Submission of Medical Results with Packet 3

[Ni & Pa 1]

Dear All, Need some advice...

I am about the send Packet 3 to the consulate, however I have confusion regarding sending of the medical reports. Can I open the Medical reports received from the doctor or should I send the unopened (sealed) envelope along with other documents forming packet 3 to the consulate. The doctor said i can open the envelope and send reports, however in one of the topics it said to send unopened envelope.

Also do we need to send passport size photos along with packet 3 or do we have to carry it with us during the interview.

Please, can someone enlighten me.

Thanks in advance

our doctor told us NOT to open it but didn't say why. I am not sure about the passport photos, good question (we're getting ready to send packet 3 too), can anyone else help?

Unless it's different in Australia, you should not open the medical report. Both the report and passport photos are to be brought with you to the interview.

I asked a similar question to the Consulate recently. This was their reply:

Thank you for your recent inquiry.

All the documents listed on the checklist should be sent to our office with the DSL-1076.

When you have obtained all of the documents required for your case, complete and mail all of your documents (do not fax or scan) with DSL-1076 to advise the U.S. Consulate General in Sydney that you are ready for your final visa.

Generally, within 30 days of receiving the packet 3 required documents, a confirmation email will be sent to you (known as "Checklist for day of interview") regarding the scheduled time and date of the final visa interview. Please be aware, final visa interviews are scheduled for Tuesday mornings only. You will be scheduled for the first available date.

Due to the volume of applications that are processed at the U.S. Consulate, you should send all required documents by a traceable envelope (ie: express post platinum, registered post) to ensure it is delivered and received by our office. Ensure you keep the tracking number when posting the required documents. You may track your envelope for delivery by checking your tracking number on this link with Australia Post. We are unable to respond to email inquiries requesting confirmation of documents.

Kind regards

I believe both medical and photos should be included in the packet, as on the checklist.
