Received Packet 3

[dalts 0]

Hi everyone,

We just received out packet 3 and for me to complete the DS-160. I have done that, however, have questions about the checklist.

1) for court records, if I have not been to court does this apply?

2) will the passport of my fiance work for "domicile in the U.S."?

3) if I do not have a date for the interview how am I supposed to get a letter of intent within 30 days?

Thanks

Also, are they looking for two photographs of myself? Like the ones we sent for the petition?

When I got my packet 3 I put N/A due to never going to court and domicile they need more then a passport , my fiancé gave me his latest bill for his car pymts and proof of employment plus his bank info

And yes they need 2 photos but they can be new ones if u didn't get extra that is what I did on mine and yes it is same type of photo u have to get , once u book ur interview which u will once u get packet 4 u will put ur date on it close to the date of it , I had mine nov 10 and my fiancé put the date for nov 3rd

I emailed the MONTREAL-IV-DV@STATE.GOV the DS-160 receipt, copy of my passport, and the check list of everything (which I have already). I got an email back saying "This office has completed the review of the below-referenced immigrant visa case. You are now ready for an interview at the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal, where all interviews for immigration to the US from Canada are processed. This letter provides information on the next steps you must take to continue with your immigrant visa case."

Do I pay the fees first, then make an interview appointment?

When you go on the site that tells you in package 4 u will write down ur info and from my experience on the page they gave me you can't book appointment unless you pay the fee first and I'm not sure why they said interviews are only in Montreal when Vancouver has one as well

Weird

I emailed the packet 3 stuff back, but at the same time I can't book an appointment because i don't have a DS-160 number. The email I got back tells me my next step is to schedule an interview and says to go to http://canada.usvisa-info.com to do it. When I go to that link I sign in and it says for me to pick the "service type that fits your needs." My options are below. The first 2 selections require a DS-260 number, which I do not have and when I go to complete the DS-260 it says that "a DS-160 needs to be filled out in order for a consular section to process the case," the third requires the DS-160 number, which I don't think I have (I only have the confirmation number), and the fourth option doesn't apply to me.

1. I need to register an Immigrant Visa appointment
2. I have received a letter from the consular section with instructions to schedule an appointment.
3. I need to schedule a K Visa (fiance or spouse/child) appointment
4. I have received a letter to register or schedule a Diversity Lottery visa appointment

Do I have to wait to get the Packet 4 in the mail now that I have sent the Packet 3 items in my email? And if so, do I get the DS-160 number from the Packet 4, or notice to complete a DS-260 from the Packet 4?

When I go to see if I can even pay a fee for the documents and visa, I plug in my information into the Immigrant Visa Invoice Payment Center and it comes back with:

The National Visa Center has forwarded your file to the US Embassy/Consulate where you are applying for an immigrant visa. Any other required fees must now be paid directly at the Embassy or Consulate at the time of your interview.

Please contact the US Embassy/Consulate if you have any questions. You can find the contact information by consulting this list of US Embassy/Consulate websites.

When I check my status with the CEAC it says "READY" Your case is ready for you to schedule an interview at the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal. If you have already scheduled an interview appointment, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the Consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment.
