Wait...?

[SamAndJulie 0]

Hey guys,

I wonder if any of you would actually wait until you've collected everything for the interview showen on the checklist (in packet 3) and then finally mailed back the forms and checklist to the consulate? Anyone did it before everything was collected?

The consulate in Hong Kong seems to be fairly quick about things, so what if they schedule you for an interview, and you don't have some items that are on the list by the time of interview?

You need a police certificate from Hong Kong, and from any other country that you may have lived in for a year or more since age 16.

Birth certificate.

Anything not in english needs to be translated.

Thanks, I know that, it's usually about a month after I mailed the forms in, well I mean the interview date.

We waited to mail packet 3 until after 1 week after my fiancee completed her medical and police reports. At that point she already had the I-134. It took two weeks for her to get packet 4. The consulate called her the day they mailed it to her and it took 3 days to arrive. Since you are instructed to schedule the interview in the month following the month printed on the top of packet 4, it probably would have been wiser for us to send packet 3 back the day of her medical and police interviews as we would have had the K-1 interview in February instead of March. Also, my fiancee bought the $100 hello phone card to call for her interview date. She used exactly 10 minutes. Although it costs more money I would recommend spending a little extra on the phone card if you require it because its better to have a little too much time than too little time.

If you haven't already sent in packet 3 and you anticipate that you will have all your materials before March, I would highly recommend sending it in as soon as possible in order to obtain a March interview date rather than an April one. On the other hand if you aren't planning to come to the US for a while you can always wait until everything is in order.

Good luck with the rest of process,

Charles

I wonder how long it took for you to get the I-134 done and all the other evidence, and finally mailed them to her? Coz the problem is I still don't have it from Sam or his dad who are my spousors, so you think I should wait until I get them first, then send in packet 3 later on?

As I am a student and have no income... I was able to fill out the form very quickly. I had to have the my bank mail me a copy of the statement which took about 3 days. I notorized 4 forms at a hospital and sent via 3-day mail. My father is also co-sponsoring, he was able to get a statements from the bank, letter from his employer, and copy his assets, W-2s, mortgage, etc. in 2 days. They sent that via 3 day mail also. My fiancee recieved these about 10 days after she got her third packet and sent my pdfs of the forms. My fiancee arrange her medical and police interviews for Jan 19th and sent out packet 3 on the 26th. She got her response via phone on Feb 6th and packet 4 came on the 9th and was dated Feb 6th. She called on the 12th and arranged her interview on Mar 1st.

I brought my fiancee copies of everything that was sent during the K-1 application when I visited over x-mas. I would recommend that you send in packet 3 as soon as you complete your medical and police interviews and you know that you will be getting your I-134s from your fiancee within 2 weeks

That is something you need to talk to your fiance about.

I actually had to wait until I got ALL of the documents needed for the interview because the Embassy in Jakarta clearly stated that I would NOT get the interview date unless I have em all.... They needed to have my documents screened. My interview was scheduled for a week after they screened my documents.
