We are in the final stages of the K-3 journey and I am confused about all these package numbers. My wife received the P-1 instructions, signed them and returned them to the embassy in Taiwan and has already completed her medical exam. The embassy called her Monday and asked her to come in for checking all her documents. She had her DS-230, I-156 and 134 completed when she went to the embassy yesterday. She said they did not ask her to change anything but did ask her some quesions about how and when we met. The embassy said they would be sending another DS-230 to her this week. Is that considered P-2? I do not understand why they do this twice? I assume P-3 is the interview letter and P-4 would be the visa?

miker32us,

The packet system is long gone, only some of the terminology remains.

The visa application package, containing some or all of the instructions and forms for applying for a visa, is commonly referred to as packet 3. The interview notification package, containing interview notice and any instructions and forms not provided in the visa application package, is commonly referred to as packet 4.

Now that the NVC also sends out visa application material in the case of the immigrant visas one will also ocassionally hear of 'packet 3.5'.

There is no packet 1 or packet 2 these days.
