This is confusing now. I got packet 4 with the date of the K1 interview but never received packet 3. My visa interview is on 8th of March. On delhi embassy website, they just ask to bring all the documents to the interview. Even the packet 4 mentions that I need to bring the documents ( including DS 230 part 1) to the interview. I called the ustraveldocs helpline number but they had no clue.

My question is - do I need to send packet 3 to the embassy before the interview ? Can anyone shed some light on this ? I am thinking about just dropping packet 3 at the embassy tomorrow just to be on the safe side.

Have you checked Embassy page?

It's different for each consulate. In our case, it can all be brought to the interview.

Congrats on your interview date! Ours is 12th of March.

all the government forms are available online - I would check your embassy's requirements or e-mail them regarding packet 3. I didn't have to send in my packet 3, just fax them a check-list and bring the forms to the actual interview.

You are no longer required to submit packet 3. You take your packet 3 and packet 4 forms at the time of the interview. Just go onto Delhi consulate website and print out all the forms and follow instruction. You also need your medical and PCC done before going to the interview.
