DCF in India

[agrawala 0]

Hello all:

My wife and I filed DCF (I-130) at US Embassy New Delhi on March 22.

It was a simple process - we were asked to show wedding photo album and submitted required things like marriage certificate, G-325A, petition, etc.

The officer asked us to pay $190 as fee for the I-130. I asked the officer what the next step would be and he replied that we will get a letter within 1 month.

So we paid the fee and that was it. So far, we haven't received any mail from Embassy.

This is different from other's experiences I have read in the past. Others said they were given packet 3 that same day and asked to pay the petition fee. Whereas we were NOT given any packet 3 or packet 4. None of the couples received it either.

Did the Embassy change its policy about packet 3?

Will my wife get a letter mentioning the interview date or will she first receive a packet 3?

Please help. I am confused.

Thanks.

A friend of mine did DCF in India. His wife rec'd P3 from Mumbai consulate a month or after their petition was approved by USCIS in New Delhi.
