clayton2103 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Thanks! No I wasnt calling. How do you do that? Ron, Here is how to contact DOS.: Call DOS at 1.202.663.1225Then press 1, then press 5, then press 0. One of two things will happen:1. An automated message will tell you "all phone lines are busy and to call back later" (or something close to these words), and the phone line will disconnect. 2. An automated message will tell you "please wait until a visa specialist answers your call and your wait time will be xx minutes (usually 15 minutes)" (or something close to these words). If this occurs, hold the phone until a live person (visa specialist) answers. While you are on-hold you will not hear music but you will only hear silence (so stay on the phone !!!!). Every 4 -5 minutes while you are waiting an automated message will inform you to stay on the line (I cannot remember the exact words). When the visa specialist answers, they will ask you the following information: Beneficiary's Case Number: Beneficiary's Name:Beneficiary's Birthdate: After you supply the above information, then ask for a status update on your fiancee's/spouse's case. -------------------------------------- Hope this helps.ClaytonI have a silly question? Why call DOS at this point? Aren't we all just on "auto-pilot" now? I'm just guessing that in 4 weeks from when GUZ receives P3, that my sweet Fang will receive her P4 with an interview date 30 to 40 days later? Should I be calling DOS for anything else?Thanks so much Clayton. Looks like quiet a gathering! Hope we can meet in the states someday too!!! My honey will need to hear her beautiful language from time to time!!! Michael, Although some have received their P3's, this number could come in handy if timelines begin to vary from others that have shared the same timelines. Perhaps someone's name check will delay the paperwork a bit and our inquiring minds will want to know why and where our paperwork is at any point during this process. I do not feel though that when someone calls we are given the most accurate of information. I have read several times where calls were made to DOS and been told that papers from NVC have yet to be received and just days later their fiancee's P3 papers have arrived. I will continue to call as we hope once we learn that the P3 papers have been mailed we will send our completed P3 papers asap. I hope to catch up to you all. Would love to meet up with many here also and I am sure we will. It will be great for our future wives to share all that they have in common and likewise. Stay in touch. Clayton Link to comment

My fiance is also Li Ping and her name is very common, so we waited 11 months at NVC. We also just got P3 and sent it back. Again I am very happy things are moving smoothly. Li Ping and Don similar combination. Don Link to comment
