"I am in the wrong thread... but if the Philippines works the same way maybe you can learn. Once our K-1 went to the NVC, the NVC issues a MNL#, your number would start with something different. You call up the NVC and get the number they issue your package before your information is forwarded to the US Embassy in Austrailia. With that number they issue you, you can then you schedule your medical and make your appointment with that number.  \nWe never waited for any packet 3 or 4. Sometimes they never come. It's a waste of time to wait. You don't need it. To give you an example, our NOA2 was approved on Dec 28th and we had her medical and interview done by February 15th and she will be here by March.  I hope this helps you. Search the forums for MNL# for more information to give you an example of what people are doing in the Philippines. \n"
