Hi Guys,

Sent my packet 3 off to London just before Christmas. Getting a bit nervous as I've not heard anything back from them.

Is there anything I should do?

Is anyone else still waiting?

Does anyone know how long this should take? I wanted to have my medical and interview within the next 6 weeks, so I could move to the US in mid-march. Think thats possible....?

Did you send your checklist off, or just the forms? I think you're supposed to send both off until you hear back from them..? I'm still in the process of collecting info and filling in forms. When they say send them back immediately or process will be delayed - how long do they expect us to take? How long can it be delayed by?

How long did after you received packet 3 did you return yours, Phil?

Received my packet 3 back in Oct last year. Waited till i got my police certificate (took till dec last year to come) and had to re-order my birth certificate. So I waited till i had those before sending my packet 3 forms, not the checklist (kept that). I think the date on your NOA2 is the deadline for packet 3 to be received by the London US Embassy, but don't quote me on that. I thought I'd hear back from them telling me to organise my medical. But not heard anything. I've also just read the info that came with packet 3 and it says to schedule a medical interview as soon as you receive packet 3. So now I'm going to have to call them Monday to schedule that. I hope it doesn't take to long to schedule it!

They won't schedule you an interview till you send off the checklist.

When I called to schedule my medical they offered me a next day appointment.

Just get the interview date and send the checklist. If you kept copies if the packet 3 forms send them photocopies of those too. Time from me sending the checklist to interview was just over 8 weeks.

Packet 3 tells you to organise your medical, Phil. You can do that as soon as you receive Packet 3. I'm going to try get that done next week. Sending my forms back tomorrow. Still waiting on my Police Certificate - needed for the interview.

Phil, you need to send your completed checklist off to them to let them know you're ready for your interview. Once they receive this back, they will notify you with your interview date !

Anything is possible, but you'll be lucky to get in USA by mid-March, I reckon. Good luck, though.

I'll call the medical people on tomorrow to arrange that. Once I have that done and the date I'll post off my packet 3 forms again together with the checklist. I'm so stupid, I should have read it better!

Thanks for your help

Phil
