Hello All,

I am now relaxed to a great extent after getting our NOA2 for K3. Now I am thinking that can I collect the packet 3 and 4 from New Delhi embassy personally intead of waiting for them to send it. I have seen a case of Tripti and Parag last year at New Delhi, where Tripti(beneficiary) was able to collect the packets personally from the embassy. It will save time.

Therefore, my question is should I do the same or wait for the emabassy to send it?

Can we expedite at the embassy too for an early interview as at USCIS also we made an expedite.

I am waiting for your valuable suggestions.

Praying for yours all approval.

hello,

I have received packet 4 and interview appointment today. These are my findings which I would like to post today itself so that I may not miss any point latter.

Packet 3

You need not to wait to receive packet 3. You can call consulate and find out wheter they have recieved your case. It Usually reaches within four to five days from the date it was send by the NVC. After knowing about your case has been recieved at consulate just go the very next day with the following(contents of packet 3):

filled up DS-230 part 1 form (you can download it from visajourney site)

Photostate of all biographic pages of you passport

One photograh (Though they don't take it, but just keep it with you incase.......)

One last thing you keep your consulate number allotted by NVC. Like for New Delhi, it starts with NWD.........

Just submitt these things with consulate. After that you will have to call them in a week to know your interview appointment. You will receive your packet 4 accordingly.

This is applicable for both K1 and K3

Will tell you more for packet 4 later.

I got interview date today itself because of our expedite case.

All the best

Yes, you can do the expedite of your case. Expedite is a request based on medical grounds, financial hardship etc. You can read the various conditions about it in the USCIS website and also on visajourney. If you have any such condition then you can call USCIS and tell about it, they will further tell you to submitt supporting documents for it. You can then fax those documents or mail it to USCIS. If they approve your request then your case will be approved within 5 working days of sending such information or else you can ask and enquire about it.

Hope this information will help you to understand this procedure a little bit. I will tell my husband too to explain it in detail as he has done it so he knows more about it.

Good luck
