Yes, this is Packet 4. You can go ahead and schedule your interview, and then once you have an interview date, you can schedule your medical.

My Canadian fiance received the same email, but we were wondering if this is the only way it was sent to him and therefore is what he needs to bring with him to the interview or if a hard copy was mailed (that we didn't seem to receive) that he is actually supposed to bring.

Did you get a hard copy mailed to you or just the email?
