Still "in transit" status after more than 1 month

[Dan and Wee 9]

We have been "in transit" status for more than one month, and now are concerned that it may have been lost by DHL (which the NVC and the embassy supposedly dont track).  We have made phone calls and sent emails, and keep getting a "you just have to wait" response.

 

What can we do?  Looking at what others here on Visa Journey are going through with the Thai embassy, even packages sent from the NVC in mid-June have already been received, status changed to "ready" and they have an interview date.  Something is most certainly wrong here, but I dont know what to do and could use some advice.

 

Thanks.

Hi JahRyl! I am wondering that there are cases like this, for some the status has been changed to "ready" after several weeks. 

 

I thought the delay was only because of ramadan. 

 

Please give me an update on your status. Hoping we will get the "ready" status soooooooooner! 🙂

Hello! For us to I was just hoping it was because of Ramadan but I think it is not.

 

And since no one can give me a concrete answer where our case is I tried tracking all the packages that was sent to Qatar from the DHL website starting 4 may onwards and have found only 1 that was sent last 08 Jun and was received 12Jun. 

Hoping it would be our case and have checked with other VJ members for Qatar it will take 3-4 weeks before case gets ready from the time they have received it. 

 

We will keep you posted.

Hey JahRyl, I hope that everything starts moving along for you soon! We still have a few more weeks to wait while they do the testing on the sputum samples. Hopefully nothing will go wrong again because I don't think I could handle finding out I have to wait an additional six months, lol. Anyways, best of luck and really hope to see good news for you soon!

So i contacted the NVC again last thursday, and the rep i spoke with said that for all K1 Visas now, they are sending via email and not through DHL anymore (i cant verify the truth in this).  I was also then offered by the gentleman on the line that he would have someone look into it.  Also, he said that the embassies are horrible at updating information on accounts and they may have already received it and didnt update the status.  To me, thats believable, but when i email the embassy, i get those canned responses of when they get the package they will contact me.  

 

I knew the 4th of July weekend was coming up and since i just recently left government service, i know they do 4 day weekends (Monday and Tuesday they will be off, and Wednesday, nothing will get done before lunch time because they will discuss what they did on their 4 day, then do the minimum after lunch until they can go home (its sad, but true...and ive always hated that about the places i worked and no office was any different), so if they do locate it, I wont find out until at least the 5th or 6th of July.  If I dont see an update, I am going to contact my congressman and use a card i hate using.  Im an Afghanistan Veteran with a spinal chord injury from combat, facing surgery soon that may leave me paralyzed forever, and our case was supposed to be expedited back in February a month before i left the service...expedited my ###.  This is ridiculous.

I wish you the best, and i agree, your fiancees local congressman may be the best option at this point.  The hardest part you will face is the issues right now with the GCC and their close ties we have with the rest of them (not Qatar).  I feel for you but thats going to be a huge factor, especially with the current administration. Insha'allah you will find out soon.

We are going through the same thing, next Monday is 2 months for us. Can't track it with the NVC or London Embassy. We are constantly calling from each country but still being bounced back and forth. You're not alone, heard of a lot of people facing this. One lady from the NVC told us it simply could be suiting in customs and no one has picked up our package yet. It's actually very frustrating!
