Generally, the petitioner's time is at the visa petition phase. After the visa petition is approved the petitioner is on the sidelines. The approved visa petition is sent to the Dept. of State (NVC), and then onto the interviewing consulate/embassy, now it is in the visa application phase. The beneficiary's is now in the spotlight, contacted by and in contact with the interviewing consulate/embassy, for the visa application, the medical exam, and the financial papers that have to be sent by the petitioner to the beneficiary for use at the visa interview.

HTH.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Hey!

They actually send it to both, I believe. I know many Canadians going through Montreal never physically receive Packet 3 (me included, so far) but my fiancé, the USC, actually received one in the mail on Saturday. BUT....

...since you know that they sent it out, you don't have to physically wait for it to arrive. Most don't, since you are waiting for something that may never actually arrive at your house! The instructions are here - http://photos.state.gov/libraries/canada/303578/montreal/Packet3-K1-MTL.pdf. If you email your Packet 3 docs/checklist today, you will likely receive Packet 4 today or tomorrow, which will allow you to schedule your interview.

Good luck!
