We got packet 3! ...at my fiancee's OLD address where she hasn't lived for two years. /eyeroll

We're lucky she's still in touch with someone who lives there. Anybody else get screw-ups like this from the Amsterdam consulate?

How is that possible? Was that the address on the petition? Did your application take that long?

Haha ja meer omdat je niet weet wat je te wachten staat idd. 

Wat voor vragen worden er een beetje gesteld? Of je aandoeningen hebt of iets dergelijks? Ik heb een deel van de papieren al klaar (diagnose en schrijven van een arts, operatie verleden etc.)

Ja ik breek vast mijn nek nu over onzin dingen en ben mij volgens mij aan het voorbereiden op een medical voor een astronaut of iets haha! 

Kleine en ik zijn. Nu idd naar de laatste dingen aan het gaan die we nog willen zien (theater woezel en pip, Blijdorp enzo) 

 

Gestelde vragen weet ik niet allemaal meer. Hij vroeg vragen nav de check list. Oa of je rookt(e), drugs gebruikt(e), of je zwanger bent, of je medicijnen gebruikt, of je aandoeningen hebt etc. Erg standaard hoor. Ik heb meerdere oor operaties en een hernia operatie gehad. Heb het geloof ik wel genoemd, maar geprobeerd zo vaag mogelijk te houden, want het zijn/waren geen huidig spelende dingen. Heb daar geen documenten van meegenomen (werd ook niet om gevraagd). Dus op die vraag: ja, operaties in het verleden aan zus en zo, nee, geen last meer van. 

 

Zou alleen diagnose van arts en/of operatie verleden meenemen als het iets heel ernstigs is en/of iets is dat nog speelt.  Of, anders in je tas stoppen, beetje vaag houden en alleen laten zien als het ter sprake komt/er vragen over gesteld worden.

Btw met een depressie verleden wel van belang om schrijven van (huis)arts mee te nemen, heb hier op VJ meerdere verhalen gelezen dat daar dan wel om gevraagd word als dat ter sprake komt (ivm gevaar voor jezelf en anderen kunnen zijn).

Can anyone please tell me if a wet signature is required on the I-134 form? Or is a scanned one also fine? 

Some embassies seem to be icky about scans. Not sure about Amsterdam, but just in case, my husband and I had wet signatures on everything that required a signature.

He actually decided to print just the signature page of the I-134, leaving it up to me to print the rest of the form. Only thing we had forgotten about/not realized is the different paper size.... So I had a whole I-134 in A-4 and just the signature page in letter size 😂 I just shoved that page between the rest. Interview guy flipped through the papers, but didn't mention it. Everything fine

That address appeared in the "past addresses" section, so I can only assume they misread it.

Ok, thank you very much! I will also just do both, just to be sure. Glad it worked out for you!

Ah right! That's indeed strange! And the first time I've heard that mistake made.......

Is it possible to book your medical in Amsterdam after receiving your casenumer? or did u guys have to wait untill there was a specific interview date?

U can book the medical the moment you have your NVC case number AMS2019------- something like that probably

Just be sure to get interview scheduled within 6 months(i think? double check this, I can't right now i actually have my interview today) after getting the medical, else it expires

Yes, it is possible. As said before, make sure your interview is not too far from your medical (minimum of 10 days tho cause of the TB and Gonorrhea test), since your visa will be valid 6 months from the medical date. But when I did my interview in Amsterdam in 2018, it was a waiting time of about 2 months from case received at consulate to interview.

Hiya, only just saw your post now. I'm waiting on my GC! Filed for AOS in June 2018. Got my EAD/AP in October. Current processing is about 5.5 months, so you have a little more to go! 

 

Edit to add: just looked at your timeline, ours is very similar! Except that you scheduled your interview later than me and all the steps following with more delay.

I called the doctor after I got my first packet  (3? I don't remember which ones anymore). With that packet I was able to see the available interview times, but since you need 10 days between medical and interview I'd say, go ahead and schedule medical and based off that date schedule your interview. I think I had to wait 2 (or 3?) weeks till a medical appt was available.

Did anyone schedule their interview before receiving P3?

You can't, because packet 3 includes a slip of paper that you need to send back to the consulate. That piece of paper is the "Appointment Request Form". See below the pic I took of it back in Feb 2018. After the consulate receives that, they will send you packet 4.
