Thanks Riblet,

But chart only shows when NVC completes the case and send to embassy but it doesnt tell me what happen after embassy recives and what kind of packets is send by embassy and the content of each packets Thanks

Oops, Sorry, I misread your question.

Here is some info I found on the Pakistan embassy:

Packet 3 Contains: Specifying the documents needed and actions that must be taken by the beneficiary and the petitioner prior to issuance of a visa.
Issues a Packet 4? Yes
Packet 4 contents (if known): Consists of information, forms, and requests for documents.
What forms should be send back to the Consulate? Follow Instructions in Packet 3 and 4
After receipt of the approved petition, and when the filing date (priority date) of the petition is reached, NVC forwards a "Packet 3" to the beneficiary, specifying the documents needed and actions that must be taken by the beneficiary and the petitioner prior to issuance of a visa.

After the required documents have been obtained, the beneficiary should sign the reverse side of the Packet-3 letter and send it, as well as Form OF230, to the Embassy’s Consular Section.

The beneficiary, who then becomes the "Applicant," is sent a "Packet 3.5" which consists of information, forms, and requests for documents. When we receive the Packet back from the applicant (through American Express) – with prepaid return) with all the forms completed and all the required documents, we will schedule a visa interview within the next few working days.
