Package 3 is the package sent by your embassy with the instructions (documents you need, forms, etc.) This varies depending on the country; the content of the package changes.

Package 4 is simply a letter with your interview date and time. I saw that some embassies do not send this and sometimes it is the beneficiary who has to schedule his/her interview.

If you already have your interview date and were able to schedule your medical then you are good! Like I said procedures are different depending on the country (you can ask in the regional forum for the Philippines if you want to make sure you have everything that you need)

Good luck with your interview!

hello everyone!!! just wondering, what is packet 3 and 4 all about? i don't have this!! my interview is coming and my medical exam is on monday already...

thanks in advance for all your kindness...

Hello!

The only thing the U.S. Embassy Manila sends to K-1 visa applicants is this: http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/325288/packets/K1%20and%20K2%20Interview%20Preparation%20Instructions%20-%20English%20_updated%2004%20Feb%202014_.pdf

Don't wait for it to arrive because it's always either late, or it never arrives at all. Chinook and I have been waiting for five years to receive the Embassy's interview preparation instruction letter. Just read it and follow the instructions.

Good luck with your medical and your interview.

There is no packet 3 or 4 in the Philippines. Everything is online.

I recently received a letter last March 3 from the US Embassy in Manila, telling me that my fiancé visa case is eligible to be scheduled for an interview. It's dated January 6 and indicates my case number at the bottom left of the letter. I had my interview last Feb 18. Too late the hero? LOL

Along with this letter is a copy of the approved I-129F with the alien number and a document titled Record Of Inquiry -TECS (ROIT). This TECS form appears to be the result of a background check on both petitioner and beneficiary, using a records search on both our names and corresponding birth dates. Thankfully, 'no match' for both!

So is this packet 3 or packet 4?

On my first day of medical (Feb 10), I admitted to the doctor performing the physical exam that several years ago, I saw a psychiatrist about 2 or 3 times. I had mild depression due to my partner going back to the US and leaving China, which meant less time together and the hassle of dealing with 16 hours time zone difference.

The doctor required that I be evaluated by the psychiatrist of SLEC, so I had to come back on Feb 12 just to schedule for Feb 14. Came back on Feb 14, passed the psych exam and then I had to come back on Feb 17 for immunizations and the X-ray CD.

Are you done with medical yet?
