Packet 3 Questions

[~ameriptian~ 54]

Hello everyone,

I just received my packet 3 from Cairo two days ago... I have a few general questions.

- What's the maximum period I'm allowed to have until I return the packet to the consulate?

- Do I include any proof of our relationship inside the packet, or do I just bring it with me to the interview? If I include proof in the packet; how much is enough?

- Do I need to get my translated police certificate and birth paper notarized like the originals?

- How to do the medical exam? Call the clinic/hospital, book an appointment, go and then? From what I understood I should include the medical exam results in the same packet right?

These are all the questions I need to know answers for at the moment... I'll post more later.

Thanks in advance!!

- What's the maximum period I'm allowed to have until I return the packet to the consulate?

There isn't a time limit specifically related to Packet 3, but the approved I129 has an expiration date, but not sure if it's a year or what...

- Do I include any proof of our relationship inside the packet, or do I just bring it with me to the interview? If I include proof in the packet; how much is enough?

Submit what they ask for, bring your proof to the interview.

- Do I need to get my translated police certificate and birth paper notarized like the originals?

The Egyptian employees at the Embassy who will be working on your file read arabic.. No you don't notarize a police report.. you send the original IN ARABIC as required. You submit a copy of the official birth certificate, arabic is fine... again, the Egyptians can read arabic... You need English translation for the USA, not Egypt.

How to do the medical exam? Call the clinic/hospital, book an appointment, go and then? From what I understood I should include the medical exam results in the same packet right?

Yes you call the doctor listed in your paperwork and send the results of the exam in the sealed envelope with all the other required documents. I suggest you request that the doctor give you a signed copy of his report for YOUR records in case the report you submit is lost either in Egypt or in the USA.

The NOA2''The notice of action 2 /I-129 approval /I-797Notice of action'' is valid for 4 months .but don't worry about that cause the embassy will extend it anyway.

Send the results of the exam in the sealed envelope and don't send the X-rays .

Good luck and my best wishes for ya .

Mohamed, did you have to include any proof of your relationship and Trina's in packet 3?

Did you send the medical exam results in the packet or sent them after?

Oh and do I have to only go to one of the docs whose names listed in the packet?
