Want to try to track your paperwork from NVC to the Embassy?

[Chris Parker 10]

Excellent information! I was able to find the package going from VSC to Manila that I hope contains my 01/11/2008 approval. Looks like it left the VSC today with tracking number 9341426496.

Nope... all packages must go to NVC first, even K-1's.

We don't know how to track packages from the USCIS service centers to NVC yet, only from NVC to the embassies.

Once your file is at NVC, it will be assigned an NVC case number, briefly reviewed, then sent to the embassy for interview scheduling under NVC expedited case procedures.

Whoa cool! Found ours - 8728495576

This is what I searched for: "EXP 25 FEB 2008A"

I also notice the "Get Notified" option - you can add your e-mail address for delivery notification. (done and done)

Big thanks for this one.

How do you guys know which one is yours? The NVC emailed us on the morning of Feb. 27th to say it had forwarded our file to Vancouver. How do I know they forwarded it on the 26th, 27th, or won't do it till a few days later?

Is there something very obvious I'm missing? Do I have to do a timeline search to see how many ppl are waiting in Vancouver and narrow it down like that?

It does work... but how do I know that it was my petition being sent from NVC to the Embassy???

Hi Guys,

I see a few shipments to London from NVC.

The description reads Description: US DIPLOMATIC PAPERS.

Would K-1 visa stuff be so labelled?

Please read with the understanding that there are No guarentees here, but just to give you all some information.

It appears that NVC uses DHL as their shipper for embassy packages bound for beneficiary's country embassy's. I know this is nothing new, but on the DHL website (www.dhl.com), you can search for packages based on reference and package number. The first thing you have to do is determine the package number that MIGHT contain your beneficiary's paperwork. As of this posting, this might help or this might drive you crazy. If NVC or DHL changes how they do things, this could all fall apart, but here goes....

Being good beaurcrats, NVC seems to usually code the reference with some form of the following: 'EXP 26 NOV 2007A' where the date is somewhere near (on or before by a day or two) the actual date of shipment. If you KNOW the date they shipped to the embassy (NVC told me and others) then you can adjust the date accordingly and search on reference. You'll see a list of shipments to each of the embassys they shipped to with that reference. For example, if you access the website and enter 'EXP 26 NOV 2007A' into the search by reference area, you'll see 3 pages of shipments. Make sure that the date range includes Nov 26 & 27, but it can be much wider.

You can then look down the list and click on the specific package going to the right embassy. It will contain all the current tracking information, as well as allow you to sign up for updates. Of course, there is no guarentee that you've got the exact package, because it doesn't list the contents. But you can be lulled into a hopeful state that it does, and at least know when THAT package gets to the embassy.

The only anomoly I found was there were packages shipped with 'EXPEDITE IV SECTION' as a reference. You can see an example by looking up shipment #8177298920. I found this one by doing a search by number and feeding in blocks of 25 shipment numbers, starting with the highest from the most recent day of shipment, based on the reference sequence. It appears that the shipment numbers are in order, but NOT sequential. This is probably due to the fact that they use pre-printed forms for shipping, with the numbers printed on them. However, there are gaps in the sequence so don't expect to get 25 returns for 25 numbers requested. There was a place where the number sequence made a HUGE change, but I attribute that to them running out of forms on one pre-printed pack of labels and some shipping guy just started with another set.

PLS CAN YOU GIVE ME DETAILS CURRENT WAY TO TRACK MY DOCUMENT FROM NVC TO THE EMBASSY
