Really need help here: Diversity Lottery interview date?

[dalts 0]

Hi everyone,

I am very confused at where I am in the process. Here is what I have received over the last few days:

1) an email stating that my visa case is being processed by the Montreal Consulate General of the U.S. It tells me to complete the Packet 3, and send them the checked checklist, a copy of my passport, and the application form (DS-160). I did all that, emailed it to MONTREAL-IV-DV@STATE.GOV.

2) A short time after I emailed those documents, I recieved an email that stated

-----------------------------------

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.

Schedule your visa interview appointment

Please visit http://canada.usvisa-info.com to obtain information online or via telephone concerning scheduling an interview appointment for you and those family members included in the petition. If you have not previously registered your information and selected a Loomis courier location on this website, please do so now.

You must have the Passport Number, Date of Birth, Nationality, MTL case number, and visa category for each applicant (principal applicant and all family members, including children) ready in order to access the website. When prompted to select “Trip Purpose”, you must choose ‘Permanently Immigrate to the US.’ After entering your information, you will be prompted to select an appointment time for you and your family.

Fees

If you have previously paid all fees due to the National Visa Center, there will be no additional fees to pay on the day of the interview. If you have not paid fees at the National Visa Center, please be prepared to pay the following fees on the day of your interview.

---------------------------------------------

3) I went to http://canada.usvisa-info.com where I selected an interview time (only one available apparently) which is January 7th. I also have a medical date.

According to this website (process attached below) I am all over the map for what to be doing and what I have done -- http://travel.state....yment-faqs.html

----------------------------------------

• Right now I have an interview scheduled. All I have done is been approved for the Petition

• I have not recieved my Packet 4, does that come after the interview?
• Does this process sound right? I have everything I need for the interview (according to what the pack 3 checklist says) and the medical.
• I have not chosen an agent
• I have not paid for anything (as I and do not have the DS-260, I tried to do the DS-260 but it says that the DS-160 needs to completed (which it is)).
• I feel like something is wrong here and something isn't added up
• The only forms I have submitted since the email for me to do the DS-160 are the Confirmation of the DS-160, Passport copy, and checklist showing I have the items required.
• What is the "Diversity Lottery appointment" I have also selected my "Courier"

IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME HERE I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. MY INTERVIEW IS VERY SOON AND I AM VERY CONFUSED. If you need any other information please ask, you can PM me or email me m.dalt@hotmail.com.

Thank you in advance

Dont know where the visa lottery part came from as Canada is not allowed to apply for lottery for 2016

but you are set for interview for K 1

you do not need an agent / we didn't use one

Good thing I checked, I applied for the wrong "IV Service type." After I send the email to MONTREAL-IV-DV with the documents they want (when I have the checklist completed), do I wait for them to contact me back and give me the DS-160 number?
