VSC - February Filers

Recommended Posts

I called twice in the end!

Once on the 14th and they told me it was recieved that day, and once on the 16th and they said it was sent on the 15th!

15 mins later I got the email :lol:

I had almost zero waiting on both calls. 1st was about 4 mins (Total call was 6 mins 30) second call was straight through!

I called this morning and was told that my application was sent to the embassy on the 15th. :dance: Hmmm. I wonder how many days I should wait before trying to contact the embassy.

I am feeling bad for the filers that have to go through CSC. I keep reading that it's hard for you all to see VSC filers flying through this system while continue to wait. But I don't want to not be able to get excited about our progress. It seems to me that the best thing to do is to create a thread that is specifically for VSC so that we can keep up with each others' progress without flaunting it for those that don't really want to see. So that's what I'll do.

Okay, so the list so far goes: safitu, GhanaLove, tonyeck, abdounjen, craigandkym, Gabacha, Thai Pham, GrenadianCrix, serendipitous, alcatrazk, MM_MS, Adrian + Shannon and Udella&Wiz and Brian & Elise. :thumbs:.

Just realized that I didn't put myself in that list! :lol:

We filed on Feb 26 but are still waiting. I'm not complaining or really worried, just surprised that a few other couples here already got their approval from VSC even though they applied after us. Oh well.

Yeah, that's the case sometimes. But it hasn't been that long for you, it will be coming soon. Yours was received on March 1. That makes you a March filer. :whistle::lol:

That's great, I just received my NOA2 in the mail on Thursday. I don't know how long it takes to send out Packet 3, I think it varies with each embassy. Do you know how to email the embassy? That seems to be how people are getting information from them. 3 months would be a great time frame.

Looking at DHL tracking, I'd say mine left the NVC today despitet hem saying the 15th :)

Were you able to see your embassy? Which reference did you use? I see items going to different places, but none to Jamaica. :( I don't know if I'm doing it correctly.

Found some new info folks. The date NVC sends the app is the date they send it electronically.

The embassy wrote back and send they received the electronic file of the 14th (when NVC says they sent it) but they have not yet recieved the physical file. So as soon as NVC sends, consulate has it electronically but not physically can take 10-15 days for them to physically recive
