Hmmm....

I just came back from the Embassy and the officer said it's okay to enter without the ID as long as there is a passport.

Just going by what she told me CM. Maybe it's a different door

I got my packet 3 01/12/08. Yeah, they send it to me and not to my fiancee in cambodia. I don't know when they

sent it. Because my lawyer(waste of money) got it and didn't send me all the stuff, only the packet 3.

Q: what if you messed up, can you submit another DS-156 online?

7- I fill out form DS-230 (done)

8- I fill out form DS-156(K) (done)

9- I fill out form DS-157 (done)

I will get it notoried.

I will include photocopies of my 1099 misc (04,05,06).

I will include photocopy of my property tax form showing I own the house.

i want to submit these forms asap, but I can't get my tax transcripts for 04,05,06 yet, but they are coming

Q: should I wait to get my tax transcripts?

Q: will they accept photocopies of my 1099 misc income (04,05,06) and property tax form

or will they want originals?

11- Tell my fiancee to fill out form I-93 DSL-1076

12- Tell my fiancee to sign all the forms that need her signature

12- Tell my fiancee to put together evidence of support

-photos of us together in PP

-printout of phone calls from her to me in the US. I have phones cards, but I can't send them to her, but

plan to bring them with to the interview

-letter of intent

That is pretty all that we have.

Q: Will they be enough?

13- Tell my fiancee to package all that up and mail it to the Embassy in PP

Q: What is the best to way to get it mailed to the Embassy in PP? Can she use DHL in PP so that there

is tracking? Or do I have to send it myself from the US?

Q: Do I have everything covered to get to Pak 4?

Q: When should I expect pak 4 after I sent everything?

Q: When should I start emailing them asking about the interview date?

Any comment, advice or help will be appreciated.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I was so excited to get pak 3 that I booked a ticket to go to Cambodia next month. Is this wise? Will I miss important letters they might send me? Or can I get all that in Cambodia?

You need to send the signed I93, ds 230 part 1, 2 photos, copy of the first page of the passport. This will get you in line for the an interview date.

Jeff, so that is all I need to get in line for the interview. But bring the other stuff along at the interview time, right?

Correct Navy, everything you check off on the I-93 checklist that applies to you. Thats what you bring.

[navy 0]

Well, I am going to head off to Cambodia in February. I hope they send p4 to my fiancee. Otherwise I am not sure what will happen because I am not home to check my mail.

I really hope they send it to my fiancee. I hope and pray everything will go well and I can bring my fiancee home when I return.

Cambodian K-1 Packet 3's always go to the petitioner. Don't ask me why. That is why you download them and have the applicant fill them out or you fill them out ahead of time and send them to her. It is much faster then wait until it finally gets here via snail mail. Once I found out the embassy (BKK) had her petition We waited 3 days then sent in the checklist and the other things they asked for. We had our interview date before I received packet 3.

Thanks Sam, I guess what I need is a recent checklist so I know specifically what they want..

Jeff

hi, the Consulate sent Package3 via Email to me, if u want i can forward u the attachement.

Hi Dustin, do you still have Package 3?

-Do you have any idea how long it take to get Package 3 from US embassy in Phnom Penh?

(My file left NVC since 01/03/08)

-Does the "embassy always replied next business day?"

(I e-mailed them on 01/15/08 and I've nerver got a response)

- Is this "2nd IV InquiryPHP2007******beneficiary last name" the correct subject to e-mail the embassy in PP?

I am not sure what to do next.

-Should I wait, call or e-mail them again?

Sorry to ask these questions. Please help.

They sent pack 4 to me navy, postal mail here in the usa. Don't see anyone else here on the forum getting it any other way lately. Maybe you can get someone to check yr postal mail while you are gone.

Hi Dustin, do you still have Package 3?

Send me a PM with yr email address

-Do you have any idea how long it take to get Package 3 from US embassy in Phnom Penh?

(My file left NVC since 01/03/08)

Did you get yr NVC letter in the postal mail yet?

-Does the "embassy always replied next business day?"

I never got a pack 3 from them. No they do not respond the next day.

(I e-mailed them on 01/15/08 and I've nerver got a response)

I had to email them everyday until I got a response, about a week

- Is this "2nd IV InquiryPHP2007******beneficiary last name" the correct subject to e-mail the embassy in PP?

correct

I am not sure what to do next.

Could call the nation visa office in Washington DC.

-Should I wait, call or e-mail them again?

I could not call them, email only. That is why you call the National visa office, they can tell you what is happening about yr case.

I checked with DOS and they told me that my P3 was returned because of wrong address. Well, I got P3 here in the US, filled it out and sent in. But my fiancee never saw or heard anything about P3 until I got it here in the US and send to her.

Looking at this page http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/inde...;cty=Phnom+Penh

It looks like you can call or email to setup and interview date once they received P3. Is this POSSIBLE?

They hardly answer email or phone and when they do, they don't give you a straight answer.

Navy, I tried calling many times. The one time I got thru, the consulate operator give me the non immigrant IV unit. I asked this guy for the IV unit and he told me you got to email them. I never did get to talk to the IV unit. The interview date is set up by the IV unit when they have received the I93 checklist and the other stuff I have said. Once you get them to acknowledge receipt of those, then they tell you it will take 10 to 12 weeks to get an appointment (pack 4). This is what I was told by them. It did not take us that long, but you might be ready for this just in case.

They hardly answer email or phone and when they do, they don't give you a straight answer.

Yup, email wise was hard sometimes to understand them. Just ask or look for the appointment receipt email. You got to email them everyday for an answer, once you send in all the forms. Just telling you what happen to me. Don't claim for this to be the correct way.

The first email I sent, I got a reply back with instruction on how to email them, fax, etc...

I have sent 3 more emails after following the instruction. Nothing yet, no reply whatsoever.

It is a blackhole over there.

Hi Navy, I e-mailed them twice, two week apart, no answer. I only want to know if my case reaches the embassy yet.

It left NVC in the early week of January, almost 4 weeks now.

How long did you receive your Package3 after it arrived at the embassy?

Thanks,

Naly, if I remember correct, NVC got my case then forward it to the embassy in PP. That was back in mid november 07. I got pak4 in mid january 08. So about two months.

Navy. what part of Ca are you from. We are in Crescent City. Just wondering. My wife is the only Cambodian in our town.

Did you track your case via DHL? to see when it got to the embassy. If you know the date it was sent you can find out what day it arrived there. Once you find that out you can figure how long for them to enter it in their system then send your checklist. I don't know for sure about Phnom Penh but this is what we did in Bangkok.

I know if you wait for the packet 3 to come then send it from the states it will take forever.
