The link I posted is Packet 3, not a sample. You can get to it through this link: http://montreal.usconsulate.gov/visas/visas/fianc-k-1-visas/forms.html which I copied directly from the automatic response email I got back from the Montreal Consulate when I emailed them my Packet 3 items. I haven't officially received Packet 3 from them yet, but as long as the consulate has your paperwork, you don't really need to wait for them to send it to you, since it's posted online (A lot of Canadian filers have done this - it's mentioned in the Canada forum).

For the items on the checklist that did not apply to me, I put N/A, but I don't know what the preferred method is. To be honest, I don't imagine them being THAT picky about it. I just didn't want to leave it blank because I didn't want them to think I forgot about that item or skipped over it. But, if something comes back to me when I get my Packet 4 about it, I will definitely let you all know!

Can we just get the checklist online and send it to them without waiting the actual one? Ours is still in transit, we have no idea how to check out status but the CEAC, which for me is frustating really, we are Montreal too!

It means something has happened... like receiving your medical results or theyve mailed the beneficiarys packet four

Mine also seems to change when they respond to queries we have.

thanks so much pheeeebbss!!!

Yes, that is what a lot of Montreal filers do, myself included.

From my understanding, the CEAC website is the only current way to check the status of your petition at this point. Wait until it says "Ready" which means Montreal has received it, and then you can email your packet 3 checklist, DS-160, and your passport biographic page to the email address included in the instructions.

Check out the Canada forum if you haven't already. The Montreal guide is slightly outdated, but the information is all there, including other helpful discussions.

Please keep posting your status, cuz we r in the same situation as you. My fiancée is on a student visa and our case is STUCK at NVC since 1/20. We are still waiting for our status to change to "in transit". Due to the bad weather the past week and maybe this week too, our case will be STUCK at NVC for a while.

From what I gather I am GUESSING you'll get a RFE notice asking for a copy of PR card and/or letter. I was advised to EMAIL them the proof of PR and request that further communication be done via email and that they email you pack you packet 3 and 4. I think MTL email address is the same email address of the packet 3 link andymack provided earlier.

"administrative processing"

When calling NVC with your case still stuck there, did everyone get the same response upon calling NVC, "your case is under ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING"?

I am just afraid "administrative processing' mean something bad.

Ok I'm getting it a bit, so all we need to do is prepare everything in the checklist, then wait for the status to be ready, then that's the only time we can email the packet 3, but my concern is I need the letter from the embassy for police clearance application for hongkong and canada, do you think I can just print the checklist and use that for police clearance application? I mean, I just need an idea lol! I can't wait for this real checklist to come..

I will try to post all our case updates but for the moment we are freezed due to snow storm maybe lol! ??? ok if they will ask for PR papers, I don't have those, I only have work permits, I am trying to research about MTL but all I gathered were just like Andymack's..

[MSCastillo 27]

i hope you all hear about interviews soon! good luck to everyone though I'm sure you won't need it.

I went wedding dress shopping and found the dress, it reminded me of that say yes to the dress show haha!

At least if i can tick things off for the wedding that makes waiting a little easier!

I have no idea what the Hong Kong police require for you to get your police clearance. However, I didn't need to provide anything to get my Canadian police check done...just went to the station, filled out the paperwork, waited in line, paid the fee, and received it.

If Hong Kong needs an official email of some sort, I guess you can wait to see if you get a Packet 3 email. If not, then you can just try to use the packet 3 pdf that's on the website. They will literally email you that same pdf so I don't see the sense in waiting.

I got my packet 4! Yay!!! Andy, did you get yours?

It says I have to call them since I made an account before they updated their website. That's annoying, I just want to book my interview!!

[hello1973 0]

Probably too early. The new automated menu wont even let you talk to a person if you pick the option that it's been less than 35 days since your approval. I'd wait another week personally, otherwise you'll spend hours on hold for no reason.

I just called NVC and got my case number. We got the NOA2 on 1/20. It's saying search found no results. It's immigrant right??? I'm starting to panic a bit.
