typically you don't send packet 3... you bring it the day of the interview

1. $350. I checked information and you will pay that in NZD at the current rate of exchange. That rate will be in your appointment letter.

2. You will pay it at the Consulate in Auckland.

I did check there it said $455.00, and if you take packet 3 to the interview then what is packet 4?

I looked on NZ website and it said $455.00, where did you find your in? And will he need to drive the 3 hours to pay it and can he pay on day if interview so he isnt making so many trips? Thank you

UGHHHHH so confused, i figured maybe I would try to move things along by getting stuff done sooner but I am thinking maybe we should wait for the packet with exact instructions rather then mess things up and have to wait longer ne way.

For the Auckland consulate, the beneficiary will pay NZ$455.00 at the interview. This can be paid in cash or by bank/cashier's check (NOT personal check) only. The details on this are in Packet 3 that the beneficiary will get in the mail.

Packet 3 is a checklist that is mailed to the beneficiary. Once the beneficiary gets it they need to gather all the documents, sign off the checklist to confirm they are ready to set an interview date, and mail the checklist + documents back to the consulate.

Once the consulate has received and reviewed Packet 3, they will send the beneficiary Packet 4 which is just a letter with an interview date.

The Auckland consulate seems to be pretty quick to respond with Packet 4 once they receive Packet 3 back - it was only eight days from when I mailed back Packet 3 to when I received Packet 4 with the interview date. And then the interview was only 18 days later, quick compared to a lot of other consulates.

For Packet 3, the beneficiary will need to mail in all the documents on the checklist except for his passport, the visa fee and proof of relationship, which is brought to the interview. This is noted on Packet 3 instructions.

If you haven't done so already, you will need to download form I-134 (can be found on USCIS site), complete this and send to the beneficiary, along with proof of your income. The beneficiary needs to mail this in with Packet 3 before an interview date is given.

The address to send your Packet 3 to will be noted on the Packet 3 instructions.

If the Auckland consulate has received your petition from NVC then it shouldn't be very long at all until the beneficiary receives the Packet 3 instructions.

Listen to cacahuete - it's US$350 - but NZ$455. Your packet will tell you everything that you need to know. good luck! (Ps - packet 3 is everything you'll need for the interview - packet 4 says when your interview is.)
