Few questions

[yutsoku 1]

My fiance is waiting for her packet. We were gathering the paperwork and she was going out today to get the vaccines, background/certificate. All that fun stuff.

She asked me to post some questions for her while she's out for the day. So I have a few questions... I'm sorry if they've been asked before, I just don't have much time to search right now. :\

Let's start off with some basic information:

She's Canadian

Her embassy will be in Montreal.

She called the embassy and they said they are shipping her the packet, should be here this week (it's been 5 weeks since I got the NOA)

So hopefully that's enough questions to help with what I'm about to ask for her:

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

(I guess she wants to know what to do there?)

1) Fiance visa is considered an Immigrant visa right? Since my fiance plans to live in U.S with me if she is accepted.

2) Why do some of the forms say "Immigrant" and some say "Non-Immigrant" on the list of forms my fiance needs to fill out here http://photos.state.gov/libraries/canada/303578/montreal/packet3-k1-mtl.pdf

3) For the DS-160 form it states "Select the location where you will be applying for your visa." The Consulate my fiance is dealing with is in Montreal, so this would be where she is applying for her visa right?

4) On "http://photos.state.gov/libraries/canada/303578/montreal/packet3-k1-mtl.pdf" it says to fill out the DS-230 form, ONLY Part 1, but on the example forms on Visa Journey it shows the whole form filled out. Which does my fiance have to do?

Any information will be helpful! Thanks in advance!

You don't have any time to search, but you're fine asking US to take time to fill you in? Sigh...

1) Fiancé is a NON-IMMIGRANT visa, but is usually handled along with Immigrant visas because that is the end intent. But the visa itself is a single use entry into the US for 90 days, therefore the visa is non-immigrant. Again though, most of the time it's handled by the immigrant visa unit of the embassy.

2) See above

3) Correct, you list the embassy she will be interviewing at.

4) Only fill in part 1. I believe part 2 is filled out at the interview, as it's the sworn statement. Do as the instructions read, not what the example on VJ shows.

Good luck.

Sigh... Is that not why we are all here.. To help fill people in? I hope people weren't so, how should I say... self righteous, when you were seeking help!

I understand the constant second guessing yourself, That's why most of us are here to help you understand and try to make the process a little easier by sharing our experiences.

DS-160 is a form that you complete online, once the form is completed successfully you will be able to print off the receipt page and add that to your package.

Thank you for the information. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings in any way, but I had other demands on my time at the moment. Searching for specific questions, when it is so vague would be nearly impossible. One of the main reasons I posted without spending hours on searching is because it is general knowledge to people like you. If the shoe was on my foot, I would rather spend 1 minute of my time helping someone answer a question that is troubling them then having them spend a large amount of time searching for an answer with the heavy possibility of them hitting a brick wall anyways. So for that I am sorry, I guess we just have different way of seeing things. My fiance want to get things done as quickly and as efficiently as possible. I do appreciate your answer greatly, thank you for that. Also thank you for your generosity of answering even though you seemed to be perturbed, I am grateful.

Thanks a bunch, we will look into what is said here and continue to harass everyone when needed. That guy sure had a way to make me look like a jerk. But if you don't mind me asking another question...

Also, my Fiance got her background check today, they gave her one piece of paper which was stamped saying she has had no previous background check. They did not test her fingerprints... Would that be a requirement?

Finger prints are not required and as long as the background check was Canada wide, you are good to go!

Thanks for your helps guys, I'm his fiance by the way. I asked him to post my questions here while I went to the Police station to get my record. I tried searching for answers to my questions online, but it was difficult so I figured someone here who has done it before, would have some advice.

Also, my Criminal Record Check states "This is to confirm that no criminal convictions nor outstanding charges have been found in the Canadian National Repository of Criminal Records as a result of a search based on the above name and date of birth. The search has not been confirmed by fingerprints."

So, that's all I needed? I was just a bit shocked because I was expecting to receive something a bit more formal looking in the mail. As long as it's the right thing, then I'm happy!

One more thing: So when I mail in Packet 3 I would mail it to U.S. Consulate in Montreal – Non Immigrant Visas, right? It has the options here http://csc.public.s3.amazonaws.com/us_content/Loomis_Submit_Documents_Form_en.pdf

That's all you need! They will take your finger prints electronically when you go to your interview in Montreal!

And like I said before, there are people on here who forget what it's like... They become all high and mighty when they get approved! Don't be shy to ask questions... Stick to the Canadian Forum, we tend to be a little nicer here

The only time you need the fingerprint check is when you have a criminal history.
