Here's the funny thing... I (Beneficiary in Ireland) got the packet 3 in an email only because I had been emailing them already and probably annoying them. They wouldn't have had my email address before then as we didn't give it when we were filing. We gave my (American) fiancee's email address on the application form. We were expecting them to email it to her, as they had only her email officially. But she hasn't heard anything from them and it's been a few days.

As far as I know Dublin ONLY deal in email now, so the Packet 3 you were sent is THE Packet 3. Forward it to him so he can do what he needs to do with it. Technically yes, HE (and I) should have been the ones to get the Packet 3, but I think it's because they only deal in emails now that Packet 3s are being sent to the Petitioners, because it's the Petitioners' emails being written on the initial applications right where they sign.

I have a friend who went through the K-1. Neither she or her fiance got a Packet 3 until she (the Beneficiary in Ireland) contacted the Embassy about it and they sent it to her then. Somehow they slipped through the cracks, OR accidentally deleted it in junk mail.

It might also be because I emailed the Embassy back, confirming that I did get the Packet 3, that they marked it on our case and didn't bother sending my fiancee the email in America, like they would have if I hadn't been already emailing them. When you got the Packet 3 email did you email back confirming receipt? My email asked me to do so.

Oh, I hope that makes sense!

Yes it makes sense, but no, I didn't confirm reciept, I wasn't sure how, I will have a look now, Thank you so much

The email I got had one line highlighted in yellow which read something like "Please reply to this email to confirm receipt of the packet". Maybe they were just really making a point to get me to stop pestering them. :P

I was just wondering because if you had confirmed they may not send the packet to your fiance.

Do they have his email address on file as well as yours?

Then I'm fairly certain your fiance just needs you to forward it to him.

To confirm receipt I just emailed them in reply saying "I can confirm..."

I haven't heard anything since, and I emailed my Notification of Readiness on Tuesday.
