How long does it usually take for Montreal embassy to send Packet 4?

Hi all!

My fiance and I filed our K1 Visa application in February. NOA1 and NOA2 were received fairly promptly.

Unfortunately, I never received my packet 3. After waiting a month, I finally did some research and found that it seems to be typical that packet 3 isn't sent out at all..or "lost" in the mail. I sent off packet 3 and Montreal just received it, as per usps tracking. How long will it take them to mail off packet 4? I'm afraid that they won't send it, same as packet 3, or it might get "lost in the mail."

Also just wondering what other February 2013 filers' timeline is like so far that have to deal with the Montreal Embassy.

Thanks to all the responses in advance :-)

it took them a couple weeks to send out my packet 4 after they received packet 3. I never did get packet 3 in the mail... and i got packet 4 sent to my e-mail. Keep calling DOS every few days and ask them if it's been sent out

Thanks for that! Just wondering if you had to show a physical appointment letter to the panel physician when you got your medical. I'm afraid that if I never receive a packet 4 in the mail, but have been advised by DOS that that it's okay to book an interview, that panel doctor won't make an appointment for me without a letter/document to show them that I'm okay to schedule a medical.

Because I got packet 4 by e-mail I printed it off and used that. You do need packet 4 with the case number on it at the appointment.
