Hey guys!

I haven't received my Pkt 3 from Montreal yet but I am completing the forms ahead by using this link on the Consulate's website : http://montreal.usconsulate.gov/content/content.asp?section=visas&document=visa_pkt3

I tried filing form DS-156k twice this morning but it keeps showing these weird characters I didn't type. It even shows pre filed when I open it. I tried with 2 Internet browsers : Chrome and Firefox.

Anyone else having this issue? Can I get the same form from anywhere else?

Thanks in advance!

You need your P3 before you can do it, so that's probably why.

See profile for our K-1 Visa/AOS story from 2010-2011Apparently we love USCIS/NVC so much we left and are doing it again! This time giving IR-1 a whirl. Rock on immigrators.

07/09/2014 sent in IR-1 packet to Chicago Lockbox

07/16/2014 NOA1

07/17/2014 check cashed by USCIS

10/01/2014 found out we are expecting baby #2 June 2015!

12/15/2014 NOA2

12/30/2014 Case received by NVC

03/23/2015 Received Case and Inv # from NVC after many calls and bogus excuses.

03/24/2015 AOS payment accepted by NVC

04/09/2015 IV payment finally accepted by NVC after the set the wrong fee and took weeks to correct it.

*many more delays thanks to the agency processing my fingers prints to the RCMP and the post office losing our mail*

05/20/2015 Packet sent to NVC via UPS, eta May 28.

06/16/2015 Baby #2 due - homebirth in Scottsdale, AZ

This isn't correct. I completed my Packet 3 before I received the hard copy using the same link as the OP. Other users on this site have as well.

OP, I seem to be able to type in it just fine. If you're having problems, I suggest printing it out and filling out the information by hand.

Yeah I`ll do just that, try again later and if it'm still having issues I will print it.

Thanks much to you both :)

The instructions say to do it in Internet Explorer....Try that. I normally use Firefox too but did the forms in IE and had no problem.

Hope that helps.

Correct, it does work as intended with Explorer.

Thanks :)

I have a mac and sometimes when I opened the packet 3 forms there would also be strange characters. I tried on a pc and the characters didn't come up. Maybe it's just the way the file is coded or something. Who knows!
