Received my packet 3 today from the Montreal Consulate, and I spent probably a good 6 hours filling out the DS-230, DS-160, DS-156 and DS-156K. 4 different forms all requesting roughly the same data, in roughly the same format.. gotta love it :)

One question though, and I'm not sure if it's applicable here or in the Consulate forum, but there's a checklist I need to send back, stating I have obtained the specific document (passport, photographs, birth certificate, police certificate, etc etc) It says not to send the actual documents, just the checklist..

BUT

The DS-156K form says these same documents MUST be submitted with the DS-156K? What gives?

Best of luck to you in the rest of your VJ.

I'll be away for a couple of weeks (maybe checking VJ, maybe not) but there's enough people here to guide you through the NVC stage (make sure you talk to a LIVE operator) and then the consulate specific advice!

Слава Україні!
