Packets - India

[sadob 0]

Hi, my case was completed at NVC and they have sent it to Mumbai, what is the next step? Will they send the packet 3 next? Can I just mail them the packet 3 since it is downloadable from the internet? If anyone has gone thru this, can they plz help. Thanks so much.

Hi....I'm not dealing with India but from what I have read you have to wait until they send you stuff from packet 3 before you can submit it--even if they have downloadable forms on the internet. Have you gone into the regional forum: India , to post this question? You might get more answers there. Again....I'm not sure about what happens with India, I'm just going by what I have seen otherwise. Do check the India forum though.

best of luck

Hi this is tani,

If my memory serves me well. the NVC sends package 3 to Bombay and then Bombay sends it to you.

This is the website: http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/uploads/imag...eQ/packeta1.pdf

You do step 1 and send it to them

And then step 2 is done after you send them step one or even before you get the package 3 from them. You need all those stuff by the interview.

you wait for package 4 which is the interview letter. telling you what date it is, usually 4-6 weeks after they get step 1 from you.

Good luck

When was your file sent to Mumbai? I would call or e-mail the mumabi office to get clarification on what the next steps are. I would imagine when the mumbai office schedules your interview, they'll send you the appointment letter with instructions on what to do.

If you're under K1..the embassy will post you Packet 3 with DS-230 Part 1 form with checklist.Where you have to collect everything whats it mentioned in check list. AFter collecting all papers, send the check list and ds-230 Part 1 form to Embassy. Yes you can download as well from the site. But complete the check list first. After that you will recieve Packet 4 from Embassy with Interview letter...hope this information may brings some good work for you...Best Wishes...

Hello devblt,

Was your question for me or for sadob..???

If you were asking generally, than my file went to Mumbai on Oct. 06, 2005. At that time I was Green Card Holder, now that I became USC, I sent them my certi. and proof of approval file letter. I just want to know if anyone have done this things before how long does it take for Mumbai consuler to upgrade a file.

And for how long should I wait before calling the embassay.?

All responses are greatfully appreciated..!!!

It was for Sabod...

In your case, when did you become a citizen and when did you send your citizen certificate to Mumbai? Have you also sent your citizen certificate to NVC? If you have not sent it to NVC, I would contact them by phone, and ask for advise on what needs to be done given your change in circumstances. I would also contact the Mumbai office to see if they have received your certificate, and enquire on next steps.

Unfortunately, I'm not in your situation so I cant give you any specific information. Again try calling both the NVC and the Mumbai office to make sure they know you are a citizen now, and that the case should be made current, and hopefully they'll upgrade your petition and schedule your appointment for March/April

good luck.

I checked with the NVC and received their letter that they have sent the file to Mumbai, the case is CR1 and i already send the DS 230 part 1 to NVC, so does it have to be done again with the packet 3? Can I still send the packet 3 or do they just send me packet 4? Thank you for your help in advance.

No I don't believe you need to send in another DS230 part 1 again. When Mumbai schedule the interview, they'll send you packet 4 - the appointment letter. I would e-mail the Mumbai consulate to ask when your interview will be scheduled.

When did the NVC tell you that they sent the file to Mumbai?

You can also check the Mumbai consulate website as they post the schedule of interviews for the next month of the 15th of every month.

The DS230 part 1 you sent to NVC was in effect the packet 3. If your case was went to NVC in early Jan, then you should be in line for an appointment in March (appointment letter will be sent to you - packet 4). Check out the link schedule on 16/17 feb for your appointment date (look for your nvc case #). If it's not on the schedule than e-mail the mumbai consulate
