her immigrant visa. That very morning we were approved and given a piece of paper stating such. As we are here in Peru, we were required to create a DHL account for our visa to be delivered to. We did this before the interview. We are now on the fourth of June and so far our case status has not changed, nor have we received an email stating that my wife's visa is available for pick-up from the DHL. They are supposed to give us a tracking number which we need in order to pick up the visa. We've tried calling the embassy, but they tell us to submit our inquiry via email, which I've done. However, it's been nearly a week now and they haven't responded to my email either. Our status was last updated on June second, but our status remains 'Ready for the interview'. Can anyone shed any light as to what the hold-up might be or any way we can speed it up?

Thank you all in advance.

It usually takes about a week or so to process your paper work and get the visa sent to DHL. It is not uncommon that it can take longer than that so maybe you can try to reach the DHL office. I did not received an update either from the embassy and did not see it until after my wife pick it up from DHL.

I would recommend to call the DHL office you assigned and ask if they have a package ready for your wife. Maybe they already have it. As I found out when I call is that even though the package is pick up at the embassy it does not go straight to the dhl office you selected, it goes first to the distribution center (I believe in Callao) and then gets routed to the location. DHL are the ones who update the tracking of the document on the usa-visa website for tracking. Have you check there? https://ais.usvisa-info.com/es-pe/iv/users/sign_in/iv

Good luck!

Thank you for your response! If you don't mind me asking, how was your wife able to pick up her visa without the 'tracking' number that the Embassy is supposed to send you? We have tried calling the DHL several times, but they say that we must await the Embassy's response. I've checked that website you mentioned as well, in fact I have it bookmarked, so I can check it every day, just in case!

Thank you again Jorge!

I am sorry but I can recall well if it was with the number or not. I only remember calling DHL at the Jockey location and were able to tell me that they had a pacakge for her. It is good you have the link, but I would recommend still email the embassy again. It is strange they are not very responsive :-(

I agree, it is quite strange that they won't respond. I shall take your advice and send them another message. Hopefully they return the message as soon as possible. I think it's the lack of communication from them that's most frustrating to me! After all of this time they still haven't changed the visa status, still haven't sent me a message, still haven't sent the visa, etc. But thank you again for your suggestion!

Hey guys!

My parents and sisters are in the same boat! Interview date was August 27th and we were missing original I-864. Sent the all documents to the embassy on Sept 2nd via DHL and to this day, we have not received the passports back with the visas.

I have emailed the embassy several times and they all say "the file is under review"

CEAC still shows the case as AP :cry:

So frustrating!
