Which Embassy would your case be transferred ( Mumbai or New Delhi ) ?

If its mumbai dont wait for any packets , I doubt if it would be ever coming . Be Proactive .. Call DOS and keep yourself updated.

Once DOS confirms Mumbai consulate has sent packet 3 , download it from the website , fillit up and drop at VFS office ( here u will have a receipt that will show the docs u submitted ). U can also email the docs to VFS mumbai ( they should be below 2 MB ) - but the response is a bit delayed.

Give Couple of Days - Then call back DOS to check back if Mumbai got the Packet 3.

NOTE: This was my experience at mumbai Consulate.

I agree with usaind if you're going through Mumbai. Don't wait for packet 3 - download it from the website. As for packet 4, you'll be lucky if that comes too - it'####### or miss. We never got ours and they will email you the interview letter, but only within 15 days of the interview date. Check out my timeline below for an example of time involved. But every case is different so just keep on being patient. Best of luck to you!
