Hi,

On the checklist for the interview it says:

e. Form DS-230 part I or Confirmation Page of the electronic Form DS-260

I didn't do DS-260 because it wasn't required for packet 3 .. is anyone doing both just to be on the safe side

I just don't want to get there with DS - 230 and they ask for DS-260

This is what you needed to send in with packet 3

The processing of approved fiancé(e) petitions combine elements of both nonimmigrant and immigrant visa processing and are forwarded to Montreal for processing: http://travel.state.gov/visa/forms/forms_1342.html.

The Consulate General will send an instruction letter (Packet 3) to the applicant, petitioner, or other designated representative requesting that the applicant prepare the appropriate forms, and checklist of documents, and return them to the Consulate General.

•DS-156 – 2 copies https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp

•DS-156K – 1 copy http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/82063.pdf

•Form DS-160 – one copy, available online at https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/

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

•DS-230 part I and part II – one copy per each applicant, including children

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

Once we have received the documents requested in Packet 3, the case is ready for scheduling. We will send the applicant or his/her designated representative another letter ("Packet 4") with instructions to contact CSC to schedule an interview appointment. Appointments are on first come, first served basis. All applicants must apply and be interviewed within one year of their initial appointment, or the petition will become invalid. Please see the following link for Packet 4:

I just looked at the DS260 Online application form and yes I did fill out this form as well and it is required that you fill it out online for the Montreal consulate.

This is the only new form then .. we weren't required to fill out DS-260 for packet 3

I'll just do both just in case
