Once they receive your documents, consulate will create a case for your spouse. You will get the case number if you call them about 1 week after they recieve your docs.
DS-2001 is the form called "Notification of applicant readiness". This is used to inform the consulate that your spouse has collected all the documents required (such as Marriage cert, birth cert, police clearance certs, etc... List is mentioned in the form DS-2001 itself). Once they recieve this, your spouse is considered "documentarily qualified" for the immigrant visa. Only after this qualification, the consulate will schedule an interview appointment for your spouse.
Usually the process is... consulate will send DS230 I&II and DS-2001 together as packet 3... You are supposed to send the DS230 I immediately and then send DS-2001 later when you have collected all the docs.
But now-a-days, consulate has informed many of us to send DS230 I along with the initial docs.... so, my wishful thinking is, If we send the DS-2001 also whenever we are ready with all the docs..., hopefully consulate will send us the inteview appointment letter directly.... this has not been proven... I have not heard from anybody who has actually received the interview letter directly after sending the initial docs... We have to wait and see if this works...
Hope this helps... Bottom line, dont wait for the consulate to send you the form.. grab DS-2001 from immihelp.com, fill it, ask your spouse to sign and send it... Then wait to hear from the consulate!
Thanks,
Ansi.

what is your country?
Did you just email them and they set up case for you? What kind of information did you have in your email? By the way, what is your country? I tried to email to Guangzhou consulate, they always need information from USCIS. Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot
I already sent my all approval notices (including my original I-824 approval notice)to guangzhou consulate two weeks ago. But I didn't get response yet. I will send email to them to ask what happen. It is frustration. Thank you very much. My I-824 was approved in June 22, 2005. My original country is China.sinyoke said:

Hi NJBLUE,
Packet 3 has nothing to do with interview date.Once they have ur intial docs they will create case number and mail the packet 3.But most of the times they will be lost in mail .Same thing happened to me.(I called consulate they asked me to download from wesite and mail) U CAN DOWNLOAD FORMS from IMMIHELP.COM
So, dont wait for mail from consulate .Downlaod DS 230 Part 1 and DS 2001 and complete all the details and get it signed by ur wife and mail them back.
*** If u dont have case number call the conuslate .They will give u.Which is required in DS 2001 form.
Hope this answers ur questions
Good luck
Thanks,

waiting for P3..srini, ranjinca and others..need advice
Hello Folks,
My wife's I-824 has been approved on May 31, 2005 (got my GC in EB3 category with priority date of Aug 1999). I have been waiting ever since to hear from Chennai Consulate
and/or NVC. My attorney has mailed the Consulate but got no response. What is the
right approach for me? Should I keep mailing or calling the Chennai Consulate till I get
a response? Or should I send in DS-2001 and other relevant docs? Highly appreciate any responses.
Thanks,
paras2

Paras, I think I mentioned this in a previous post. Approval of I-824 is not enough to start the process at the consulate. You must submit the DS230-I and other docs to initiate the process. Please send them to the consulate immediately. See previous posts for list of docs.
