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...

They will mail it to your 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...

I have everything here... my tax returns, etc. I spoke with my bank and they say they do letters for this sort of thing all the time, my brokerage company will do the same. We also have everything else here, too - emails, photos and stuff... Anything we don't have can be sent from the US by my parents (who are being really great about helping! - even filling out co-sponsor stuff just in case the consulate doesn't like that I'm on a leave from work)

And I am very grateful that I can be here with him! We thought it was a good idea for me to have a real-life experience of Dublin (his place, though he was thinking of moving somewhere smaller - like Galway - before we met) since we'd be living in Santa Fe (my place). It's been wonderful, and educational!
