K1 Visa Packet 3 Before/ After scheduling Interview

[Hunter & Robyn 10]

Hey guys,

 

I have a question that may sound a little silly. Our case has been approved, we were issued our case number, and the embassy in South Africa received our case. The case was received by the U.S. Embassy in Johannesburg on the 9th of April. My question is, do I have to wait for them to contact me first by sending the Packet 3 before registering my appointment for the interview on the website. If so, how long does it take to typically receive Packet 3?

 

Thank you so much!

you  need to have the information about the medical exam before anything 

Packet 3 may just be an email to tell you the next steps 

you will have to print out the paper that says "take this paper to the dr appointment"

not sure how south africa does the scheduling but 1st things 1st will be the letter for medical

Every consulate is different.   If I was to wait for an email, I would still be waiting.   You need an SA specific answer.

Thank you so much! Much appreciated!

 

I got a message from a South African applicant, and they received their packet 3 before scheduling their appointment. I've sent a message to the embassy just in case. Many thanks!
