anyone gathering the documents needed for packet3 ahead of time??? kinda overwhelming all the forms that need to be filled out. :wacko:

I had them downloaded, filled out and in an envelope addressed to the Embassy before the Consulate ever even received our case. :whistle:

That's cool! But how do you get all the forms?? I tried that and the forms are almost all expired??? I don't know what I should do to prepare ahead of time???

I'll PM you the links. :)

Hey Sienna, can you post the links here as well so I can get a jump start on the next step! I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Daniel&Karen, I assumed this was addressed to me, yes I got a touch from my phone call.

I'm planning to take the whole December off (gotta talk to my boss today), go and spend some time with my sweety. Its been 339 days since I saw her.

Kshatriya

By the way, after you called that day, have your case been updated? Last day of the week again, hope we can get our NOA2 today. :innocent:

Yes sir! Here t'is.

You can find eveyrthing you need for Package 3 here:

http://www.visajourney.com/gallery/thumbna...y&uid=30186

Print all of those out and follow the instructions. It will tell you to send in pages 1 - 4 (the "Checklist" and some other information). Note that the pages aren't in order on this link for some reason. But the pages themselves are numbered when you print them out, so make sure you have them in order.

On the first page, it will tell you all the forms you'll need to send in along with pages 1-4. You can find those here:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;page=examples

There is one form you'll have to fill out online (DS 156) and THEN print. It generates a bar code on the page that the Embassy will want. You can find that form here:

https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp

Also note that there is one form that you do NOT sign. They want you to fill it in but they want you to sign it in front of the Consulate I think. So just read your instructions carefully.

Also, I would NOT send in Packet 3 before your case leaves the NVC. You want the Embassy to have your case on file before you send them your Packet 3. So once you know your case has left NVC, wait a couple of days and then mail in Packet 3.

This should speed things up considerably!!!!

2007:

February - May: extended visit to States, engagement.

5/4: I-129F sent (Texas Service Center, forwarded to California Service Center)

5/11: Petition received at California Service Center.

5/16: Check cleared. NOA1 online (no hard copy received yet)

6/19: NOA1 hard copy arrived FINALLY

7/16: Sent off for Police Certificate (U.K.)

8/22: TOUCHED due to phone call (RFE Trick, was told case wasn't assigned yet)

9/20:APPROVED!!! After 127 days from NOA1 and 139 days from filing date.

10/23: Spoke to Kelly at NVC who said they should have received our petition by now. She advised I send a copy of our NOA2 directly to the NVC office, which I did immediately. :-)

10/26: NVC RECEIVES CASE!

10/30: NVC SENDS CASE TO LONDON CONSULATE

11/1: Consulate receives case in London AND sends out Packet 3.

11/6: Sent Packet 3 to Consulate (we'd downloaded the forms on VJ and had them completed already)

God i want to be there so bad...The NVC stage...as i sure poor Mirla does too!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sure want to! We already sent the RFE back, signed and marked as they asked to. Listen everyone, Byron, we can't lose our faith here....this might be making us feel like ####### cause we've been waiting so long for this....for something that we really want in life and only God knows how much we want this but after all this waiting, only good things will come for us. We'll be rewarded and I'm sure God has big plans for us waiting....let's just keep thinking positive and I'm sure Byron, your approval will come very very soon!!!!
