Guys, My spouse missed the packet 4 in mail; which the mumbai consulate sent us couple of weeks back. i did send them an email to send us a duplicate packet 4 and they replied that

"You or someone on your behalf may come to the consulate’s information counter, on any work day, Monday thru Friday, between 09:00 and 11:30 a.m., and pick up a duplicate packet IV."

Now has anybody done this before, have someone else pick up packet 4 on their behalf. Would the above email/BMB Case number be enough for the consulate to dispatch duplicate packet 4. I did send them an email again asking what would be required by somebody picking up packet 4 on my behalf... But no replies.. My spouse wont be able to personally pick up the packet 4. Any ideas ?

My wife just did this couple days ago. She didn't receive the packet 4 in mail even the embassy claims that it was sent on September 7. She went to the Delhi embassy to pick up the duplicate packet 4. Your wife doesn't need to go personally to pick up the packet. The person who goes to pick it up need to know the case number and their will be no problems.

Mumbai's web-site is very cool. You can just download the form instead of waiting for them to snail mail it to you. Here is the site: http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/ivforms.html

We had difficulties in getting the correct packets (3 &4) - numerous times. Via e-mail from the consulate they really, REALLY recommended downloading.

I have even read some posts where they downloaded Packet 3 early and sent it to the consulate as soon as they knew the consulate had received their application.

Good luck!!

Ok Thanks. I will give the case number to the person picking up the packet 4 on my behalf. Hopefully it wont be an issue.. Also in order to email mumbai consulate include "Request for Specific Information" in the subject of the email. Then only they will reply, otherwise they will send a preformatted autoreply.. Hope this helps.

But what about the APPOINTMENT LETTER... the packet 4 you download doesn't contain this... So we would still need to get this from the embassy correct?
