P3

[3timescharm]

I called NVC today and was told that the P3 was sent to my SO on Sept 5. She has not recieved it yet. Should I be concerned or does it take 2 or 3 weeks to be delivered????

If they said it was sent, you can simply have her download and fill out the required documents (OF-169, and DS-230 part 1) and mail them back before she receives P3.

Thanks Dan, My concern is also that...if she does not get the P3 in the mail......should I be concerned about the P4 getting to her. Would it be wise to email the Consulate and verify her address? I looked at my copies of the petition and the addresss is correct

Yes email consulate to confirm address is correct so that P-4 goes to the correct place, this address should be on DS-230 part 1 also.

I have been thinking of the events of today........I know that the pettiton was sent on Sept 2 to GUZ. I was told this by NVC, they said it was electronically sent. I called DOS on sept 6 and they said that it could take a couple of weeks for GUZ to receive the file. Then today I called and DOS said that the P3 packet along with instructions was sent out on the 5th of sept. So it was sent 1 day before I called DOS on sept 6th. I said to the lady on the phone today....."So the P3 packet was sent to my fiancee on the 5th of September?" she said yes. So I am assuming that the info I have would be correct and they are not making a mistake?

[3timescharm]

Sorry...packet was sent on the 4th of September

You can email GUZ to make sure. They can give you the tracking number. Regarding DOS, you get different answers depend on who to talk to. Sarah and Jessica are the best!

I would email the consulate and ask if the packet was sent, I did this and they responded a day or so after I asked. I they confirm P3 was sent, then send them the downloaded forms.

Thanks Dan...you are the man . I wish I had had this much help the first time I did this in 2003........actually...I wish I had not done this in 2003

Her father got P3 in the mail last week. He called her but she did not answer the phone . She will get today and then send back. What exactly does she need to fill out? I know the check sheet and I think the DS-230 Part 1. Does she need to file one of these for her 9 year old daughter as well?

One more thing....

Where can I find a sample of the DS-230. I know it looks simple..but I do not want any mistakes

[3timescharm]

I found sample of DS-230 part one on VJ. I have a question though......number 14, is this left blank..or does she put her ex husbands name here?

Number 14 asks for name of spouse. She has none, so write NONE. Never leave anything blank. Always NONE or N/A.
