Time Enough for Holiday before notice arrives?

[stockmktgenius 0]

Thanks, first of all, to everyone who shared thoughts last time I asked. I much appreciate it.

On April 12, I was notified (in California) that my wife was approved for both I-129 and I-130. On May 2, I was notified there that her info would be transferred to the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand.

Question: How long is it likely to take for them to notify her? And will they send her something we have to be in Thailand to receive in order to proceed with the process as quickly as possible?

We would like to visit friends in Australia later this month (May23 is when we were thinking of going), but could delay that if our going will hold up processing her visa.

Thanks again for any thoughts.

We are in very similar situation.

I think you should prep all forms from the coming packet 3 docs they will send.

We have done that & believe it may save us up to a month.

When the time is right I am going to attempt to let them know we have docs ready now & ask them to accept them without waiting for them to mail us again.

Forms can be found thru this site.

Thanks for your reply. I guess what I really need to know is what do they send with packet 3? If it's just a notice of our appointment a month later and I have to reply to them saying I'll be there, fine. I can have that shipped from Thailand to Australia. But if packet 3 has medical forms I need to fill out, or police clearance, that would be impossible to do from Australia. I did look up the forms as you suggested here, and for married people like us, they only have I-129 and I-130, which we've already filled out. (Or did I not look in the right place?) Thanks to all for any help you can give.
