K-1 Visa Packet 3 Info

[maribear 0]

Sooo...I've been waiting and waiting for Packet 3. Looked up the example form here, and tried to get as much done from that as possible.

Then, they messed up and sent all of our info to Montreal, which fortunately my fiance caught, and had our file re-routed back to Vancouver. In the meantime, I checked in with Vancouver if I could just fax in Packet 3 checklist I would be getting from Montreal. Of course, no dice. They told me to sit and wait for them to mail out Packet 3. And of course, I can't get police checks or anything while waiting on this packet (unless I printed off someones demo or something, which I was extremely tempted to do...). I get Packet 3 from Montreal and check it out, and then promptly recycle it since its useless to me.

And then finally, Monday, Aug. 24/09, I get mailed a letter from the Vancouver US Consulate. No packet. A letter.

TELLING ME TO DOWNLOAD THE PACKET.

Which is irritating, since, you'd think they could have just sent me the link after they went and misdirected my file to Montreal, which they were aware of.

So for all of you out there, sitting, waiting for Packet 3, I give you the sacred link that they include in the letter:

There are several other forms that you need to print off of there (DS-230, DS156, DS156K, and form for depositing with Scotiabank) so make sure to read it carefully!

Hope this helps others who sit waiting and waiting and waiting for a form thats online the entire time. Of course you can't fax it in or anything yet, (because they won't be ready to process) but at least you can get the forms earlier so you can get stuff done while you're waiting!

Oh no! I am sorry for the ordeal with Montreal!

That is exactly what I did, I downloaded packet 3 before I even got the letter, spent my time waiting for the letter getting police checks, etc etc... once I got the letter from Vancouver saying they receive my case, I faxed the checklist back to VAN the same day.

We had our packet sent to Montreal as well. Weird! Someone doing the filing at the NVC must not have had his coffee that morning...
