Hi, 

I received my letter from the NVC and am trying to register my Fiancee's delivery address so that she can receive Packet 3 for the instructions on applying for the Visa, Pre-interview checklist, and appointment scheduling. I am currently stuck on the first page as it asks for the DS-160 Confirmation Code, but we have not received Package 3 yet so we can't apply? Have any recent Vietnam K-1 applicants figured out how to register the Fiance/Fiancee's home address for Package 3 delivery? Do we follow the instructions and complete the DS-160 before receiving Package 3? 


Thank you!

Did you follow the instructions from the embassy?

Hi @Liam2021, yes but I was told to wait to receive Packet 3 before applying for the Visa. The instructions on USTravelDocs requires a DS-160 confirmation code (from the Visa application) in order to continue with registering a delivery address.

Yes, it correct. With HCM embassy, you have to wait until they reach out to you with PKT3. If you want one step ahead, send an inquiry to them.

Should I send an inquiry to have them reach out to me through Email to receive Pkt 3? Since I don't have an address registered for them to deliver it to my Fiancee. Do you know if HCM Embassy sends Pkt3 by email or by physical letter? If it is a physical letter, then I would need to figure out a way to register my Fiancee's address without the need of the DS-160 confirmation code, unless the Embassy is just using her address that is on the I-129F application to mail it out. It's a semi-rural address and her house doesn't have a house number plaque.

PKT3 will send by email( if you put your email when fill out the form).

Thank you so much @Liam2021! I was worried sick since my fiancee's semi-rural address rarely receives any mails, letters, or packages delivered to them. As for passport delivery (in the near future), there should be a way for her to pickup at the post office somehow?

The local post office will call, or hand delivery to you. I know you very exited and worry, but don't get too stress about these minor things and more focus on the interview.

My fiance recently got the packet through a courier on 5/10.

She lives in a smaller town (small town in Tay Ninh province) and the courier texted her first. She paid a bit over 100K in dong to the courier.

I did not fill out the address until she got the packet and finished filling out the DS-160.

 

You guys got this!
