DCF Spouse Visa London - Received NOA2 but No Packet 3??

[un_conventional 0]

Hi Everyone,

After applying DCF London for a Spouse Visa for my husband, we received the letter entitled "Approval Notice of Relative Immigrant Visa Petition" in the first week of July, it was dated June 23. From what I understood we are to wait for Packet 3 to arrive, which we send back to show we are ready for the interview. We have not heard anything else. Are we supposed to print forms off the website to send them in? If not, is the only way to sort this out to call their expensive hotline?

Thanks!

Well the best thing to do is .... you guessed it... wait, when your petition is approved the case file is sent to a different section of the embassy, it moves from the IV section to the DOS, there is where they are compiling information on the USC and evaluating the potential immigrant, and for all intents and purposes it is when they make the decision if you are approved for a visa or not pending the interview stage.

I know how frustrating it is to wait at this point but patience is a virtue

Good Luck

Thanks, although I just read somewhere else on this site that the Packet 3 from DCF London is said to be enclosed in the letter we got (which it did say it was) but really you have to access the documents on the internet and print them out? Can someone confirm this?

Additionally, when we mailed out our response to the request for additional documents, we included my partner's original Kenyan birth certificate with a self-addressed stamped envelope and a request for its return in the covering letter. We have not received this back (!). Can I assume they have it when we go to the interview? It will take another 14 weeks to get a new one from Kenya!

Thanks again!

We received our approval of petition (NOA2) on the 22nd. This was just a simple letter stating that our approval was successful and our details had been passed to the correct US immigration handler.

2 days later we then received a one page letter stating, that they had assigned us a case number, and this was our packet 3. We were advised to get the documents online and print them off.

I would say that if you have a case number, you are ready to print off and send packet 3. If not either wait, or contact them.

Hi.

We thought the same when our 'packet three' arrived!! That is all you get, 1 tatty piece of paper !! So you have to print everything from the new website. So just fill in your ds230 part one and your ds2001 asap. We were confused about a checklist but it is just the ds2001 that you need. We have just received our packet 4 for an interview in September. So send it all back asap and it will be about 4 weeks for a reply then 3-4 weeks for an interview date. Make sure you book the medical asap and get any required jabs done at your local doctor as it's free.

Best of luck
