Upon receiving packet 3, the applicant should complete all documents requested on the checklist and obtain both the medical and police certificate. Medical takes appr. 3 days total to complete. Police Certificate takes 2 weeks but can be expedited upon request (we had ours within 3 days).

this is the issue... NVC is saying we will get a checklist if we don't have it.. but it looks like we don't get it until after its sent to the embassy ... so we are getting so many wrong answers we don't know whats right.

is packet three at the nvc stage or the embassy stage?

Packet 3 Contains:

Appointment Letter (date and time or walk-in)

DS-156 (one copy but they will need two copies for the filing)

Checklist

List for Medical Exam Facilities

Medical examinations are required for all immigrant visa applicants. Individuals must go to one of Consulate approved panel physicians.

I thought the medical was after nvc? so if its part of packet 3 isn't it after nvc?

IR1/CR1 does not apply to you. That's K1. You deal with Packet 4. You will be sending your PCC to NVC. Medical is a whole different matter that's after you get your interview letter and you take results to your interview.

UPDATE- 01/24/2015

In order to get a Police certificate/clearance from Addis Ababa, you do not need a request letter or checklist from NVC. You can just show the NOA2 to the Federal Police Forensics Office and get the clearance. It will save you 60 days of checklist.

12/08/2014 TSC approved I-130.

12/12/2014 TSC shipped case to NVC.

12/19/2014 NVC received.
