Getting Medical Prior to Packet 3 Request

[ibhitchin 1]

For what it's worth, I would strongly recommend getting the Police Clearance started soon as you can. We got turned away because we didn't have a cover sheet from the Package 3, but we went back with the NOA-2 and that worked. You might be able to jumpstart it with just the NOA-1. However be aware, the PCC MAY list the NVC case number to which it applies, and you don't have that yet (we don't have our PCC yet, so I can not tell you if it does or not!)

A safer option would be to wait until you have the NVC Case number, then take the NOA-2 you will already have, and use that to get the PCC. Write your BNK number on the NOA-2.

If we had done that as soon as we got our NVC case number, I would have the PCC in hand already. It takes 15 days. But that's business days, and with all the holidays in Thailand, it could be a while. We are just over 3 weeks. That is a process you want to lean forward on!

Best of luck.
