How to Track your Packet from NVC to the US Embassy???

[Lukus 6]

Just Figured this out and I really hope it will give people a little peace at mind.

If you wish to track your packet from NVC to the US Embassy these are the steps;

1. Get your delivery date from the NVC when you get your Case Number. This date is very important if you wish to track delivery.

2. Click on the DHL link http://www.dhl-usa.com/en/express/tracking/shippers_reference.html

3. Locate the track by Shippers Reference box

4. You will see the “Shipper´s Reference” field, if your date from the NVC falls on a Monday you will put the prior Thursday date in this field area and if your date fell on a Friday just go back a couple of days and use that date. It will look like this (example: EXP 31 DEC 2014A). Now it is very important that you use capitol letters and you must put a space in between the “EXP” and the “31” and “DEC” “2014A”. Now you will notice there is not a space between the “2014” and the “A”

5. Locate the “Date range for shipment – From” and in this first field is the “Day” and in this field you will go back 2 days from the date you had typed in the Shippers Reference Field, (example, the day will be 28 if you are using the example EXP 31 DEC 2014A).

6. Next to the “Day Field” is the “Month” Field and in this field you will put the month, (example the 12 is for DEC).

7. The next field is the Year Field and you put that year.

8. Next step you will locate the “Date range for shipment – To” and you will just add 8 days from the “Date range for shipment – From”

9. There is no need to put anything else to these areas, just push “Track”.

10. You notice all the different packets sent to different countries will populate in this area.

11. Locate the “Show All” and press this link and it will give you more details of the items shipped. Now for security reasons it will not show the names on the packets themselves. It will just show the person signing for them.

12. Now scroll down and locate your date that was provided by the NVC.

13. Next locate the country of the US Embassy.

14. Next you will see the in the same area a number on the right side with a plus (+) symbol and a number. This number is how many packets were sent out on your day.

15. Press this link and a group of other numbers will appear and these are the tracking numbers for the packets. You have the option to copy and paste these set of numbers in the tracking field and that single packet will appear. Then you have the option to print this page and the bottom and save it. But, you have to be aware there are no names of the individual packets. You have to only go by the date that the NVC gave you.

I really hope this will help if so just press the up arrow at the bottom of this message. I am trying to collect points.

Unfortunely I know from tracking and experience that even when it says delivered and received it doesn't mean the embassy actually is going to change case status to ready. I've been waiting a month since it was supposedly delivered.

Go to the CEAC website, enter your MNL # ... tracking.

Hank_.,

this step will give you the time from the NVC to The Embassy. Like myself I like to know all my steps, so when I do call the Embassy, and they state that they do not have my packet, I can give them the name of the person who had signed for it.

Plus it is just keep me busy. LoL

[Hank_ 9,173]

You are not the first to do this tracking DHL thing "just to keep you busy"

...besides I don't know why you would call the embassy just to see if they have your packet.... CEAC.

Once ya have your MNL# things tend to move very fast anyway, can be all done with the interview within 4-5 weeks of getting the MNL#.

It depends on the embassy! Tunis takes forever to enter into the system and CEAC means nothing to me anymore!!

I called the NVC and they told me to call the US Embassy to make an appointment for the interview. I called and I found out the people who answers the phone to schedule your appointments, they are a call center. This number for the interviews are not Embassy Employees. This was very discouraging for my Fiance. Because she was trying to ask question but all she got was I dont know. See we still did not receive the instructions because my fiance need to send the instruction letter to Hong Kong Police to get her Certificate.

Hmmm, maybe you will know how long it takes for her to get the instruction letter? Because NVC, stated the Embassy will send her the packet and my fiance live in an area where the mail is a hit and miss.

It takes a micro-second to get the instructions letter. Look down! See that flashing red arrow? Follow it for complete details on the K-1 process in Manila... including links to the instructions letter and more. Everything is done online.

I was in Hong Kong for a while and they can be a stickler for details. Here is the link of the requirements they are asking. Can you please look at item 3c is this the same letter they are speaking of? Just realize how detail they can be. Also you will notice they asking for the name of my fiance and letter from embassy http://www.police.gov.hk/ppp_en/11_useful_info/cert_no_crime.html

That letter is normal. You can contact the embassy, in writing (as in email) requesting the letter stating you need the police certificate letter, they should email it to you.

Also Hank_. on the sight I did call the USA Number and the 800 number and those numbers are disconnected.

USA number and 800 number for the embassy? Don't know of an 800 number. The USA number listed is the same one listed on the embassy website, but I did some checking around and did find new phone numbers posted on another page.
