Time to mail from NVC to Embassy! My timeline from NVC mail to packet 3 sent out
My fiance is in Singapore, just about as far as you can get. The NVC mailed my packet on Monday. It was there Friday! I called DHL, the people the NVC use to ship to embassies with. They say shipping express overseas (at least to Singapore) is 3 days, starting the day after it was recieved by them to ship. This worked out exactly right. As of friday, packet 3 was sent to my fiance! This shipping time is terrific! I hope this reassures many of you about any delay we all thought may occur when shipping. The time in transit is about the same for me mailing a letter to California from Florida!

that is great news Steve
I know our papers are in Port au Prince... Only they refused to enter them
into the computer...Saying they are understaffed and have at least a
thousand before ours.

Hi all, thought I would post my current timeline for those waiting on
NVC.
K3 VISA petition
1st NOA Oct 31, 2002/ Nov 1, 2002
2nd NOA March 31, 2003
NVC Received approved file April 08, 2003
NVC Forwarded file to Consulate April 10, 2003
I did some checking since NVC uses DHL to forward files. I thought
they scan everything and email it but I think its a combination of
both. Anyway DHL customer service was helpful and told me the
consulate should get it by Tuesday April 15, 2003. They saw that a few
packages were picked up for delivery to my consulate. I will get a
tracking number from NVC next week when its available on their system.
Getting closer!! NVC appears to be pretty fast.

Hi Cdcib,
When I asked the lady at NVC for the tracking number she said its not
in the computers yet. Takes a few days. I asked if I called next week
could I then get a tracking number. I forgot her exact response but
she didn't say they couldn't give it nor did she discourage me from
calling on it.
Either way I am sure it will get there soon. I just hope the consulate
processes it quickly.
Will keep you posted...

Michael and Lynn,
The tracking number is DHL Shipper tracking number. NVC uses DHL
which is like Fed-Ex. I will see if they have a tracking number
attached to my petition which was forwarded to my wife's consulate.
