Does Packet 3 come in the post or by email

[Salty2305 504]

Hi 

 

I just wondered if someone could advise if packet 3 from the London embassy comes visa post or email. My case was received at NVC yesterday and I have my case number. I'm moving out of my house on the 6th October so I'm worried that the packet will come in the post and I'll miss it. Could anyone please offer any advice?

It does indeed and it also takes quite a while to arrive! By the time my welcome letter had arrived to the UK I had already paid the fees and submitted everything lol. Can you set up a mail forwarding system? Or give NVC a call and tell them the beneficiary's address has changed because they probably haven't physically mailed it yet. 

 

P.s it comes from NVC in America hence why it takes a while to arrive. My bets are it 100% will not arrive by the 6th October.

You get a letter of instruction  in the post from London. 

I answered a similar question Wednesday to somebody without NOA2 yet,  so just pasting that in here below--

 

You don't need that letter for anything. Others have never gotten it. 

• It tells you the Immigrant Visa Unit has received your petition and your new case number. There are other ways to figure that out. Calling NVC or the letter the American will receive saying the new case number and that it's off to London.  Then checking the CEAC status  checker thing with your new LND case number.
• It tells you to get your instructions for applying for the visa on their website. You already have been given the link. Start working on the document list NOW. 
• It sends you a copy of the petition, I guess so you know the low down on if your fiancé has six kids and three ex-wives. You don't need to turn in that copy at your interview. It is just for your benefit. You are fine without ever receiving it. You've probably already seen a copy and helped fill it out.

The medical people will say bring your letter. They just want to verify you got the right case number. They accept a print out of the status shown on the CEAC status check.

As a few others have said, you don't actually need the letter from NVC. I took a screenshot of my case being "In transit" on CEAC for my medical (as the previous poster pointed out, you just need this so they know your case number is correct) and then I took a printout of my embassy appointment confirmation to the interview. All the ask for is "something that confirms you've been invited here today". I never got my letter from NVC, and I'm now living in the US and going through AOS, so that's pretty good confirmation that you'll be fine without it :-)
