Hey Everyone!

Scott and I got our NOA2 and the letter/packet 3 in the mail dated JUNE 1! Finally. But we both know it's not all smooth sailing from here on it either!

Got some questions about package 3--we are dealing with Montreal

Do we wait till we actually have the documents in hand before signing the checklist and sending it? Or did anyone else just check it and then start grabbing the things--birth certificates-I had the kids long forms somewhere but can't find them so I am going to send away for them again as I need to for mine.

Was going to go get police check a number of times but life has been so busy that I wasn't stressed about it--now that we have package 3--I'm a bit more stressed!

I am assuming that they schedule the interview once this checklist is in and I don't think things will take that long to get. We would just like to have the interview for the beginning of August.

so my question is---sign and send checklist and hope we get everything in time or wait till I have everything in hand--thoughts??

thanks again for everyone's advice, help,suggestions etc

best of luck on your journeys!!

Definitely send in the checklist as soon as you can. Montreal is taking quite awhile to get interviews scheduled and while you're waiting you can get everything sorted out.

Congratulations on your NOA2! :D

Hey Everyone!

I have a quick question about the NOA2. Is it supposed to be sent to the petitioner's address or the fiance's? My fiance is currently visiting me and I've been waiting for my NOA2, but after reading this post I'm wondering if it's waiting at his house. Also, is packet 3 sent WITH the NOA2, or was that just a coincidence in Scott and Angel's case?

Thanks everyone :)
