Hello VJ!

Next week I'm going to Thailand for Valentines Day and our engagement ceremony. We have confirmation that our petition left NVC on 1/29. I was hoping packet 3 would be waiting in Thailand when I arrive, but now I'm not so sure. I haven't heard anything since 1/29 :crying:

Since I'll be with Pu, I'd like to do the health screening and vaccinations. However, the appointment center said I had to have the docs from the Embassy (packet 3) before we go for the screening. All the Packet 3 docs are available on VJ and the US Embassy website. Can we go get the health screening done before packet 3 arrives, or should she wait??? I noticed many timelines return packet 3 the same day it arrives, so I think it is possible to prepare forms ahead of time, just not too far ahead.

Help :help:

Nevermind...just got a reply from the Embassy in Bangkok. They said Packet 3 mailed yesterday :dance:

and that is OK to download the forms from the internet and proceed with the health screening if you know you are close to receiving packet 3.

Dear Sir,

We have mailed the Packet 3 to this address on February 7, 2007.

BANGKOK 10520

Actually, the applicant can have the medical examination with the designated hospital without waiting for the mailed Packet 3 as the vaccination forms and others can be downloaded from the internet.

Have you got this following instruction yet?

Anyway, if the above address is valid, the applicant will receive the mailed Packet 3 very soon.

Regards,

Correspondence Unit
