For the Seoul Embassy, there is no packet 4. The instructions tell you to get your medical (they provided a list of approved hospitals), and they provided instructions on how to schedule an interview date (via internet or automated phone ONLY). Thank you for all the help fellow VJers! |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
