What is packet 3?

Hi

What exactly is packet 3?

I already got the appointment letter and the interview date is set for October 29, 2010.

Also, once the case is complete and has left the NVC, the appointment letter directs any further

inquiries should be addressed to:

EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

DIPLOMATIC ENCLAVE, RAMNA 5

ISLAMABAD

PAKISTAN

My appointment letter states the birth Certificate needs to be submitted "A = Applicant must acquire this document and present it at the time of the interview." I have already submitted the Birth Certificate, do I contact the NVC or the Embassy to address the problem with my birth certificate?

Are you the beneficiary or the petitioner? If you are the beneficiary then you should have your birth certificate, why would NVC have it? Your fiance / petitioner would not have needed your birth certificate to send in papers in USA. What visa did you apply for?

I'm the petitioner. I'm referring to my wife's birth certificate. I already sent her birth certificate because there was a RFE for it. Once they received it, my case was completed. But on the Document Status Description in the appointment letter it indicates that a birth certificate must be acquired and presented at the interview.

The visa Category is: CR1 - CONDITIONAL SPOUSE OF U.S. CITIZEN

You would need just a copy? yes ,as you would have sent a copy for RFE I don't know about CR-1 but I am thinking yu will have to get another one or run off a copy of one you have and have it certified or notarised to take to interview.

Hoping someone else can help with this one for you. Because these are 2 different areas for where we send our first lot of papers in and then where we go for interview everything has to be done in duplicate hey.

I am pretty sure someone will help you on this one if I am incorrect

Pardon, NVC would have it, is part of the 'civil documents gathering' process for the DS-230 submittal, into NVC.

Packet 3 is usually the 'Visa Application Packet'

For I-130 petitions, filed to Chicago Lockbox, replace 'Packet 3' with 'NVC Processing', and yer golden.

Perhaps is mistake. Suggest you have USC Spouse call into NVC, get a human, make the following inquiry:

Beneficiary birth certificate was submitted during NVC processing. Why is the interview letter asking for a new original birth certificate?

Good Luck !

Thanks for the replies.

I called NVC and they said the case has already been forwarded to the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan. So there is very little they can do; he said to discuss it at the interview. He said it could be the fact that the case worker assumed the original birth certificate was written in Farsi, and that only an english version was submitted. The birth certificate is in English and there is no Farsi version. I guess I will have to wait untill the interview, or call/e-mail the embassy.
