Packet 3 is finished. I'm just now completely obsessing over the documents I sent my fiancee. I sent them out on August 28th and they have been in Australia for 2 days now, but no update through USPS and fiancee didn't receive them yet. So, I get to stress about that now. Yippie. :jest: Now, we wait for Packet 4 and here's to hoping the papers get there before Packet 4. I still don't know if we are scheduling the interview ourself, or if one is being scheduled for us since we got expedited. I guess we'll see and find out. In the meantime, maybe I should take a xanax. Hahaha.

Hey amishbaby,

 

I contacted my senator, as well. Do you think it was just coincidence that you happened to contact them and receive the approval the same day? I'm getting close to 5 months..

Uh oh, I see why you are looking for some informed advice at the general forum here, because that's a tricky one. They always say the rule is not to send them anything they are not specifically asking for, but they also say you can get a second RFE if they see there's something missing while reviewing the petition again (if so).

I guess if you know all your info and documentary proof regarding that mistake is perfect and won't rise any more questions, you might as well send it.

You can always try to call them and explain the situation, but we all know that usually doesn't work that well :unsure:

 

Good luck with whatever you decide to do :)

yes, the stamps in the passport are required to provide ... this is important, one of the main proof, the seal of the border guard service
.. with respect to the rest .... I do not think that it is necessary to decide in advance, it is better to solve questions as they come ... over the past they probably have all the information, and therefore do not accentuate.

Thank You and Thank You @Estibaliz Kind of what I was thinking, and if by chance I do get another RFE, I will be ready to send that right back to them as well, so as it is ... additional request satisfied and overnight out this evening. If I can make it home and back to UPS or FED-EX by closing ... :blink:

Yep, once it's 'ready' and you've booked your medical you can continue by submitting the readiness form and then booking your interview! 

Can I ask what dates were available still when you called? I really wanted to get my medical done on the 21/22 if I can. Are they quite flexible or do they give you strict appointment dates to choose from? 

I'm not entirely sure haha, I asked what was the first one available and the women on the phoned said two weeks time which is the 19th. Hopefully they'll still be available! when are you going to book it?
