The packet goes to the foreign fiancée, to the address you provided on your 129 forms. Same for packet 4.

Ok weird. Because my Fiancee in the US receieved the packet, like 3 days after the NOA2 was approved. But i am still waiting for the packet form Montreal Consulate. But it has only been a week since the NOA2.

Just odd it went to her first. Im sure my address here in Toronto, is in the I-129F.

If you look at the guide I linked above, it has a link to the Embassy with all of the forms needed for your packet 3. Apparently some people never receive the packet 3 at all from Montreal.

If you used a lawyer to submit your petition, it might go to the lawyer's office. Mine packet 3 did. The "packet 3" was just a small regular envelope with instructions in it. I am going through the montreal consulate.

Nope. We did the I-129F ourselves. My address (in toronto) is present on it as well. So, not sure why Packet 3 was sent to my fiancee in the US.

Montreal is a bit wonky from what i read on here, so i just wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem. My fiancee is going to send the Packet 3 to me anyways.

Hello All,

I received my Packet 3 today!! Yay! And I might be repeating this quesiton i think, but its go time now. :D

I went on the http://canada.usvisa-info.com website, to setup my account, and in the Packet 3 letter it states to choose 'Permanently Immigrate to the US'. There are Five of these 'Permanently Immigrate to the US'. Im a Canadian citizen, but I have not filled out my Visa application yet, nor did I pay the MRV. So im confused which one i choose at this step in the process. I assume it is the K1/K2, since that is purpose of immigrating of course.

Canadian Citizen

+ Non-Immigrant Visas (Canadian)

- Immigrant Visas - (Canadian)

Please select the category that best describes the purpose of your travel.

Permanently Immigrate to the United States (Fiance – K1/K2)

Permanently Immigrate to the United States (Scheduled by NVC)

Permanently Immigrate to the United States (Ready to Schedule)

Permanently Immigrate to the United States (Diversity Visa)

Permanently Immigrate to the United States - Register for Courier Services Only

Thank you
