Packet 3 to Packet 4 timeframe

Do you have a copy of your DS-160? Double check the email address for typos. I had both of our emails put in and P4 arrived to both. Just a thought.

When is the DS-160 supposed to be submitted? I thought that was done after receipt of the email from the embassy? Can I go ahead and do that?

In our case a confirmation page of DS-160 e-fill was listed to be mailed with P3 docs to consulate. If you are past that point I'd do it right away.

During these past 3 months, did you have any updates on ceac? Maybe some sort of AP is going on? Did you speak to DOS?

If there are no updates and you can't get any responses I would personally try to assemble another P3 packet including DS-160 confirmation page this time and the rest of required items, perhaps that could trigger something. I don't think there would be any reprecussions for sending additional documents.

We got a confirmation on October 22 that they received our documents after we submitted a question on the web site. After that, nothing. I just submitted a request for status last night. The letter she received did mentioned completing a DS-160 after she was notified, so we didn't do it right away.

The DS-160 says she must fill it out. Can I do that for her and have her sign it when I am done? I really believe my lawyer has been lax in helping us.

It's all electronic. She can login and finalize it once you are done I suppose.

The P4 email finally came. I sent in a last hail mary email on their website basically begging for a response, and today the P4 email came. I am inclined to think that our application fell on the floor behind someones desk, and that my email finally made them look for it.....or it could a be coincidence. Either way, we are no longer blocked.

Just curious, but did your P3 request only ask for the DS-230, copy of personal page of passport and two passport photos? We went over the letter she received and see that is all they asked for.

It asked for the DS160, passport page, and 2 photos. No DS230 was mentioned.

Congrats!

Thanks much! And thank you and the others on this board that gave me excellent advice and council. One thing I will say, never count out talking to your senator(s) if needed. Her interview is January 29. Awesome. Thanks again for your help.
