Quick Packet 3 Question (Montreal)

[cjblack 0]

We're getting ready to return Packet 3 to Montreal. The letter says to send them the following:

Checklist

DS-156

DS-156K

DS-160 (confirmation receipt)

Doesn't say anything in the letter about sending them supporting documentation. But on the actual DS-156K form, it says that that particular form must be submitted with Birth Certificate, Police Certificate, supporting evidence, and a number of other things.

So does anyone know whether or not we're supposed to include all of that stuff in with the Packet 3?

As far as I know, the BC, police forms, etc are to be taken to the interview, not sent in with Packet 3. But perhaps they updated their forms and want it all up front?

Here's the form:

Anyone know?

If you're concerned about it I would e-mail the consulate in Montreal and just ask. The old packet 3 told you to send back the checklist and the DS-230 pt. 1 only, while everything else was to be brought to the interview. Apparently, the new one seems to suggest they want all the forms back at once. Personally, I would send the forms back and keep everything else. I wouldn't want to mail them my original birth certificate for example, knowing that things tend to get lost in the mail, and that they really have no use for it until the day of the interview.

All you need to send is the following:

Checklist

DS-156

DS-156K

DS-160 (confirmation receipt)

DS-230

The reason the 156K mentions supporting evidence is because in the past that form was filled out at the interview, so you you have the stuff with you. It seems that the form is out date and dosen't reflect the new procedure. I sent in only the forms I listed above and everything is cool.

I concur. I did the same.

Hey there,

How did you guys send your packet three back to the consulate? I know that there is an issue with sending a courier as the address is a P.O box. I'd love to hear how you guys did it! (I'm assuming Xpresspost would work fine as there's a tracking number.)

I did expresspost, from what I recall. I paid for the speed of service that would get it there next day by 5pm, and it arrived before 8am anyways.

We're sending it tomorrow from the US.. I want to overnight it or something similar.. guess I better figure out how I can do that to a PO box!

I had no problems sending it to a p.o. box. I can't find my receipt to tell you exactly how I sent it, but I know I sent it to the PO box. Just check with the post office. They'll let you know your options.

I sent mine from the US with USPS with the 2-3 day International Express. You can ship to a P.O. box with USPS, just not a courier like Fed-ex or UPS.
