Timeline

My wife and I have just finished sending our payments a couple of weeks ago at the beginning of February for the I864 and IV Bills. Is that considered the payments for package 3 and 4?

I'm confused because I see on some timelines payments for I864 and IV Bills and then later another date for package 3 and 4? :blink:

How far along are my wife and I in this process.....are we getting closer?

any advice deeply appreciated.....

Recently most consulates changed requirements. Instead processing immigrant visas in Standard Processing now becomes Appointment Processing.

So the rules where to send back p.3,4 also changed.

Package 3 -DS230 part I AND II plus all beneficiary biographical documents

Package 4 - invitation for interview and medical.

well after you have complete I864 or DS230 "assume it complete"

the new process will be NVC will set up appointment for your interview and medical exam

so when your case complete at NVC just prepare for interview and medical exam

there is no need to worry about NVC part if you do everything right.

the last step is the most important one that is the INTERVIEW part

here look at this it will help you

so the I864 and DS230 are part of packet 3 and the interview is packet 4? is this correct? So im assuming that after the NVC receives packet 3 they send this info to Lima where we then wait for packet 4? Is this correct? :wacko:

Almost :)

packet 3 is DS230 with bigraph info and packet -4 only interview.

If assuming Lima is Appointment Processing consulate(I didn't check) then first you cooperate :) with NVC by sendig 70$,I-864,400$, DS230+biograph info(packet 3). NVC will review this and, will schedule interview and forward to embassy EVERYTHING. Once at embassy your SO will receive packet 4- date of interview and date and place of medical.

great question, anyone know the answer?

I've got some language issue s here :).

Do you mean AFTER submitting all documents ?

If so, probably looking at people timelines will help get the answer. After forms enter the system(1-2 weeks) it usually takes 2-4 weeks to case complete.

hi,

when you pay fee with I-864 its the last payment.... now wait for them to accept the i864 , then you will be told to fill out ds230 forms... with that send the documents as per the requirement of your consulate. and your case will be completed. ds230 is to be completed by the person who is immigrating....
