Packet 3

[Micah Kam 0]

Goodmorning, goodnight, whenever you are reading this....

We're anxious to send off Packet 3 but we're wondering if we should hold off as I've just sent off an application to re-new my passport. It actually expires Oct/08 but the checklist says it needs to be valid for at least one year.

1. Can I still send off my DS 230 Part 1, DS 156 forms and checklist while I wait for my re-newed passport to arrive in the mail?

2. Are these (DS 230 Part 1, DS 156 forms and checklist) the only things I need to send off to the Consulate while I wait for my medical exam, and collecting other documents?

3. The medical admin. asked for 2 passport pics for the medical examination but the Packet 3 instructions says 3. So I called the office back. What's the actual number? and Do I need to attach the other 2 passport photos to the DS 230 Part 1 Form when I send it off to the Consulate?

I know I have a lot of questions, and you all understand so I thank you for your patience . BIG THANKS!!!

hi! in my opinion, i think you should wait for your re-newed passport before you mail the packet 3, just to avoid problems or confusion. if you will mail the packet 3 and your passport will expire soon, they will send you another letter about your passport, and it might prolong the processing of your visa.

just follow all the instructions in packet 3. if there will be no problem, they will send you your packet 4.

you can send more photos if you want, just to be sure.

good luck!
