Shout out to @Greenbaum his instructions have helped me through thisstage. Every tip at the beginning of this thread worked out, I got email notifications when my case was received, when it got shipped, the case shipped exactly per the schedule( IE approval before the previous Wednesday), the Case number assignment date advice to determine when it was created matched his guidance, and now, the DHL tracking tool gave me some piece a mind over the last few days. I hope to exit this thread in a few days once my goes to Ready, but wanted to express my thanks throughout the complete process. Thank you!!! Roberto

Your appreciation is my motivation.  Thank you. :thumbs:

I can see on DHL tracker that the consulate in Hong Kong has received the case!

How long would it take for them to send me packet 3?

What effort have you made to answer this question? The first thing that I would have done is go to the embassy website and look for the answer. Here, I'll help you with that. Please go over to your sub-forum and connect with others. Asking that question in this thread would not have given you the answer you may of wanted. Others are from other country's and what happens there is quite different then what may take place in HK. Just my experience.

Spend some time at the HK US Embassy website and read up on what the requirements are and what is next. Here is the link: https://hk.usconsulate.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/fiancee/the-interview/ and

Spend sometime in the sub forums for China/HK found here. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/94-china/  There are many experts that can help you along. Most here in this forum are trying to get their arms around their own process and have very little knowledge for HK.

Congrats!!! What kind of questions did they ask the beneficiary??

This is a list of most of the questions that are asked. Keep in mind NOT all of them will be asked. I would spend time with your partner and see if you can give an answer to each one of them in preparation for your interview.

 

-What is the name of your fiancé/e?

-Where did you meet?

-When did you meet?

-How did you meet?

-When are you planning to get married?

-What is your fiancé/es work?

-Have you gone out of the country?

-How long were you out of the country?

-How many times has your fiancé/e visited you?

-Where did you go when your fiancé/e visited you?

-Do you plan to have kids?

-Where do you plan on staying in the US?

-name and DOB

-what year did you meet

-How did you meet

-what are your fiancé parents' names

-your fiancé's employer and job

-have either of you been married before

-other countries you've been to

-do you have kids together

 

These are some of the questions but rest assure that all the questions will be about the petitioner, the beneficiary, and the relationship. Always tell the truth even if the truth is "I don't know". Don't rush in answering and give a straightforward answer. Look the CO in the eye when answering and smile. Don't give a novel as your answer. Just brief and concise. Don't volunteer any information unless asked, this could send you down the wrong road.

 

Don't forget to ask if you passed.

Once we see Ready (and also DHL shipping arrival), do we just wait for P3 email? How long does that take?

I highly recommend using Hank's website for step by step instructions for your interview at USEM. Link is below. Please join the sub-forum for the Philippines and link is below also.

Also, there is a sub-forum for the Philippines here on VJ that you should be a part of. It's a good place to read what others are experiencing which will only prepare you for your interview.

Manila US Embassy states that a scanned copy of the signed I-134 is fine, if you don't have the original.

As always, appreciate the response @Greenbaum. I might have our profile info wrong here because of my own confusion, but to clarify she is Philippines nationality but living/working in Canada (on work visa, not PR).

 

On her 129F we put her Canadian address for where she lives/works, Philippines as her nationality and address abroad, and Toronto for where she'll apply for her visa (we didn't realize it's only in Montreal). NVC gave us an MTL case number and forwarded it there.

 

Is everything in the correct place? Or did we or NVC mess anything up?

 

Edit to add, I tried posting a similar question in Canada subforum a couple days ago, but only got 1 response and no others to confirm/deny what they said.

No everything is fine but you should change your profile so that it reads MTL because that is where your interview. It's done that way so we can quickly ascertain what embassy you will interview at then the information we supply will help. Case in point, no one every though you would be interview in MTL from your profile.

 

Some of this will pertain to you and some won't but all an all it's advance information.

 

You can't hurry it along at all. You have to wait for P3 which takes 2-4 weeks from Ready. Comply with what they ask for in P3 (the actual one they send you) by sending them a copy of the signed P3 checklist, your DS-160 confirmation and your Passport Bio. Then they send you P4. Then they tell you to register to schedule and you'll wait some more for interviews to open up, which only happens once a month during the last week of the month for two months ahead UNLESS you are lucky and you scoop up a cancellation. Get your medical appointment first so you can schedule the interview shortly afterwards.

 

Packet 3: https://ca.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2016/07/Packet3Instructions-K1.pdf  And Packet 4 for reference also: https://ca.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2016/03/Packet4-MTL.pdf

 

For all things dealing with the US Consulate in Canada head on over to the sub-forum for Canada where they will answer your questions for the processing of your visa from their personal experience. Link:

 

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/93-canada/

 

Birth Certificate and Police Certificate information

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aa5iWVtFniXGWavXN0zs-94dewD2Fdfy/view?usp=sharing

 

 

Here is some additional information. As was stated in the Canadian sub-forum there is an "emergency order" application in Ontario. You need the birth cert that is CERTIFIED COPY OF BIRTH REGISTRATION that has the parents name. You don't want the "parental cert" that is a wallet sized one with parents names but no place of birth, doctors who attended birth etc. The parental one is for parents travelling with kids to prove custody in an easy to use/travel with format. Hope this clears up your question. CALL the registrar and tell them you need to do an emergency application otherwise you will be waiting 15+ weeks. Absolutely the long form is a required LIVE document needed at the interview or you'll get rejected.  I hope this info is helpful and best of luck.

 

In case you're doing the medical in Vancouver: Dr. Cheema requires you to schedule the interview first in order to book the medical.

I've checked timelines similar to mine and it seems as if everyone jumps from "Consulate received" to "Interview" Is no one waiting for their P3 to come in the mail or are they just not bothering to update their timeline????

Greenbaum's tips: 

 

How to Find Out WHEN Your Case Number was Assigned

 

For those that don't call every single day and want to know exactly what date their case number was assigned, there's an easy way to find out that simply involves looking at your case number. The first three letters are the three-letter consulate/embassy code. The next four numbers are the year the case number was assigned. The next three numbers are the Julian date it was assigned, plus 500. And finally, the last three numbers are the sequential order of when it was assigned that date. You can find a chart with Julian dates here [10].

For example: MTL2014815162. Let's put some lines in to divide it up. So: MTL|2014|815|162. This means that this case is going through Montreal and the number was assigned on November 11th, 2014, and it was the 162nd case that day to be assigned a number.
 

Okay, how did you do the Julian date? that is so confusing to me, how did you get november 11? from 815?

Take 815 take away 500= Enter julian date 315 and you get November 11
