... in response to Hamlet?, posted by GregF on Jun 3, 2004Yeah, Greg, they claimed to have possession of the paper file about one month after it was sent to them by DHL. But that was also after my congresswoman sent them a letter.
My hunch is that they are overworked and they do not open up the DHL packages from the National Visa Center until they can handle them so they can tell people like you and me they don't have the paper file in the hopes that we will stop bothering them.
Anyway, they then sent a packet to my fiance (the mail from HCM to HCM takes a week) and she completed it and returned it immediately by hand delivery to the consulate. The packet included the financial affidavit for the American but I had previously sent it to my fiance. (So if you haven't yet done this download it now and get an original to her.)
Now, she must wait for another packet with instructions for the medical exam.
We have no idea when she could get an interview. They seem to be disorganized there.
I understand your emotions. We are very frustrated being apart.
