Applying for a K3 visa...



Does anyone know: Will Packet 3 be mailed to me (the USC) or to my
husband in Ireland? For some reason, I thought it would be mailed to
him, and that when he receives it, he must return the checklist to the
US Embassy in Ireland.



But now I've read a few posts that make it sound like I'll get Packet 3,
and then mail it and the affadavit of support to my husband...

Hi Buendia



I think it depends on the consulate. I'm not sure about Ireland. For
Iranians, the Packet 3's get mailed to the USC simply because the
Ankara, Turkey embassy won't mail anything out to Iran. But I don't see
why your husband shouldn't get Packet 3 himself. You can always email
the consulate and ask them for sure.



Best Wishes!

I agree, my Irishman received the packet 3. They are very fast about
setting up interview times once they receive the packet. It's nice to
know that have a good turn around!

As Dutch said!



If the packet is the same as I had as a K1-er, then there will be an I-
134 form in there but you should have already had one of these, which
should be completed and sent, with all relevant paperwork, to your S/O
in order for him to take it to the Embassy on the day of his interview.



Things will move really fast once he sends his forms to the
Embassy, I'm sure!



Good luck and best wishes

Thanks, everyone, for the info and best wishes!!!



Because I'm here in Ireland right now, it's good to hear that I
don't have to have someone get the US mail and send Packet 3 over
here... Phew!!!



By the way, it's cold, and (at only 4 pm!) dark dark dark in Dublin. We
both want to get back to Santa Fe!

And people keep asking me why I don't want to move to Ireland. I
love my fiance, and I love to visit his homeland, but I just couldn't
deal with all of the rain. I tried it out for 5 months once and that
was plenty!



Sorry a little OT.

I would not mind trading places with you!!! I will be there in 11 days.
I am ready to put on my wellies and take a walk on the beach. The
getting dark early part does take some getting used to but then
again...isn't it nice to get in bed early with your partner?? lol

You have all the necessary supporting documents though, right? Like
I-134, etc?

i'm not positive about the consulate in ireland, but i did receive P3 at
my home in the US....my fiance still hasn't received P3 in mexico...the
consulate did tell me they were sending us the same thing, but it could
be different for different consulates...



and i'm not sure about the mail system in ireland (i'm sure it's better
than mexico) but i'd suggest using fed ex or something of that sort
when sending doc's to him...esp if it's time sensitive or you all are
in a rush...



i do not know if the USPS has tracking devices for overseas



you can always print the I-134 or I-864 from www.uscis.gov
and fed ex it to him in advance...
