Immigrant Visas (IV)
Packet 3 Forms and Instructions
In immigrant visa cases, the applicant or petitioner will receive Packet 3 forms and instructions from the National Visa Center (NVC). In K-1fiancee and K-3 visa cases, Packet 3 is available from the U.S. Embassy Phnom Penh website. The documents and forms in Packet 3 must be completed and/or obtained before a visa interview can take place.
Receipt of an I-797 Notice of Approval from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) does not indicate that the case is pending with the U.S. Embassy. It takes 2-6 weeks on average for approved cases to arrive at the Embassy. If the applicant or petitioner has not received an appointment letter from the Embassy after 6 weeks from the date you sent us the package 3, you may send an email to us regarding the status.
Please do not send any of the documents below to the Embassy unless you have been specifically instructed to do so by NVC. Any Immigrant visa documents sent to the U.S. Embassy for a case which is not pending at the Embassy will be destroyed. The Embassy does not have storage facilities for these documents.
