Waiting for packet #3

[OscaN 8]

Hello , I have been waiting for packet # 3 for 18 days. The NVC sent them to the embassy in Madrid since March 19. At the website said : READY. Does anyone knows how long it can takes until they mail the packet? I already apply for DS-160, and I have all the paperwork ready. Should I email the embassy or just wait?. Appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Oooo, the website said Ready!

 

So here is my experience, when I called NVC for my case number, the officer told me that my case number was assigned and my case was in transit to my home-country's U.S. consulate.

 

He also mentioned that from here on out, if there are any questions or if I don't receive my packet 3, I should direct my enquiries to the embassy. He added that I will have to include my case number in my inquiry.

 

Fortunately, I never needed to follow those instructions, maybe you should? Seeing as the online status is ready for so long.

Ready usually means ready for interview

check with embassy as if they sent the packet,  NVC  no longer has access to your information

Hi, I have had a Similar experience with embassy in Hungary. Through a lot of research I found that once our case was ready (been ready since the 5th) we are supposed to visit a website and pay for our visa and then we can get the interview scheduled for us. My fiancée was informed through that website that only after paying for the visa an email will be sent to us (packet 3 maybe). We didn’t receive any further instructions whatsoever. When I called the embassy in Hungary they were not much help and instructed me to email, which I did. I still haven’t received a reply. I will share the link just in case it might be the same situation for your country. Good luck!

Hi,  I tried but it is not working for me. In order to select a date for the interview you must have received the letter from the embassy with the autorization to do so (Packet 4).

The only way to contact the embassy is via email. I will email them tomorrow. Thank you

My fiancée said that once he pays the visa he gets the letter to schedule the interview. Did you pay for your visa already?

No, we can not pay until they authorize you to do it.

Yes, in Spain you need to wait until they sent you the packet 3 to sent them back all the documents and after one more week they sent you packet 4 that authorize you to pay de visa fee and schedule the interview.
