Hello sir,
I have an inquiry regarding k1 visa. It’s been 3 months and I haven’t really received the packet 4 from Mumbai embassy. I have received the welcome letter on 5th dec. and the immigrate case visa is showing “Ready”. Do you really need packet 4 to proceed? I’m like confused :((

no you dont need packet 4 you need to get register book for the appointment, did you fill out DS160 then you need to go to usvisascheduleing website and register and book for the appointment.

Wer did you do your medical and biometric??

did you get your Police Clearance certificate done ? go to above website make sure everything is done. you need to do you medical and biometric where are you in india ?

No I mean which city did you do your medical and biometric. Is it in Delhi or in Mumbai ?

Mumbai

did you select the Mumbai as Consulate for Interview ? if yes then you can get the Medical done from your state approved provider tell them you got your case ready did you get some email from NVC called K1 regarding your case tell them your case is already in Consulate. they will schedule your medical interview. but make sure you have your PCC cleared.

follow the steps in above link

Btw Did you receive packet 4 ???

NO, they take forever to send packet 4 you can do biometric and appointment without it.

What if they ask?? Is it compulsory or is it okay not to have it ???

What if they ask?? Is it compulsory or is it okay not to have it ???

I am so confused right now whether to wait or to proceed without packet 4 ??

You dont need to wait for Packet4 , you can go ahead , you can read it on the forum everyone same issue , many times they dont even send you packet 4. you need to book the medical and then book the appointment.

Thank you so much for you information. You’re so kind. I am just worried what if they ask for packet4. If they did then I’m pretty sure my interview appointment will get cancelled

Don't worry Packet 4 is nothing but checklist. see the sample packet4 for Mumbai consulate you don't need it they wont ask for it.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
