Approved November Filers - The Wait for Interview

[Alaba 1]

Ok, since i'm a november filer, this seems the best place to get some help. Haha. Props to whoever started this thread.

Question is this... Hey guys, I just finished filling out all the forms for P3. What else do i have to send back with the P3? Do i have to send any passport photos, birth certificate and Criminal record? Thanks

I don't want to get annoying, I just don't want to screw up. THANK!

Yeah! My P3 was logged in today!!!

Congrats! I tried calling over lunch at work, but had to cut it short after being on hold for 20min. Took me at least 10 minutes to finally GET on hold. I'll try again tomorrow when I have more time.

So now that you're logged, they'll be getting back to you with an interview date?

Someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, but what I sent back was:

• DS-230 Part I
  
• DS-160 + confirmation page
  
• 2x DS-156
  
• DS-156K
  
• Checklist stating I have obtained forms and evidence to bring to the interview
  

Hopefully nothing extra needs to be sent, otherwise I'll have messed up.. So wait until someone else confirms this!

Alright, so when I sent my P3, all I did send where the forms that were required. That's it. No passport pictures, or certificate.

The checklist is probably to make sure you will bring everything and won't be able to say at the interview "oh I didn't know I needed that", because you will have signed the letter stating you are gathering/have gathered what is required.

And now that I'm logged in, I'll be calling DOS every week to see if they have set up an interview. The P4 is sent to you after that.

Hope this helps and hope that whoever is waiting to get logged in get it soon!

last question for P3. I'm done filling everything out, so i'm gonna send it off first thing tomorrow morning. Any special way to pack this. Put it in a certain order? Or just stick it in the envelope and let's rock? Also says in all correspondence, please include your name and case number. Did everyone do that? Thanks

I put the forms in behind this letter...with a paperclip attaching all together.

Also I mailed it Priority Overnight via Canada Post with tracking number:) Gave me peace of mind that I would know when it got there instead of wondering where it is in the mail system.

Hope this helps!

Wishing your a gem! Thanks so much, that was really helpful. And about the domcile? Do we check it off?

[Wishing 1]

Happy to help!

I checked it off, I mean its so easy to add it in with everything else when it comes to prepare all the documents for the interview. I made sure that each item had a check mark by it in one column or the other (i.e. the "have it" column or the N/A column for things as divorce certificate etc.)

Hi Alaba,

Some people could not send it through UPS with signature because the adress has a p.o. box. I used Xpress post, priority, without a signature, and it got there fine. I was able to track it and everything.

I also had a cover letter, much like Wishing's.

Good luck on sending it off and I hope you get logged in quick!

[Alaba 1]

Thanks guys, I'm on my way to the mail post to send it off Priority

[Wishing 1]

Good morning!

I'm waiting in anticipation hoping that we all get our April P3's logged in this week:) And for the first interview dates for the group to come through.... Any news for anyone?

[Veronik 19]

Hi everyone!

I was thinking I was gonna wait until next week to start calling about interview dates, but I don't think I can wait until then! I might go ahead and call this coming Friday, just to see if I'm lucky enough to be in the June batch!

Wishing, I hope your P3 gets logged in this week!
