My fiancé and I are applying for a k-1 visa and I have some questions about the process for Canadians.

So I put in my DS-160 and now I am not sure what the next step is! First of all, they didn't ask me to pay a fee. Is that normal for Canada?

We only got the letter from the NVC last Friday so I am not sure if my case has even gotten to Montreal yet. Do I have to wait for an email or something to be sent to me? I have read lots of posts regarding a packet 3 but I have seen some conflicting accounts. Can I just go download it or do I have to wait for them to send it to me?

I know I seem a bit frazzled but I am hoping to get my interview booked before the end of July. I have to give two months notice on my apartment so I am hoping I can give it by August 1st. Any assistance anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

This is the current packet 3 instructions. Google still has the old one as the #1 result, idk why MTL hasn't taken it down.

Sorry to slightly hijack the thread, so Montreal doesn't need the DS-156k, DS-156, or DS-230 part 1? Just the DS-160 (+ the photos and passport data)?

Correct. Those are the old forms they wanted prior to Oct 2013. Quite frankly, I don't know why they didn't switch sooner. All the other forms are redundant, DS-160 is the most thorough.
