resend packet 3

[rdettman6684 0]

I was wondering if I should have my fiance resend packet 3. She mailed it in the last week of August and the DOS has still not sent out packet 4. I've called every day the past 3 weeks and still nothing. From looking at other members timelines it seems like they had their Packet 4's sent out 7-12 days after they mailed packet 3, certainly does not seem like a 5 week process. I'm thinking send it xpress post with delivery confirmation. Is there a chance that it really is taking this long to log packet 3 or should we get on with resending it?

DOS doesn't sent anything. Its Montreal that is the problem.

There have been a couple of people who have waited 4 weeks for the packet 4. You sent it express post? that could be another problem, you should use DHL that is the new method they use. Your mail is probably sitting somewhere in their mail room still.

If you haven't already I would try sending them an ATTN fax to let them know as well as an email subject line saying urgent and your case number.

Thanks very much, that is very helpful. Do you have a fax number and email I should use? Also, what exactly should I say when I fax/email them?

Montreal-IV-DV@state.gov

Send a fax to 514-398-0973 and 514-398-9748, and address it to "IV Unit Supervisor"

Say the Case information Petitioner name / beneficiary name

birth dates and MTL case number.

Explain when you sent it how you sent it and include the tracking number if you have it. Explain how long you have waited and that you are still waiting for P4 after sending P3 quite a while ago. Ask them to contact you ( leave your contact info phone/email etc ) and let you know if you need to resend it if they cant find P3, and let you know what is going on with the case.

Just want to say.... ours was slow also and it turned out I had not submitted the online DS160.... 3 weeks later I got a letter from Montreal requesting I do that . Even my lawyer told me it was not necessary based on the instructions online.... so you DID do the DS160 and mail in the confirmation with your packet 3?

Sorry the DS160 is required if you're going to Montreal, I don't know of you are but the instructions are confusing.
