Medical / Police Cert / Packet 3 London

[David And Katie 5]

I hoped to make the title as descriptive as possible.

Mailed Packet 3 in a week or so ago. Got my Police Cert today in the mail. Do I need to check they received Packet 3?

I am waiting on my lovely wife-to-be (The USC) to send me the I134's. Is there any point getting my medical done until I have the 134's in my hand?

At what point do I mail in the check list...? I mailed in the forms before the checklist because I, at that point, wasn't ready as per NickNich's guide.

Slightly freaking out because unfortunately there's a big wedding planned in August and I'm just hoping I make the visa in time.

Basically that check list is you telling them you are going to have EVERYTHING they need. We sent the checklist back prior to having the medical done but we knew the appointment was going to be before the interview and that's what was important. As long as you know for a fact you will have everything required on that checklist by the interview then I wouldnt hesitate to send it back. Good luck!

I have my Police Cert (PC). Birth Certificate (BC). Passport is valid until 2018, so that's ok.

Pictures I have (2x Us size and 1 UK size).

Only thing I'm lacking now is the I-134 which the Mrs is working on as we speak. I'd say 2 weeks for that including posting time to me.

Timewise, you should be absolutely fine with August.

Schedule your medical now. It doesn't have anything to do with your I-134.

For us, once we mailed our packet 3 in (w/ checklist), we had an interview date less than 3 weeks later....

From what I had read (and I admit its a lot) I thought once you had your medical they would schedule you the interview... but that depends on the checklist, right?

So, medical now, send in checklist once I have the I-134 in hand and bobs your uncle?

[* Kristin * 49]

Yep - interview will be scheduled once they have your medical results and your checklist.

So:

Medical now = yep!

Checklist = If you want to try to jump ahead a bit, you can always post your checklist in about a week or so.. that way you'll be sure you have her I-134 in hand for your interview.... assuming the I-134 is right, all complete, w/ supporting documents :-)

Thank you... I'm not freaking out quite so much.

It's a lot of pressure if something goes wrong (big expensive wedding and deposits paid etc) ...

I see you have a similar timeline to us. I was late getting all this stuff done but hopefully we won't be too far behind.

We're August 13th btw

[* Kristin * 49]

I know what you mean! I always kept thinking 'what if'....! But now it's just a big smile and wait for June when he's coming over!

Hope all goes well the rest of the way

Mommy Nich agrees with all the advice these guys gave you. Get the medical now. Fudge on the readiness for interview form a little...at least mail it the same day she mails the I-134. She can scan and fax anything she forgets except the actual original signature I-134 form and an original employer letter if she is getting that. Don't forget to include a cover letter with the readiness form with the stuff they want to know...email...wedding date...I forget, that's why I wrote it all down.

Oh and it never hurts to call DOS to make sure everything is there. I wouldn't spend money calling the embassy line but check in with DOS from time to time. You read about people who let 3 months go by without checking, only to find out their forms didn't seem to arrive.

Sorry to piggyback on to your topic, but I have a similar problem. Also wedding date of August 13th, and need to be out of my property by June 30th as my tenancy agreement ends. I have all my docs except the I-134 from Maria. I am just wondering when to send my stuff to the embassy as I will be out of the country from April 20th - May 2nd, but I need to give a months notice at my work. I am thinking of sending my documents just before I go to Canada, stating I will be out of the country during this period on my covering letter and hoping I get an appointment at the beginning of May.

I would strongly recommend that any mail which is being sent to you from the USA is done via fed ex / ups / DHL or a known courier company, a friend of mine had documents sent to him via normal mail and this took about 1 month to receive.

I just sent my packet 3 special delivery yesterday which cost £5.50 and it was received this morning and i was able to trace it online with proof of signature.

I didnt actually receive packet 3 letter yet but DOS confirmed it was sent out on 22 march 11 but i have still not received it.

I wish I'd special delivery'd my Packet 3 forms now, at least I'd know they got there! I'll call DOS tonight though.

Do I just give them my LND number and ask if my Packet 3 forms arrived???

I will get the medical done soon as ... although I am currently recovering (badly) from a really nasty cold/chest infection.

[YNWA 0]

yes just your LND number, when did u send them? I just called them now to see if embassy has logged mine but they said that nothing is shown other than packet 3 was sent out on 22/3/11 which i have not received yet!

Just called up now and have my medical appointment booked for the first week of April.. EEK! I am nervous already.

It's at 9:30 so I am figuring on having to battle though commuter traffic unfortunately. It was the first day she offered me and that's all that was left.

Sent mine on the 16th so nearly 10 days ago. They should have had them for 8 days.

Just called up DOS, they received my Packet 3 forms.
