I just registered here. I live in Toronto and my husband in US is going to file I-130 for me soon for K3 visa.

On the form, we need to fill in which consulate in spouse's country for k3 visa. Shall I write Toronto or Montreal? I checked through web, it seems Toronto consulate doesn't deal with this visa. Anyone has idea for this?

Thanks.

I will put on my application timeline once my husband file I-130 for me.

Pray with everyone!

April 28 2007 sent I-130 to NVC

May 22 2007 application transfered to CSC

July 11 2007 received NOA1, decide to apply CR1 instead of K3

Aug 14 2007 touched (not sure if it is touched before Aug 14)

Aug 21 2007 NOA2 in snail mail :)

Aug 27 2007 NVC received our case, number is assigned.

Sep 11 2007 DS3032 and AOS bill generated and mailed out

Sep 12 2007 mailed out DS3032 from Canada and hubby mailed AOS bill in US. DS3032 will arrive NVC 3 days slower than AOS bill.

Sep 18 2007 Auto msg says NVC received DS3032, didn't mention AOS bill yet.

Sep 24 2007 IV fee bill generated

Oct 8 received IV fee bill. Still waiting for 864form

Oct 13 received 864form letter. It was issued on Sep 24 at NVC. Mailed out 864 on Oct 15

NVC agent said they don't receive IV fee bill nor 864. Send out IV fee bill again end of Oct.

Nov 8 IV fee bill entered to system

Nov 12 DS230 generated. But agent still said 864 is not received yet.

Nov 20 resend out 864 again(Hubby forgot to write case number on documents last time)

Nov 27 NVC Auto message said received 864, now waiting for 230

Nov 29 230 delivered. Will arrive at NVC next day.

Dec 3 NVC received 230 and put into its system

Dec 13 NVC operator told us the case is in administrative process.

Dec 14 Called operator again, and magically the case is completed!

the consulate would be Montreal.

time-lines for Montreal for k-3's and k-1's have been painfully slow. if you havent already , have a look at the CR-1 option as they seem to be completing almost as fast as the k-3 through Montreal. in the end you'll save money and some paperwork headaches.

stop by the Canadian forum

What would happen is the OP wrote Vancouver on the form? Think they might overlook it and send it to Vancouver?

I want to ask the same question. Can I just write Vancouver as the consulate office?

If it was me, I would write Vancouver. If it goes to Vancouver and stays there, awesome. If it does get sent to Montreal, it was worth the try.

Sounds like a good idea. Actually, I plan to move to Vancouver in a few months, as my husband is in Seattle. But we need to fill in the address now anyway, so I write my relative's address and number for now. Does the movement really matter? If consulate only contacts by snailmail, they it is okay, I can still receive them.

I realize it is really a hard time for both of us.... :(

Is your Relatives address in Vanvouver or in Toronto?

His address in in Toronto. I don't know where to move to Vancouver now and for the current 3-4 months, I will still be in Toronto.
