That varys from embassy to embassy. Some are run better than others and are more customer oriented. Some, like El Salvador, have a history of inefficiency and many reasons for delay. It would probably be good if you did a timeline search for others in your situation. I think it is under processing times or immigration timelines. May you recieve packet 3 tomorrow!!!!

Does every Consulate have the capability to send the packet 3 via e-mail??? That would be awesome if that is the case. You see, I am stressing because we both work on cruise ships, and right now we are working. Soooo ... we were thinking that he had to quit and leave AS SOON AS THAT PACKET REACHED!!! We don't want him to have to leave now so he can go home and sit for no reason when we could a) still both be working, but most importantly B) still be together!!! So confusing! :blush::unsure::hehe::unsure:

I just received my packet 3 via email from the Consulate in Naples. I asked for it and they did send it.

They replied in 3 days despite the automatic reply said it would have taken 2 week to reply.
