Hi we just received an email from Abu Dhabi American Embassy with attachments of K1 Visa Appointment Letter Ds-160 .doc and another word file for Physicians List.

Is this packet 3? Am i not supposed to receive like the Ds-230 and DS-157 Forms?

My interview date is not in 3 months according to the letter so does that mean that i don't have to fill up the Ds-160 online form right away or should i do it now?

Really confused :(

Please Help :(

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

Yes that is packet 3, it includes everything you need to know about what to bring and what to do prior to your interview. As for the ds forms you can fill it up now and sign the forms when it's getting close to your interview date. There is no packet 4 from UAE consulate so you dont need to worry about that. As of right now just try to schedule and do your medical and take time to put all yours documents together. Good luck..

Hello, the petitioner will receive the email from the embassy. It's composed of 2 attachments. The first attachment contains instructions and your appointment date and the 2nd contains the Hospitals and their contact numbers for the medical.
