Hey everyone!!

Just a bit of confusion atm.

My fiance and I are in the finishing touches of our Visa. We've received packet 1 and packet 3...but no packet 2????? What exactly is packet 2???

Also, the police in Australia will not hand over a fingerprint check. They said that it has to be sent directly to the officials requesting it, I am curious to know that if the Police check, the medical examination and the visa documentation were to be sent separately would that be OK. I am thinking that they are expecting it all as one package.

Thanks for your help again, as always. =)

What do you mean by packet 1 and 2? Are you referring to NOA's 1 & 2? The only things that you receive from the Sydney consulate is Packet 3 (which includes info on how to apply for the visa on the Sydney end) and Packet 4 (which is simply just your interview date and time).

Regarding your police check... it may depend on what state you are in. I live in NSW and the police had no problem forwarding the fingerprint/name check directly to my home address.

It is probably in your best interest to send all the forms/documentation together in one pack. Nothing can be processed until they receive all your paperwork anyway. Things may get lost/misplaced/never matched up etc.

Hope this helps, Good luck!

You need to update your timeline it says you NOA1 receipt back in September? Not likely that Australia takes that long to approve. Not sure what you are talking baout packet 1 and 3 and no 2 please explain

"Packet 1" is the first notice of action from USCIS that says they've received your petition. "Packet 2" is the second notice of action from USCIS that says they've approved your petition. "Packet 3" is a set of instructions from the consulate that tells you how to notify the consulate that you're ready to be scheduled for an interview. "Packet 4" is your interview appointment letter and instructions on what to bring to the interview.
