Hi guys so I’m waiting for our case to reach the Saudi embassy. I was able to find packet 3 that someone else posted from Riyadh. I had a few questions maybe someone will know. My fiancé isn’t a Saudi National and he doesn’t have a birth certificate but it’s a required document. Also it seems like the embassy wants all the documents collected sent to them via mail, But does that mean we still need to take the documents to the interview? And afterwards can we schedule the interview or do we have to wait for packet 4?

I'll relay our method for Thailand with regard to the documents.   Our P3 instruction indicates which documents they want copies..........birth cert, marriage certs, divorce certs, name change, etc.   It also indicates which documents it wants originals.....Police report, bank receipt, DS 160 confirmation, etc.   When we prepared P3, we followed those instructions to the letter.  For the docs where they want the copies, we put the originals in our folder.  For the docs where they wanted originals, we put copies in our folder.   So in effect, we have a mirror image of all the documents we are sending to them and she is taking our file with her to the interview.  Our P3 instructions tell her to bring the originals (of the copies she sent) to the interview.  They are neatly organized into a folder so no biggie.  

With regard to the birth cert, there is some instruction to follow when a birth cert is not available, and that is very common in Saudi.  Unfortunately I cannot answer that question or the one with regard to when you can schedule the interview.

First Saudi application I've seen here.   I lived in Dhahran for many years.

Do a Google search for a way of getting the birth certificate or check in with the sub-forum for your area. Go to the top of this page, in the blue ribbon select "forums" then scroll 3/4 of the way down the page and look for your region. People there can answer your questions.

I will for sure I don't think there is. I posted my medical experience in there so ill probably do the same for the interview when I get that over with! But I've noticed a bunch of people in the UK forum don't seem to know this thread exists so are a bit out of the loop when it comes to shipment updates and stuff we all talk about in here. I'd be lost without the help in this thread. It's made the whole process much easier

This whole website has been a Godsend (for lack of a better term) and I especially owe a lot of thanks to @Greenbaum for the amount of knowledge and expertise he provides. I'm so glad to be part of this community!

@Greenbaum do you have the P3 for Ireland? 

[DanielPlainview 368]

Bangkok........DELIVERED !!!  

 

Departed Wednesday at 2pm EST, arrives Bangkok the equivalent of Friday midnight EST.   58 hours?........not too shabby.  No where near an electronic transfer, but not exactly snail mail.

Thanks Faisal.   You know, right after we got the NOA2,  I made some projections (based on timelines from others) on when we would have the interview and the visa in hand.    I guessed interview by April 6 and visa by April 13.    But that was based on NVC sending to Embassy on Feb 22 and instead we went on March 5.   But it appears we might still have a shot at making those original dates because it seems the Thai embassy is scheduling interviews in 15-25 days now.   So fingers crossed.    Thanks again !

 

Oh, and ALWAYS update your timelines !!   It's so completely helpful to others.   And when you update, it gives others information on the CURRENT situation.   Many thanks to all those who update.
