What is in Packet 3.5? (Islamabad embassy Pakistan)

[Data Sheet 0]

Even though I am waiting for I-126F NOA2 which can come any day now, I would like to know what documents should I be preparing for consulate.

I have applied K-3 for my spouse in Pakistan.

Thanks for any input!

Data Sheet,

'Packet 3.5' is a term that has been coined for the immigrant visa process, since the old 'packet' terminology (the packet system was done away with years ago) no longer accurately reflects the current process for immigrant visas.

Packet 3 might more appropriately be called the visa application materials and packet 4 might more appropriately be called the interview notification, both of which used to come from the consulate and they still do for the K visas. But for the immigrant visas there are now also visa application mailings coming from the NVC, and for some countries the NVC collects all of the visa application documents and schedules the interview.

We received paket 3.5 and have just completed the documents and my husband will be sending it to Islamabad today. It included the following 16 pages

Cover letter with case number and instructions to send the following:

TWO FORMS DS 156 (ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED)

FORMS DS 156K (ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED) THIS FORM APPLIES ON K-1 VISAS ONLY

FORMS DS 157

FORM DS 230 (PART 1 ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED) note we filled out part 2 just in case they change their mind...figured they could throw it away if they don't need it

PARENT INFORMATION FORM (INCLUDED IN PACKET)

BIRTH CERTIFICATE (ORIGINAL AND TRANSLATION PLUS A COPY OF EACH)

DEATH CERTIFICATE (IF PREVIOUS SPOUSE DECEASED)

DIVORCE CERTIFICATE IF APPLICANT OR PETITIONER PREVIOUSLY MARRIED

CREDIBLE EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT SUCH AS: I-134 FROM PETITIONER

COPIES OF SPONSORS FEDERAL TAX RETURNS FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR

COPY OF PASSPORT (VALID FOR 12 MONTHS AFTER THE INTERVIEW DATE)

POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE FROM NEAREST POLICE STATION

They included lists of approved doctors for the medical exam, lists of approved couriers for packet delivery, the parent information form, and the DS 156 and DS230 forms....however you can get these at travel.state.gov and fill them out online and it looks so much better!

Hope this helps! oh, and your birth certificate translation must have a certification from the translator with their name and verifying that the translation is correct.
