Reply from Kathleen Walker

Ms. Walker Said: "Ok - the picture is clearing. I already sent something up on this last night and will forward your information. Have you asked post about the recreation of documentation with attorney certified copies? Regards, Kathleen"

What do we want to write to her? Madras said not to AC CP right?
 
I called Chennai yesterday.

Same answer, "call after 10 days, your petition not received". She did not allow me to talk to any one higher up. She said her job is to just check the computer and answer the question.
 
manbird

Write to her that at the post, your e-mails are not handled by the right person who can understand the complicacies of our case. We did try suggesting this and we get a routine answer of AC-140 not allowed etc. as if we are asking this for a normal case.

Surprisingly Ms Walker did not respond to me, I later realised that I had missed typing subject and that could be the reason.
 
gabbar

I wrote exactly that (from your previous post). I got another reply from her.

Ms. Walker said: "We are trying to work on the issue today."

Let us hope something good will come out of this.
 
AC140 info to walker

I forwarded mails which I got from chennai regarding AC-140 and AC-140 info at FAQ in chennai website to Ms Walker.
 
how to get NVC tracking number

I called up NVC today to get the tracking number for my packet which was sent on 10/15. She said I dont need it and asked me to call back after 10 days if I still need to get the tracking number.
I also requested her to put a trace on my case. she said she cannot do that. she said I need to wait for 2-12 weeks. 12 weeks means Jan 15. But by Jan 15th they finalize the Feb list.
Is the tracking number for all those cases which were sent on 10/15 ?. Can anybody tell me how they got their tracking number from NVC?
 
No Title

sorry, typo in my previous message, Is the tracking number "same" for all the case sent on 10/15
 
Atlast some positive response from Chennai....

Guys, Got this email reply from Chennai. Also sent an email to Ms. Walker.

YOu may contact the NVC and ask them to cable the petition and we will look
 in to the matter.

 Subject: MDR2001****** - NVC response

 Dear Sir / Madam,

 The current petition sent by NVC on October 22, 2001 is still being held for
 cleaning up any anthrax possibility and also some mail has been burnt due to
 identified contamination.

 I talked to NVC regarding the petition not reaching Chennai. They told me
 that NVC will not take any action unless it is requested by Chennai.

 Given this condition,
      1. Will Chennai contact NVC?
      2. Or will Chennai accept Attorney Certified I-140?

 Please help me here. It will be really helpful if Chennai gives us some
 direction. Thank you very much.

 Sincerely,
 
Best wishes guys..

I have been following this discussion and I feel sorry for guys trapped in this. Hope Ms Walker can help pull-off a compromise.

A Question: My P3 was generated on Nov 13 (the date on the letter accompanying the forms) and I mailed the filled-in P3 to Chennai on Nov 29. Expecting a feb interview.

Is there a chance that my files from NVC to Chennai could have also got locked-up in quarrantined mails?

Anand
 
Add my name to the list

My NVC documents has not reached chennai embassy untill now due to antharax.

mannbird / kudos

Manbird / Kudos atlast we are making some progress, Kudos did you talk to NVC and request them to cable your petition again?
 
That is indeed positive news Kudos......

Have you called NVC yet regarding this email? I am not sure if they will cable the petition on our request. We have to convince Chennai to make the request to NVC. What do you think guys?
 
Just sent an email to Chennai....

NVC will not resend based on our request. Request should come from Chennai. Emailed Chennai telling them this. Let\'s see how they respond.......
 
gabbar007

I am in the same boat. My papers were sent on 10/15 from NVC and never reached Chennai due to all the known problems.
