My fiance is from Barbados and the Embassy mailed him the packet on 8/8 and he received it next day--no issues

Hey Ashley, I just saw this. I actually replied to your posted thread. I usually get responses on my phone, this one I didn't for some reason.

NVC said the embassy sent packet three to Grenada yesterday so I'm hoping he will get it next week some time.

Please keep me posted as to the time frame for interview date and all the happenings at the interview. I'm so excited and I know you are as well.

Best of luck and keep me posted

Thanks

Hey Ashley,

Do you have to pay the fees there at the embassy or in advance? What about the AOS fee?

Thanks .....he is still waiting for packet three.

From my understanding the fee can be paid at the embassy--I would email and confirm--I will as well.

The AOS fee is in regards to Adjustment of Status right? That will happen once your fiance is here and I believe that is filed with the form when you submit it to USCIS

Hope this helps!
