US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionComplaint against Embassy in UK
No it wasn't until he got thru on the line that he found all this out and then only once he emailed his proof of interview that they were able to expedite his visa. Looking at other time lines on the VJ website someone else had their interview the same day and received their visa the next week. The average turnaround on the fiancee visa has been 3-5 days. So I don't think that whoever he talked to was wrong. Had he not got thru on the line the passport and paperwork would still be sitting on someone's desk!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionComplaint against Embassy in UK
Has anyone file a complaint with the US Embassy in UK before? I am so irritated with them.

Interview was on 8/27, 2 weeks later still no visa. The only method to check is to pay for the call regardless of busy signal or not. National Visa Center shows visa approved and being processed. Finally get thru to Embassy today and find out they had some computer glitch and have no record of him showing up for interview.

So what about the $$$$ paid at time of interview. What about the fact someone there is sitting with his paperwork not to mention his passport!!!! What about the fact he paid the courier service and received a tracking number!!!

Why should he be charged to make constant phone calls to find out what is going on to only find out they screwed up big time!!!

It all got sorted quickly enough and he should have visa in hand in next couple days.

This should not happen to other people!! What can be done?!

Here is another tracking number 9379109235 for one going to London with tracking reference of EXP 27 MAY 2010A. Could this be mine since they told me yesterday it could have been mailed today or Monday?

hey Sophia...when did you say your package got to or left the NVC...Im wondering if this one could be either of ours then...or the one that left the other day is ours and this is yours....that would be awesome...its a nice thought :)



Hey - they told me it would be mailed out tomorrow or on Monday so I can't imagine it is ours - however I did have a thick packet I sent to USCIS....LOL! I don't think it weight that much though - I wonder if I have my receipt with weight info from when I mailed it to USCIS?

You need to call NVC and get the date they sent it on. If they say they sent it on, get your Embassy case #, and the date they claim, example date June 1, 2010.
Go to DHL site, track by reference not by tracking number.
For the reference number, use the format:
EXP < DAY > < MONTH > 2010A
ex: EXP 01 JUNE 2010A
You need the spaces in between.
You will then get a list of packages (including tracking number). Search for your embassy. Note all tracking numbers matching your embassy.
NVC may be off on the date by a day or two as well, so change the date to the date before, two days before, a day after if you have no matches, or to track all of them.
Hope that helps.



Thanks! I got it to work...just wished if we knew who's was who - :yes:

Congrats to all the approvals and good luck on your journey!!!

Hi Tom & Tanya

Congrats on getting your NOA2 - I am hopeful based on the timeline we will get ours this week.

Just ran into a new problem that wasn't aware of and waiting for National Visa Center to open to call. We have a cruise booked in August and based on the estimated timelines it is a good chance we could get K-1 visa before then. But what I am finding out is he can not enter and us go on this cruise. I am wondering if he can get visa but not use it to enter for the cruise, take the cruise as a visitor, go back to UK and then enter with K-1 visa...fingers crossed they are helpful.

Thanks for the help. Yes the cruise has been booked and paid. I think we should get all our documents ready and if all this comes thru don't mail them until he leaves to come here for the cruise and hopefully when he returns no delays. :yes:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTravel with K-1 Visa
Hi

I think I have a problem and looking for help!

After all this waiting, if the estimations are still accurate, we may get our I-129F approval this week and start on the K-1 visa, which again looking at the timelines could be possible completed by mid - late July. The problem is we have planned a cruise in August leaving out of Texas. I am know finding out that he can not enter the US under the K-1 visa and then us go on this cruise. So I am wondering if the K-1 visa should get here before our cruise in August, can he enter under normal travel visa, return to UK, then re-enter under the K-1 visa? I am worried after all this waiting for us to be together we should purposely delay the K-1 visa until after the cruise.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
