*** After 140 approval & Before case sent to consulate

well, i called consular general of india, houston. It seems that they issue birth certificate based on the DOB in the passport. I dont know if that will be valid with the consulate, since a cross check with municpality (if at all they do) will not find a match, as my birth is not registered.
:confused:
 
Raju,

Me too sailing in the same boat i.e sent my fee receipts on Dec 6th 2002. Could you please let me know how did you checked with NVC whether they recd the fee receipts or not? Is there a number that we can call? What kind of information do we have to give? What is the status of your P3? Would really appreciate your info.

Thanks,

Ramsi,

Once you send in the fee payment, the evidence you get is circumstantial at best ! There is no way of contacting the St.Louis office.

Try the following, which is what I did,

1. Track your mail , to see whether it has been delivered.
2. Call the place where you have bought the Cashier's check, to find out whether it has been cashed.
3. Finally, after 15 to 20 days, call NVC ( 603-334-0700 ). They can confirm when they receive the payment info. from St.Louis office. They will ask for your file # , if you have not taken this file number yet, give your I-140 receipt #.

You will find the case # on the copies of bills that you may have kept.

My I140 was approved on 12/12/02 and still hasnt reached NVC. Anoter user of this forum had his I140 approved on the same date but his i140 reached NVC and they had sent the visa fee bill already. When i checked with the operator on last thursday, they gave the standard message, we dont have the case and call after 60 to 90 days. When I asked INS, they said it is possible that NVC has received it and they may have a enquiry/RFE or something like that on that petition. I am not sure if that is the case. My priority date is April 25, 2000 and mine is LC Substitution. I am not sure if having a priority date in April 2000 is causing an enquiry to check if it is the correct date. Did it take this long for anybody?
Thanks
 
I just got a copy of my I140 petition itself and made sure that CP is selected as the option in Part 4 of the petition. So, I dont know why it is getting delayed.

I noticed that your I140 was approved on Dec 11th. Did u check with national visa center and find out if it has reached them! Are you going thru an attorney or doing it yourself?

Packet 3 generated at NVC

My packet 3 was generated on Dec 23, 2002. The NVC operators told me that the packet 3 should arrive in attorney's office within next 14 to 21 days. 18 days have passed by and my attorney has not yet received my packet 3.

Q1. Has anybody received their packet 3 recently?
Q2. If so, how long did it take between NVC creating Packet 3 and the individual receiving packet 3?

Thanks.
 
Can anybody tell me what happens after case is created at the NVC till the final interview at the consulate.
Thanks:)
 
Packet 3 NVC --> Attorney ???

My status:

Called NVC yesterday, and was told by the lady that the Packet 3 was generated on 12/30/2002.

Till yesterday it was not received at the Attorney's office. Even when I insisted, she was not prepared to say, whether packet generation and sending out happen the same day.

I am assuming there would be 1 or 2 days time lag between these two.

So, there is nothing to do, but wait.

To answer Bhagawati's question:

I am assuming that he is referring to the case creation, the first time when NVC receives the approval from INS.

NVC creates the case file -> You/ your attorney receive fee bills from St.louis office of NVC -> You / your attorney send back the payment -> St.Louis collects the money and intimates the NVC , Portsmouth, NH office -> NVC then , generates the Packet 3 and sends it to you / your attorney -> You send back the Packet 3
papers -> NVC reviews the case and sends it to the respective consulate -> The Consulate fixes the appointment date and sends the packet 4 to the address provided by you -> You attend the interview.
 
cpDehli,

In my wife's case

NVC created P3: Dec 16
Lawyer received P3: Dec 27

Hopefully you will get yours this week. Delay might be due to holidays.
 
Packet 3 creation day vs packet 3 sending date

immig2003,

Do you know if your wife packet 3 was created on Dec 16th or packet 3 was sent on Dec 16th.

Could you please list the dates for:
1. Packet 3 created by NVC
2. Packet 3 sent by NVC

Raju595,

Same thing occured with me when I insisted NVC operators to tell me if packet 3 was mailed on Dec 23 or not? They did not give me an answer. NVC reps told me it could have been mailed same day or may be after couple of days. They did not have that info.

Anyway please keep you case info updated as soon as you have it.

Thanks.
 
DS230 mailed on 12/30

Hi all,
On 01/02/03 i called NVc they told me ds230 has sent this week , on 01/10/03 after request thay said that it has sent this week. As per their system they do not have any confirm date that when it has been sent. Operator told me that the exact delevry date is not entered in system but it has been sent to your attorney and if they do not received by next week just give a call back we will resend it. Till date my attorney has not received it.
 
cpDelhi,

As I indicated in my previous post,

p3 was 'created' on December 16. NVC couldn't give the exact date when it was sent. One operator said it will be sent later that week, other said it will be sent in 2-3 days, but no exact date.
 
Completed Packet 3 sent back to NVC

Bhagawati,

After completed Packet 3 (DS 230 Part 1 form) is received by NVC-Portsmouth, it takes about 15 to 25 days to enter the infomation into the NVC system and another 6-8 weeks to get the review completed by NVC officers. And about another week to send it to the respective US consulate.

Thanks.
