After NOA2/Preparing Packet 3

[jennaleigh 2]

Hi all, I received NOA2 a week ago and am trying to figure out the exact next steps but I see conflicting information everywhere...I think some of it is just old...so just looking for some confirmation. Is the following correct?

In a week or so, I should call the NVC to see if they've received it, ask them for a case number, and that's it. Then a week or so later, e-mail the consulate in Montreal to see if they've received it, and if so then I can start working on Packet 3.

That is what I think is correct, but I've seen some people say you can start working on Packet 3 after contacting NVC, and I've seen some people mentioning calling the Department of State...? I've read all the guides I could get my hands on, just looking for some clarification since some info seems to be conflicting.

Thanks.

Since your application was approved you can now start going things for your packet 3,

A packet 3 is just a list of things you need for the interview, once you check everything you mail or email it back to the Montreal consulatant were they will give you packet 4 which tells you how to book your interview and medical

Best of luck

Thank you. Am I correcting about contacting the NVC and then the embassy? How did you find out Vancouver had received your petition?

Packet 4 will give all the details on it as for packet 3 you will get the documents were ever you are suppose to get them each place is diff but I know for sure a police certificate should be at police station

Thanks but I meant what are the usual documents that they request (the ones listed on the packet 3) I am trying to see if I can prepare some of the documents already like the police certificate.

Hi mash, i see in the sticky guide it says to turn in form Ds -156k, ds- 156 and ds-230? Do we have to fill those forms out and send it with the packet 3? Because the montreal packet 3 list does not say so. Thats where it gets confusing for me Edited March 7, 2016 by DizzyLixt

Sticky thread is old. Form numbers are obsolete. Ds-160 is all you need now.

Thank you so much p.c. Now things make sense. Is it true we cant call montreal any more?

[NikLR 13,227]

You never could. You can email them.

Nope , just the DS-160 will be good
