NVC Appointment Processing

[TimS 0]

Hi, I read something about NVC appointment processing making the packet 3 and 4 phases of the visa process obsolete. Can someone please explain what this is about? Thank you.

NVC document processing has to do with IR-1 and CR-1 visas NOT K-Visas.

K-Visas pass through NVC, and the IV Unit of the consulate handles appointment setting for the K-Visas. Some consulates combine the information and appointment packets, others send them out separately.

Moving this to NVC forum.

You seem like you might know the answer to my question. My case is a K-1 but on this thread when I read the process of the NVC it mentions that one needs to send a packet to them? I am confused... is this also in regard for the K-1 or something else??

You are confusing with IR-1/CR-1 process.

For IR-1/CR-1 cases, NVC asked for DS-230 plus additional documentation on the behalf of US Embassy.

So most of documentation required by Packet 3/4 needs to be submitted in advance.

But medical exam and few more still needs to be prepared in addition to those.
