What is needed for packet 3 vs interview???

[beccaogingi 0]

I just got the letter from NVC saying the packet 3 would be mailed in less than a week, and it was dated Monday. So I'm assuming it's on its way to him.

I was going to visit in 2 weeks so originally I was just going to bring all the documents when I went, but if he gets the packet before I come we'd like to just get it sent off. I tried looking at the government sites, and looking through the board, but it was unclear what he needed from me for packet 3 vs what goes with him to the interview. I can global express mail the whole pile of paperwork, but it's just annoying when I will be there anyway.

So....

I think he needs my I-134 and supporting documentation for that.

What else will he need to send back his paperwork?

have you tried calling NVC? I received a letter from them on the 20th, dated the 17th saying they'll send it out in a week so i called to see if they sent it out already and to my surprise they had mailed it on the 14th!

Try looking up the web site for the Embassy that he will be going to.... they usually have a list of documents posted. I know what's needed for Franfurt, but not sure if the same applies to you.

No, I didn't call the NVC, I'm more concerned with knowing when it gets to him rather than the exact day it was mailed. I'm happy enough to know it was most likely mailed this past week and he could maybe even get it tomorrow if we are really lucky.

Re: the embassy, there isn't a whole heck of a lot on their site. I tried that a while back. Can people say what typical packet 3 reqs are (in terms of USC documentation)?

The NVC does not send out packet 3. They only forward the approved petition to the proper Consulate that processes visas. The Consulate will send out the packet 3. Included will be visa application forms, forms for medical, copy of a I134 along with instructions on how to apply for the visa. These forms are for the beneficiary to fill out with the exception of the I--134 which is the USCs responsibility.

Also included will be a checklist. The checklist outline all the required documents that the applicant will require...police checks, etc.. When the applicant has accumulated all the the required documents, he returns the checklist to the Consolute which basically is saying that Im ready.

Based upon receiving the checklist, the Consulate will schedule an interview and arrange a medical.

Slight variations may apply to different Consulates.

You might be able to use this as a guideline....

You need to start perpare evdiences for interview which listed in Package 3 since you recieve your package 3.

Here's what I got in my packet 3 (please note I got it in Brazil):

- info regarding pictures;

- info regarding police records I have to get;

- DS230 (part I) and DS2001 (to be filled out by me);

- I134 and poverty guidelines;

- info about military, marriage certificate, death certificate or divorce decree, if applicable.

Copy of my passport and birth certificate, and one passport picture were to

be sent with the DS forms.

Hope it helps. I guess the best way to go is call the embassy and ask them what would be needed.

I just recieved my package for the DS230. It contains two parts. The first one must be signed by my husband abroad...do I mail this out to him? It also states that certian documents must be mailed out like...police records, military and so on. He is planning on sending me certified copies of these so that I can just mail it out together with the Affidavit of support. Is that ok?

There is also a sheet I recieved with a bar code. It says for the affidavit of support and PART 1 of the DS230 to be mailed out. what about the second part?????

If anyone has really good experience with this, you can email me at hmm084@yahoo.com...

Or reply here...thanks a bunch..I really appreciate this!

For Guyana - I e-mailed the embassy ahead while waiting for my NOA2 and they e-mailed me back with the OF-167, visa instruction (a check list) and said that the petioner needed to fill out a DS-230 Part 1 Biographic Form.

Different consulates work differently. In Brazil, we only have to send out DS2001 and DS230 part I, with a copy of birth certificate, passport and a passport picture. After doing so, they send us packet 4, with instructions for the medical and a bunch of other forms to be filled out. Exception made for the DS forms, all the other documents required are to be gathered and shown to the CO at the interview.

I guess you should call your consulate and ask.
