PACKET 4 WAITING TIME WORRIED :(

[YNWA 0]

i just had my medical today and then called the US embassy afterwards to pay my visa fee but they would not let me until i receive packet 4.

I also asked the guy if they have received my packet 3 (which i know they did as it was signed for special delivery on fri) and the guy said nothing has been logged onto the system however there is a 2-4 weeks delay for DS230 to be loaded onto the system.

I then asked him how long it will be till io receive packet 4 and the guy said 'well after the forms have been checked and the DS230 loaded onto the system it could take between 3-6 monts for the visa to process'

PLEASEEEEEEEE TELL ME THIS GUY IS JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOKING AT EVERY PERSONS TIMELINE, NO ONE HAS TAKEN THAT LONG! TALK ABOUT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND PULSE RACING!

I HAVE A FEELING I WON'T BE MAKING MY WEDDING IN AUGUST AFTER ALL, HIS IS TAKING LONGER THAN THE NOA1 - NOA2!!

Well, who ever you spoke to was not very well informed.

I paid my MRV fee on the day of my medical, well before my packet 4.

Calm down and PM me if you need any help

You will make your August wedding... it's only just March still. You will be fine.

And whoever you spoke with wasn't well-informed. You can pay for your visa well before packet 4 is issued. As long as you have your case number (I see that you do as you did your medical and posted in your packet 3), you can pay.

I really hope so! But according to them it takes about 3 - 6 mnths to process after packet 3 but that's the guideline they r usinng and I hope its not true

Really?! From when we returned out packet 3, it was less than 20 days for it to be turned around, visa in hand. Plane tickets purchased!

Don't worry, you'll be fine, you WILL have your August wedding!!

Phone the exortion line again tomorrow, and say you would like to pay the fee for your K1 visa. They'll ask you for your London case no, passport no and contact details. Then you give them your payment details, it's done and you'll receive the email receipt that you'll print and take to your interview.

And if you get the same (insert expletive) person that you were unfortunate to speak to earlier, ask to speak to someone else

It took London two weeks to log my packet 3, but then the interview was scheduled very quickly after that. 26 days from sending packet 3 to interview.

For more accurate info on your case I would suggest calling the DOS. Just keep checking in with them every few days, firstly to find out when packet 3 has been logged, then when your interview is scheduled. Don't hang around waiting for paperwork from London.
