What is generally needed is nothing special, just the letter that comes with packet 3. My Fiancee is still living in Japan (she is from philippines also). She just needed to show the letter that came from Embassy, then they agree. I takes about a week or so to get, maybe 3 if your not in the country. I think you can get from Japan embassy. If not, check japan embassy web-site (Tokyo), there is some instructions there also. Good luck.

I don't think USEM sends out packet 3 anymore!

I dont know if you would really call it packet 3 or not, but I got a packet from USEM in Tokyo with forms and request for some original documents. We just used the coverletter that came with that packet and it was enough for Japan Police.

I have read on some sites that include packet 3 as part of the process and some that just mention packet 4...Sorry if some these questions are elementry, but this is my first time for both of us... also i was reading the guides section of VJ and it says I will need to dend in 4 copies of each of the G-325 form...is this correct.

Thank you guys so much for your advice.. It is also good to hear from someone that has been through this before.

Yes, 4 copies of G-325 for each of you. When you open the form, it is already 4 pages. when you fill it in, it fills in all four pages for you. you only need to print once as all 4 pages will print, but one page is for USCIS, maybe one for NVC, one for embassy, something like that.

Packet 3 or not is dependent on the embassy. each one is diffent, but mostly the process is the same, just the steps they take to get there are different.

Embassy we are using is in Japan, so it is different than Manila.

No specific advice for Japan - just wish you luck. As for USCIS, have lots of patience

You will not receive any documents for a polic check, it is on your own to do that. If she lived in Japan for MORE than one year after age 16, she will need a Japanese police certificate.

Go to the embassy website and download all the forms you need for the interview (packet 3) and get to work on that now, you will be weeks ahead of the game later and avoid last minute surpirises.
