My husbands interview is in three weeks at the UK embassy. When looking at mine and other people’s timelines, you can add the date you received packet 4?

 

What is packet 4? I don’t know if I’ve received that or not and want to make sure we aren’t missing anything for the interview!

 

thanks!

One could say packet 4 in this case is when you receive the passport back with the visa in it.

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

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

Obsolete term which originated when everything was done via snail mail and instructions for the next steps were mailed in a packet to you from the consulate 

 

Better way to think about the process is by Step 1.. Step 2.. etc .. and instructions and notifications come electronically now email or your USCIS account.
