Hi everybody,

Isn't interesting to see that throughout this journey to be reunited with our life partners we get an obstacle after another, and we still go through it, but yet a people like us a human like us handle our cases with all the cold blood and the careless that there is to it, and worse others made lows that truly made their own citizen just suffer from it.

I really thought I am done with all delay and bureaucracy when my case was approved, and I saw how wonderful the NVC staff were, but I all this nice feeling hit the wall when I start my process in the embassy, not waiting for interview, no, I just want the packet# 3 and here they are telling me that they have sent it 11 days ago, and we haven't received it, and in a normal mail it should not take more then 2 to 3 days, and that wasn't what got to me, what really got to me to see that around the world that's what a lot of people have been facing,

WHY? WHY WOULD THE EMBASSYS AROUND THE WORLD DELAY SENDING THE PACKET# 3?

are they trying to gain some time to study your case, well how long does it take to do so, this case has been though a lot of bureaucracy checks and re-checks enough to approve it

I really don't understand what's going on any more, and the embassy use to answer my questions in the same day (email messages) but now that I am asking them why I haven't receive my packet# 3, and if it is possible to get it through email, no answer at all it's been 3 days and they haven't email me back, and to make matter worse, calling the embassy is just useless, phone rings and no one answer, you call over and over, in may different times, but no way, nobody answers

I am starting to lose it now.. don't know what to do :(

Hello Win. I am so sorry you are going through all this '#######'. Is there any way your wife can go to the embassy and pick up the packets? My husband went and picked his up. It took 3 trips, but he finally got them on 12/27/07. Now, we just have to wait until 3/10/08 for the interview, but at least we have a date. Hang in there and don't give up!

:help:

Have any one here who got packet# 3 got any paper titled with the following:

"Instructions for Immigrant Visa Applicants"

Becuase this above wording doesn't match other paper work image that was posted here in Vjers, the images I saw here in Vjers was titled

"Additional instructions for obtaining a nonimmigrant visa to marry and reside in the United State"

And another image aslo here in Vjers said

"Visa Instructions for Fiance Nonimmigrant Visa Applicants"

Also I got through the fax a weired form numbered DS-2001 titled

"Notification of Applicant Readiness"

Please help :help: if you got any of the above wording or different please post, and if you got the last form.

I would have a guess that you might have received the CR1/IR1 interview packet, but this could just be wording specific to your embassy. Hopefully someone else can shed a bit of light on it.

Thanks C & J

Anyone else ..My_Honey or edp333, was your wording like what I have got or like the rest of Vjers?

:help:

Did any one have wording like what I had above? also does any one know that the embassy goes into two steps with the K3 process, what the embassy staff have told me over the phone is that packet # 3 have the following

Step 1

- DS-230 part I

- DS-2001 "Notification of Applicant Readiness"

- Requst for Poice Certificate

...then submit the above

Step 2

- Embasy will send a medical exam request + maybe interview letter

- My wife do the medical exam and submit that or take it with her to the interview

- Go to the interview

I am really lost, the workding don't seem to be for K3, yet when I asked them they told me that it's the same, where is DS-156k and DS-156 then!

Does anyone who got packet # 3 or got to the interview stage got the above scenario or the sequence of steps

Thank you in advane for your help

Hi everyone

I m an Indian Citizen and my husband is a US citizen

We got married in August 2007 in India

My husband has filed all the paper work needed for wife immigrant visa and he got NOA-1 with my new last name (his last name) but I have a valid passport with my old name as single will that be a problem for issuing the visa?

Question – 1:- Is it necessary that PASSPORT MUST MATCH EXACTLY WITH THE NAME ON THE VISA?

Question - 2:- Do I have to make a fresh passport with my new last name and marital status?

Please reply

Thanks a lot C and J!!! I did have a good time but I'm getting anxious and can't wait for the interview. It's just that with Mexico being so close to the US there are A LOT of applicants in that consulate.

Nope, I have not seen or heard from Urge...I also hope he had an interview date for his wife.

Take care C and J....see ya around.

Hello Wintime, we are still here hanging around!!! I'm in the same boat as you...NO APPOITMENT YET. The people are the embassy are useless, they are worse than USCIS and they give zero information and they also misinform you. So all we have to do know is sit tight...we are almost at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there, you will see the light soon.
