Hi @Greenbaum I recently got my NOA2 approved, my fiancée is in India (Consulate will be in Mumbai). I know it will take a few weeks to get the application to NVC before I get my number. I am trying to sign up for an account today. My question was, is there anything we can do in the mean time to get ahead of the curve? Can she get her Police Clearance certificate or medical, or can either of us finish up some forms (DS-160, anything on her end)? Also what's a packet 3 or packet 4 and does such a thing exist for the Mumbai consulate? Any other helpful information and your help is really appreciated.

How did you go about doing that, the website only really has a form for inquiries? Is there a Login/Register button I missed?

Read the PDF file on the first page, first post to learn more about what you can do now at the stage are.

@Greenbaum has provided this information many times in the PDF. It’s the first post in this forum. It tells you everything you need to do.

Hello All!!! Our case was approved today. I have looked at the PDF on the 1st page of this post. I have a few questions that I am having trouble putting into words, but I will try after I have read the document once more. As for right now, can someone kindly tell me if there's a forum for the Guyana Consulate? Also, what is P3 and how do I get that?

 

I appreciate any help I can get, as I am not so knowledgeable on what is expected of me or what happens after the approval. THANK YOU ALL!!!  

 

For reference-

Case received: 10/25/19

NOA1: 11/01/19

NOA2: Updated online today. Pending hard copy... awaiting its arrival in the mail.

Hey guys! Eventually we were able to call the NVC and get our Case Number:)))

@Greenbaum

Ran across this link to the DOS to where to get that DS-5540 questionnaire. You might would like to include it in your  NVC tips and tricks along with a statement suggesting everyone fill it out and have it ready in case they need it to avoid a 221g at the interview. Since things are so unsure now until they smooth out.

Thanks for the link. Your idea of updating the PDF is good, and I will do that.

Q1 Also, what is P3, and how do I get that? I found out from this guy named Greenbaum, who also authored the PDF, states that he has most of the P3 letters. At least that's what he says in the PDF. 

 

P3 letter with instructions

All medical exams are done in Guyana. 2 doctors can do it—once your case gets to the embassy, they’ll email you and you’ll schedule an appointment with them for the interview. Once you have the interview date, you’ll call or email one of the physicians on the list and tell them your interview date. They’ll give you a date within five or so days before the interview so you have enough time to do the exam and get your results to take with you to the embassy.

 

Q2 Is there a forum for the Guyana Consulate? No.

More specifically not for your consulate, but there is one for the regions where Guyana is situated. So looking at the list of links in the PDF, the one that I would choose is the Caribbean, as that is the one that most reflects the regional area that Guyana finds itself in.

Now you have everything you need. Greenbaum stated a while back that he created the PDF file because he was constantly being asked all the questions/information in the PDF file over and over. It just took up too much of his time to help with the answers over and over. See where I'm going with this? Everything you asked for in your post here is in that PDF file. Greenbaum did his part now; you can reap the rewards of some very helpful information.

 

Good luck with your journey. As a gift of gratitude, you can send him his favorite beer, a case of Dos Equis, but the Lager addition. I'll let him know to expect it.

I looked at k1 P3 and P4 from Montreals website there it doesnt say anything about DS 5540. We just need to fill out no additional documents right?

This information is so new that the embassy's have not had time to update their materials. We recommend that you be prepared with a completed form even if the K-1 is not affect by the law.
