the new package 3 from montreal

[Missa 0]

hi, i said i would update on this so here it is,

many people are now getting packet 3 from Montreal and they are probably reading through the guides thinking ####### is this mine looks different? We've found out recently that Montreal has changed their packet to what appears to be more complicated.

They no longer send any forms, instead you'll get a list that looks like this ( thank you to another member for scanning this)

this letter makes it look like they want all the forms listed and this not NOT true. i have just gotten a response from the consulate

saying this

Return the DS-230 part 1 and checklist only by mail, the rest is brought at the time of the interview.

Operator 5

so, for future reference even though the page says to send everything back don't, seems that this is a cruel game they like to play to confuse people.

Thanks for posting this Missa - it does make you wonder if anyone reads this stuff before they send it out!!

the last letter i got from them had spelling mistakes in it and it was a printed and signed letter. lol

Ooh, thanks.

Now I know what I can fill out ahead of time instead of waiting for this list and the non existant forms that were supposed to come with it

I have a scanned copy of my complete packet 3 return if anyone wants to see it, let me know, and I will post it.

It says "Upon receipt of the above listed documents" I would assume that would mean all 5 forms despite what VJ has in the guides. I sent everything in - that has to be what the want. Maybe the guy at the consulate is giving you an out dated response.

It's possible.

Please update us after you send in the DS-230

I sent in everything as well. 19 pages worth. lol

It probably wouldn't kill anyone to send in everything, but maybe because we send it all in that's why it takes so long to schedule.

Though, I'd rather send it all in than not send enough.

I know typos are normal, but I kinda doubt they'd typo something that important.

I hope someone can give an accurate answer about this later.

i sent only the ds-230 part 1, checklist and the online form just like they said over a month ago. last week ( before my email was answered) i called DOS to see if everything was logged. they said yes there was no problem they have all they needed. the lady said that i would have heard from the consulate if they needed anything and this would have happened before my case was logged

I sent it in 2 weeks ago. You'd have to be crazy not to send in what the form says. I mean, I wouldn't take some goof at the consulates one sentence email over what it says on the form.

department of state told me the same thing. she said the consulate would basically throw what they didn't need out. by all means send everything, it won't hurt. this post was for the people like me who only sent in the 1 form plus checklist based on the old guides and freaked out after because we just found out that our package was different

I sure hope they shred the paper and recycle it instead of out right throwing it out.

I bet they have their own tree farm

My fiance just received packet 3 and he is working on it.

Why does it say to do the DS-156 AND the DS 160 online if the DS 160 online replaced the DS-156???????
