I recieved the Packet-4 appointment letter from NVC last week in mail, but my wife didn't recieve anything in mail yet.

We both recieved the appontment letter in email though.

Question:

Can she print the appointment letter and show it for the medical or does she need the letter that comes in mail?

Isn't email and the snail mail have same appointment letter?

When can she expect to get the appointment letter in mail?

Inzango, I emailed the same question to the Mumbai embassy and their response was my wife can print the

letter and can go ahead for scheduling the medicals herself. I do not think there will be any snail mail appointment letter

once we received the same in email. Here it is:

---

You may proceed for your medical examination to the listed panel physicians, with the appointment letter you received from NVC. You may also submit all your documents to VFS as per the instructions with the same letter. If you have already submitted the originals to NVC, then you may submit Xerox copies of all documents to VFS.
