Does anyone know how they send the file? You would think in this day and age everything would be electronic. Ankara has received all the forms from my wife and said that she will have an interview in a week or two. All they are waiting on is the file from NVC which was forwarded to Ankara from NVC on February 5th. I'm assuming NVC sends everything regular mail so I guess Ankara will hopefully receive it by Friday.

I've no idea how it gets there but I know it's quick. NVC sent the notice on the 28th Jan and Madrid had sent out the packet 3 by the 30th.

Leslie

Not Casa. It took my husband 3 weeks to get his packet 3.

sibsie

Mine's been sent but is in Spanish postal hell so could be anywhere. The consulate told me to download the forms and send them back.

But how do they get from NVC to Consulate? I assume it's by diplomatic pouch or something?

I dont know how it works in Ankara, but from the experience I have had with Madrid, they wont send packet 3 until they have the "paper" file. I know this cause when I called the embassy they said "We have the electronic file" but we need the "paper" file to send you packet 3, It went all quick for me
Tmushen!! Your wife is half way there!! yay!!!!
Hey sibs.. get on messenger!! I need ya!!

Leslie

It seems like I've heard that the Ukraine does receive their's electronically. I have no idea where I heard that, and if you tell anybody that I said it, I'll deny it.

I THINK some consulates are/were getting them electronically, but by no means all of them.

Girlie, Postal services are quick in Spain!!, You live in a little town thats why It is so slow, I have never had any problems.
Cathy (Ironporer´s wife) never had any problems either.
Time to move!! LOL

Leslie

Hyper!

What are you doing on-line? You should be packing.

sibsie

Tell me about it. I have the worst mail in the world. I'm dreading my visa being posted to me and my never seeing it or my passport again.

tmushen

The funny thing is we have already returned Packet 3 as they sent it to us as a courtesy 2 months ago. (It's also posted on their website but at least it felt like they were helping us out when they sent it early). All we are waiting for is the file to be delivered to Ankara. We are so close. I put up 2 new doors this weekend, painted 3 rooms and sanded and polished the floors.

It's crazy how much you can get done once you start working. By the way all this house stuff I learned in the last 6 months while waiting on the BCIS. LOL. I actually learned some plumbling as well. (Not hard at all as I redid the whole kitchen). You have to see how many tools I own now. LOL. The crazy things BCIS forced me to learn.

Hypertweeky

Leslie!! sweetie!!
How is it going?? are you excited??
What am I doing online? mmm spend time with you guys since everyone is sleeping lol.
I can pack tomorrow!!
Sibsie every 500 people town has problem with the mail, regardless of the country, sorry!
You could stay in Madrid a few more days and pick up the visa from the embassy, I believe it is possible!!

Noorah101

I hope it all goes well for you, T. The biggest thing I've learned (and continue to learn) from BCIS is patience and tolerance.

LOL, USCIS made you smarter!! That is always good!!
Good Luck Tmushen.. you guys deserve it!!

tmushen

Thanks. You must be excited about being here soon.

What does a guy have to do to get one 2 months early? I would say if you can get things ahead of time.. then I would go for it too!
Hope your interview goes good for you guys..

When Angelika gets over here, we may have to have you come paint some rooms for us! lol.. I have more tools than I know what do with! I know one day soon hopefully I can use them again, when my baby gets here!
