NOA 2 in October...Awaiting Packet 3

[abelsito14 0]

Hello Everyone!

I am in the process of waiting for Packet 3 in the mail, but I have a couple of questions in the meantime. As far as fees go, I don't know if there are fees I need to be paying for the DS 160 that I filled out or any other forms that I have completed. Is there a guideline as to all the fees and where to pay them? Also my NOA 2 expires in February (the 10th) and what happens if I don't get an interview before then? Will my NOA 2 be extended automatically or would I have to start everything all over again? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

Hi there, here is the link to the Packet 3 (http://photos.state.gov/libraries/canada/303578/montreal/Packet3-K1-MTL.pdf)that tells you about what the Consulate will want you to have before they send out or email you the 4th packet. Once they send you Packet 4 by email or snail mail, most likely email as that is what most of their communication is by now, you will be able to schedule your interview and pay your visa fee which is $240 unless they have changed the fee. You can pay it online at the site where you set for courier by credit card or you can go to a local bank with a MRV receipt paper and pay there. Hope this helps and that you have a smooth journey. Also be prepared to wait 2-3 months from when you schedule the interview to when you actually get the interview in Montreal.

Great thanks for all the info! Wait 2-3 months for the interview!? My NOA 2 expires in early Feb...does that get extended automatically or do I need to do something?
