Yeah, the said the same thing to my husband on Fri.
"Embassy records indicate that we received your K-3 file from the National Visa Center today and have sent you the forms (DS-230 Part 1, IV-15 and DS-156) that you are required to complete in connection with the administrative processing of your application."

Yet he had not recieved the forms by Monday. Which either means they did *not* send the forms Fri (or put them in the mail on Fri) as they state, or they're using a special mail service that takes longer than regular mail. (But WHY they would do that... No clue.)

*sigh again*

My wife received her K-1 there last August, 2001. Our experience was they were very friendly and professional. Maybe it made a difference since I called and spoke with the officer in charge of the K-1 visas before she went for the interview. I was advised that your best chance of speaking with someone is if you call between 4:45 & 5:00, the end of their work day. The policy at that time was to go at the scheduled times posted on their website. Marcia is correct, the mail system in Venezuela sucks,and my wife never received the package they sent. Arrange to pick up the forms you will need at the embassy. If you live in another city besides Caracas, ask what doctors are approved for the med exam in your city. The med exam was our only
difficulty, as it takes time to get the appointment. If you had complete paperwork, you received the interview and visa while you were there. Her interview was easy, but we had plenty of proof, photos, e-mails, phone bills, trip receipts, and complete
paperwork.

Thanks for your best wishes, I went today to the mail office and my packet 3 didn't arrive yet. I'm thinking to go this week to the consulate in Caracas to pick up it myself.

I'm really worry about this the mail here since I read a post from a member of this forum:

I also have friend who waited for 2 months and the packet never arrived so she looked for it at the consulate.

So, Wish me luck....I hope to pick up it on Thursday.

Thank you again... I'm happy your process is walking nice..!! Did you get your appointment for the medical exam already?

No, I called the DR to see if it was ok for me to send in the forms without having the medical done because I live far and I want to avoid 2 trips to Madrid.. and he said.. No problem
So I will get call the Dr to make an appointment once I know my interview date
