Interview March 30

[dalts 0]

Hi guys,

I have an interview set for March 30th. I haven't received any notification saying I need a medical? I just got approved and my next step was to schedule an interview date. Does this seem right? I thought I needed a medical done

Have you researched your Embassy's website for the steps, required payments and schedule? That's where you should start. Each Embassy is different.

Hi, hubby goes to his interview appointment April 5. As soon as we got the appointment, he called Medisys and scheduled his medical appointment. His appointment for that is March 30. He got emails confirming the appointment a couple days after I called NVC and found out it had been scheduled. And today we got an email from Montreal consulate (P4 packet) providing instructions for medical, courier, etc. Do you have email set up for NVC? If not, it will take longer for you to recieve your packet via regular mail. I would call NVC and/or consulate and ask them why you haven't received mail notification and see if they will resend it if it has already been sent. Check your junk mail folders too in your email in case your email provider is sending it to junk mail!

The consulate website has most of this information on it about medical etc. Be proactive! And good luck!!!

You sent your P3 and got a P4 before booking an interview.

Right?

turns out I did get the Packet 4 in an email. At the very very bottom of it it had (Packet 4). All good, I now have my medical booked. I have one more question though, on the checklist we have of things to bring to the interview, what if some of the items don't pertain to us, such as the court documents, Adoptions decree (s), Marriage certificate (s), Death and/or divorce certificate(s) etc. Do we just put N/A on the checklist and not include them I assume?

What's the letter beside the ones that are not applicable? It should be F, which means it's not needed.

Are you K1? You should have received packet 3 and not packet 4.

I know on Packet 4, there is a page that explains the codes that you see on the checklist of documents. Is there something similar in your packet?

I got my Packet 3 already, I submitted the Packet 3 with the checklist check marking the things I have as well as the passport photo and the DS-160 bar code. They replied with the Packet 4 literally right after. It says "if applicable" in brackets in the instructions with no code letters suggesting anything. In the email "Packet 4" that I got it just says to Schedule your visa interview appointment, pay the fees, get a Medical, and then what to bring on the day of your interview. Then it says what to do after the interview. I am going for a K visa.

how come some people replying to this show that they got DS-260s? and I just had to get the DS-160 in order to schedule a K Visa interview?

[morgan.croft 210]

Oh, I understand now. I apologize.

Ignore my initial post

So I would bring everything that is applicable to your case.

CR1/IR1 visas don't get a packet 3, they only get a packet 4, which tells what to bring, and codes explaining what each means.

DS 260 is only for CR1/IR1. It's not for K1

OK, can you see my last post, it added to the original post. I was wondering why people had to get DS260s when I only had to get a 160?

I saw your post! let me read it

What is the CR1/IR1? for already married folks?

Yes, CR1/IR1 is for when you are already married.

Gotcha now. Do you know if, once issued the Visa, it expires at all? Hypothetically speaking, how long do you have until to must cross the border to marry. I know that once you do cross you have 90 days, but is there a time limit you must cross within? Does that make sense at all?

I believe it's usually valid until your medical expires.

I am sure someone with more experience should be able to confirm if that's correct or not.
