Regarding Packet 3...some question

[netguy 0]

okay finally my Canadian Fiance has received her Packet 3. we have some questions.

1. We received a checklist which says to fill out forms DS-230 PT1, DS-160, DS-156K, DS-156 and a comfirmation receipt regarding DS-160. Do we have to make copies of all these forms and send it to them with the check list?

2. also can my fiance schedule to go to the physician medical exam right away or does she have to send those along with the check list?

3. How is everyone sending digital pictures with form DS-160?

4. Letter to marry, can I just put that I <John Doe> am marrying <Mary Jane> and live together in <USA> at this address?

5. I'm unclear of Evidence of Support, is this to show that I can afford my Fiance in USA?

6. Evidence of Domicile will photographs of our engagement party in Canada be sufficient?

thanks for all your help.

5. get an I-134 and I-864. Fill out the I-134, if you need any math computations, use the math outlined in the I-864 instructions.

6. NO - you need to show proof of USA domicile.

Moving thread from K1 process forum to consular forum - packet 3 is part of the consular process.

For Domicile would that mean an Electric bill or Heat bill with my name on it at my residency in USA ?

I assume you are going through Montreal? Vancouver seems to me anyway to be much less complicate in the paperwork. Does it ask you to fill these out AND send them? Or just to fill them out? My packet 3 consisted of the DS-230 and the completed checklist only. Everything else you bring with you to the Vancouver interview.

1. Go with what the instructions tell you. If it only asks for DS-230, just send DS-230 and bring the rest with you (original signed docs) to the interview. They have a lot of paperwork to deal with already, so go with what the packet instructions say.

2. Does the instructions give you information on this? Normally if you are in the city with the panel physician (or reasonably close by) you can get the medical done whenever and the interview date will be scheduled later. If you are travelling then you (quote from a consulate inquiry email);

"About your medical, because you are from Alberta, we could schedule your visa appointment first, then you call the medical office to arrange an appointment with them. It is possible to do both the medical and interview on the same day or next day. To request for a visa interview appointment, you will need to fax your completed DS-230 and checklist (you may leave the medical examination box unchecked)."

3. Does it ask you for digital pictures?? My assumption is you just bring these to the interview (as per the instructions)

4. There is a sample letter on the K-1 guidelines page - click the link for sample forms

5. Please see the K-1 guise it will give you LOTS of information about the affadavit of support, but essentially the petioner (UScitizen) needs to show they can support the beneficiary so that they do not become a public charge. Please read the guide, fill out the i-134 based on the instructions and poverty guidelines for the i-184. You will submit the i-184 once you marry and are applying for your change of status (from non-immigrant to immigrant).

6. You could use bills to the USC, a lease agreement, a title, mortgage papers etc. You are essentially proveing that the USC lives in the US.

6. Did you mean evidence of an ongiong relationship?? cos that's something different...

Hope this helps!

She will be going to the consulate office in Montreal. the DS-160 Form has a click button for picture attachment for some odd reason.

My other concerns are do we have to send the Checklist with police certificate, evidence of domicle, Affidavit support, OR do we bring these things to the interview. that's what I'd like to know.

I was also confused by Montreal's paperwork, but after some advice and re-reading I feel confident that I completed the requirements properly.

Just complete the forms and send in the necessary amount. For instance, Montreal asked me for two copies of the DS-156. I also photocopied all of the forms as backup for the interview.

The DS-160 is an online form and requires you to upload a passport photo. I scanned my original passport photo and it was accepted. Once this form is complete you will need to print out the comfirmation page and submit it with your package 3.

Form DS-156K lists that "your birth certificate, police certificate, etc., must be attached in order to apply for a visa", but I was instructed by past applicants to leave those out and instead prepare them for the interview. The consulate wants original copies at the interview.

I hope that this helps!

I FedExed Package 3 to Montreal 2 weeks ago and am still waiting to be scheduled for an interview.

Rose, that was very very helpful. So I will hold on to the police cert and birth certificate.

Where did you pay the fee? was it during DS-160?

Also do we now wait for packet 4 to arrive then do physical exam OR can my fiance go NOW and get the physical exam

Good Luck !

I didn't pay an additional fee. I didn't see an opportunity to.

I assumed that the fee was already paid with my fiance's petition?!? I hope that I assumed correctly!

As for the medical, I think that you have to have your interview scheduled first. I would still try calling and booking an appointment.

Did you already make an appointment for your Physical Exam or are you waiting for Packet 4 ? I was unclear if you do the physical exam during packet 3 or packet 4.
