Packet 3

[daboyz 36]

I asked this before, but my lawyer seems to think there is one. My understanding, is that there is no packet 3 for CR-1/IR-1, since NVC has all the documents. I also assume that NVC sends these to the Embassy. Is there a packet 3 for CR-1/IR-1?

Probably no need to submit same info.

NVC is gathering those (packet 3) info on behalf of US Embassy in Bangkok, and forwards it to US Embassy in Bangkok.

But it doesn't hurt if you have another copy just in case.

You can check Bangkok US Embassy document requirement from here.

Thanks!

Thinking about it more, I bet that packet 3 for an Immigrant visa is related to DCF.

Yeah, I was wondering about packet 3 myself, and what is packet 4?

Packet 4 is the Medical info and the interview appointment letter.

My wife in Thailand is still waiting for the consulate interview. We are going on the CR1 route as well. The case was completed on 1/7/09. I do not know how long it will take to arrive at the Bangkok embassy.

I am still confusing on the Package 4.

If NVC gathers the documents on package 3 for us, except evidences of relationship, why does the embassy have to send us the package 3 since they have already had all documents. The only thing that my wife could return is the signature guaranteed that she has everything in her possession.

If they are using the IR1/CR1 route, it makes more sense to start with package 4. Am I right? ( I know that it makes senses for K1 or K3 to have package 3).

Am I missing anything?

One strange thing is -> Let's say that after the embassy receives my wife's signature (from package 3), they will send the medical form and set up the interview date. (Regarding the medical record, my wife does not have anything. Will she be required to bring anything to the doctor who examines her?)

(I remember that there should be fingerprinted, etc. Do they do this thing at the embassy? So, I can tell my wife what to expect.)

Thank you for making this topic a very interesting topic.

Here is where I am. I received a letter from NVC about the first week of January. In that envelope, they had the interview date. My wife still has not received the interview letter. In this packet I received, there was a checklist of about 15 documents. They have a code next to them stating if they have the document, what else is required etc. There is no packet 3 for IR-1/CR-1 in Bangkok. Even though she hasn't received the packet 4 yet, I contacted the embassy via email (visasbkk2@state.gov) and they emailed me the medical forms. My wife printed those out Monday, and had her Medical. It is a 2 day process for the Medical. After the medical, they will give her a sealed envelope to take to the interview. Don't open it.

After NVC case complete for CR-1/IR-1, there is really only 2 things:

The Medical and the interview.

PM me with your email, and I can send you the medical forms and instructions from the embassy.
