Hello friends,
I got a my wife interview date on Oct 11th. I am little confused about VFS in Punjab? I am an a agent for my wife and submitted all the documents asked by NVC. Interview letter did not mention anything about VFS and submitting any document to them. I am always reading about this packet 3 and 4. I know a packet 4 interview letter which I received it today. What's up with packet 3? what about the courier fees for sending a passport to my wife in Punjab? Where should I submit? Everything else's visa fees and Affidavit of support are already paid to NVC.
Input needed.
Thanks
