hi all ,

does anyone know what things will be in packet 3 from NVC and what documents need to send with it ORIGINAL or Certified Copies???

Marriage Certificate
Birth Certificare
Police Certificate

i am confused should i send Original Or Certified Copies...
since they are Considering Islamabad as a Appointement Post..

Send certified copies, and bring originals to the interview for the Counselor officer to see if requested.

You should also send a photocopy of the beneficiary's passprt.

hi,

Send the notarised copies.. which are also called as certified copies..... to the NVC...and carry the originals at the time of the interview....

Jigi

islamabad embassy requires originals and certified copies while sending ds-230 back to them.they need
1)original marriage certificate in urdu+one certified copy
2)original english translation of marriage certificate+one certified copy
3)original birth certificate in urdu+one certified copy
4)original english translation of birth certificate+one certified copy
5)police character certificate
6)2pics with white background
7)one photocopy of passport
8)ds-230 form ,part1 and part2

they require originals but they will give them back to visa applicant at the time of interview.

yes but the packet 3 says to send back to NVC not embassy...

yar waqar bhai if ur case is at islamabad embassy then they will send u packet 3.5 in IR1 case.and u will have to send back ds-230forms along with all this stuff to the embassy via speedex.that is what we did dew months back.when they will recive these documents then they will schedule ur interview.........thats my experience.now where is ur process at this time?are u going to receive packet 3.5?

Yaar my lawyar just receive my packet 3 from NVC in U.S. and she send to me and told me to send her back then she will send it to NVC... its so somplicated how many packets are there 3, 3.5, 4...

now if i send all originals to NVC i will have nothing to take to embassy with me except Photocopies.. so i was thinkin is it good to send Attested Photocopies by Forign Affairs. and keep original with me when i will recieve any packet from embasy then i will send original to Islamabad... but the packet i have is Packet 3 and it needs to be submit at NVC in U.S> not islamabad.....

ok alright.may be the process is changed now.u can see my timeline.my case is transfered to pakistan in july this year.i think u were talking about ds-230 form as packet3.when i received it from nvc,they just required photocopy of benificiary's passport and 2 photos at that time along with ds-230part one.when i send these papers to NVC.they transfered the case to islamabad embassy.then isb embassy sent my wife is pakistan packet 3.5.it contains ds-230both parts and a list of required documents.at that time we sent them original nikkahnama,birth certificate,police certificate,photos,passport copy via speedex.then they had given my wife interview letter which is packet4.so that was our process of IR1 visa.its our experience.i told ya everything accordng to that.may be the process is changed now.sorry if i misguided u but it was not intended.i hope other members going through this process from pakistan right now will help u.all my best wishes are with u.take care
