Hi Everyone,
My fiancee, Joy, has her embassy interview scheduled for Feb. 7. The I-129F package and USCIS approval was received by the embassy on Nov. 28. I am wondering when IO can expect that Joy will get her Packet 4, along with the actual appointment letter.
Has anyone with a Fe, interview gotten their packet 4 yet? Thanks.

I want to have Joy do an early medical at St. Luke's on Jan. 9 and 10, but worried that she may not have her appointment letter by then. If she doesn't have the actual letter, would they accept a print out from the embassy website showing appoinment dates?

My honey Antonette does not have Packet 4 yet. Her interview is February 4. She is going for medical 2 weeks early...about the 14th of January. You can print out medical and interview schedule online from Embassy website. I was told they accept it at St. Lukes.

You can also request a packet pickup at SLEC. I do not remember the details, but you must contact the USEM.

Hi Marc,
I just wanna ask if they touched your docs the 2nd time only after your call? Coz we have received the NOA-1 July 2 ( but as indicated in their USCIS website it has been acknowledged July 10) and was touched only for the 1st time July 14, 2007. After that, nothing anymore. It has been 160 days since July 10 and no word yet. I think i should ask my fiance to call USCIS also to follow up too as the we are way beyond already the average processing date for K1 visa. Anyway goodluck and wish me luck too!

any time I called the USCIS about my case I recieved two touches. At least everytime I talked to CSC. There is also a role over center in New Mexico that didn't always show a touch.
Oh and No P4 for me eather

Some petitioners receive touches and others do not. Our petition was not touched until the day after approval. Each visa journey has its own timeline and so will yours. Plus, an average is just one way of figuring the middle point (e.g. mean, mode, medium). I know waiting is hard, but there is little you can do to speed up the process. Hopefully your aprroval will come soon!

It takes a few day for the case to reach the embassy and then a more time for the embassy to schedule the interview and for the packet to come thru the Philippine mail system. As agent for my wife, I received the packet within a week of the case being complete and sent my wife copies. Her packet arrived a week later and she lives in Metro Manila, I'm sure delivery to some of the provinces would take longer. K visas timeline may be a little different since the scheduling is done at the embassy.

Meryll received her packet IV Friday morning on December 28. NVC sent my packet IV out on December 10 and it has not arrived yet.
I also sent documents, proof, and pictures out today. The package only weighed 1 pound 8 ounces. I hope this is enough proof for USEM.

I don't understand why it would take so long for a letter to get across town. I called the embassy and was told the packet 4 was sent on the 20th of Dec. Then was told that my baby could go to the hospital cause a copy would be there. After wasting a trip there on the 2nd of Jan only to find out no copy made it there yet???? I heard of slow mail this is crazy. Lucky for us my baby spoke to one of the nurses and was called that the copy showed up and she was able to do the medical on 4th of Jan.
The appt. letter finally shows up on the 8th of Jan (19 days for mail in Manila?) Oh well just the interview to go and we can battle the forms and waiting together in the states.

hello! got my packet 4 after calling USEM. I informed them for my plans of an early medical exams and Ms. Grace told me that she will make my packet available for pick up at St. Luke's. Then the next day I received packet 4 thru DHL.

My fiancee Never received her packet/appointment letter. There is nothing unique about the packet except the appointment letter. The rest of the packet just contains instructions, etc. that are also on the USE website and also samples here on VJ. She was allowed to use the website printout for both medical at St.Lukes and to enter the Embassy.
Spoke with Grace at the USE about not receiving the packet and she did not seem worried and informed us about bringing the printout to the Embassy as well.

Interview Instructional Packet..
Infos of what you need to accomplish before the Interview..
Like Medical Info, NSO Info, etc..
Also it is on that packet the paper you need to show to get to your interview and medical..
Both Petitioner and of course the Beneficiary get this packet..
