Hi,

I just saw that you have already submitted packet 3. I am in the middle of trying to sort through it and I find that there's so much back and forth on what is required.

I'm hoping you can help me!!

In DS-156K it says to attach the following documents in order to apply for a fiancee non immigrant visa (birth certificate, evidence of financial support etc) Did you send those with packet 3 or are you planning to bring them for your interview?

Also - Do we need to send in a copy of DS-230 (part 1 only) as well as submit form DS-160 online?

Sorry for questions! Im just finding it so overwhelming - the montreal consulate website isn't exactly clear!

Thanks!! and congrats on almost being finished!!

You DO NOT attach the birth certificate, evidence of financial, support, etc. to packet 3. You bring those documents to the interview.

Here is the official packet 3 checklist from Montreal:

Packet 3 provides instruction materials for immigrant visa applicants once the case file has been received at the Consulate, but before an interview can be scheduled. If you have received a "Packet 3" letter from the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal, please follow the instructions below to send to the Consulate the required forms and checklist.

NOTE: You are NOT authorized to make an interview appointment at this time. All unauthorized appointments will be cancelled without notice.

If you are a Fiancé (K-1) applicant:

DS-230, Part I only – one copy per each applicant, including children.

DS-156 – 2 copies.

DS-156K (292KB PDF) – 1 copy.

Confirmation receipt regarding Form DS-160 - one copy, available online at ceac.state.gov/genniv.

Checklist of documents to gather for the interview – one copy per family is sufficient.

2 color photographs (Photograph Requirements)

Photocopy of the biographic data page of the applicant's passport.

You may send the documents to the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal using courier services that are offered at no extra cost for the applicant. Please visit the Visa Services website and follow instructions for "IV Applicant Needing to Register for DHL" and "Sending Document to the Consular Section". If you have any further inquiries about the courier services, please visit the U.S. Visa Services website.

Basically it's just the forms + two 2"x2" passport photos + the photocopy of the biographic info page of your passport. If you are not a citizen of Canada you must also send photocopies of evidence that you are residing in it legally (for example a permanent resident card, a work permit, etc.) I recommend you mail it via expresspost which delivers very quickly and provides you with a tracking number and only costs $15. Make sure to select the option to have someone sign for it so you know for sure when it's arrived.
