does the packet 3 need to be signed with the full name - first, middle, and last?

Hi all,

So i received our case number from NVC on Monday. My fiancé has about completed the Ds-160. Do we submit that after the embassy receives our information or can we do it now? Is it submitted online or do we need to print it off? I'm working off a packet 3 I found online for Montreal. We've done the police certificate for her already.

For the Canada folk, is the medical scheduled after receipt of packet 4 or can we do it now with NVC number? I'm finding it difficult to find k1 topics under the Canada section that answer my questions.

How long will the NVC take to do there work? I received NOA2 on May 3.

Thanks

DS-160 question - have you ever been in the US? If you answer yes it asks for all visits? Do they really want to know every single time my fiancé has been to the states from Canada? How many are required? Thanks

Even if we don't tell them we had the ceremony? At the interview and crossing into US we'd say we are not married and legally speaking we wouldn't be.

My NOA2 was just approved after a 4.5 week delay due to an RFE. My fiancé has lives in Canada currently and we established a while ago that we'd have the wedding ceremony in Canada (no marriage license) in front of God and our family in June with or without the Visa. Will that be an issue if we do that. In my mind it's a ceremony and no legal documents are generated. We still plan to wait for the Visa and do the legal marriage afterwards. Thanks!

I had an RFE for "circumstances of meeting" and "having met in person - last personal meeting". I provided a cover letter stating we met on Christian Mingle and provided their terms and conditions. I also provided a written statement detailing out first meeting through engagement and until now with exhibits of different proof. I provided two updated intents to marry with wet signatures. I also provided two letters, one from a friend who attached photos of us and stated he met us together and another from my pastor who stated he met with us together.

I had both letters notarized

I sent it off next day delivery last night.

Does that sound sufficient for them?

We met on Christian Mingle. I did a quick search and don't see anything regarding Christian Mingle. I don't believe it's considered an IMB. Thoughts?

I received my RFE last week. One item was that we met online, but we didn't indicate which site. Is it acceptable to only state the name of the site? Will they want something in addition to that?

Thanks

My fiancé went on to Wikipedia and printed out the specific Chat line information that we met on 12 years ago (as it doesn't exist now)... Also did you only send one photo of both of you in it? Or multiples?

I sent in 5 photos of us. Photos of the engagement ring. Photos of the receipt. A photo with the ring on her and us together. I'm not sure how much more I can provide.

I can give them specifics on how we met. One of the requirements they put on the sheet was a statement from myself or her stating that this is a real relationship. I think i'll write one up and have both of us sign it. I also plan to take a photo of us this weekend holding the RFE letter as proof that we've been around each other in the past. Good move or bad? I see her every weekend.

My gut tells me that my lawyer did not send them everything I had given him.

Does anyone have any advice on how to reply to an RFE? Is a cover letter a good idea?

Thanks

Hello All,

I've been following the forum and last week i received a notice that i'll be getting an RFE. I was a little upset as I used a lawyer to avoid that. I received the RFE letter today and its asking for the following:

- Circumstances of Meeting

- Last Personal Meeting

My lawyer had included a signed affidavit stating we met online. They want to know specifically which site we met on. Also, i gave my lawyer photos of us, the ring i purchased, the receipt of the ring, a photo of us with the ring on her finger, emails, and a whole stack of credit card statements highlighting all canada transactions.

Since i'm in the US and shes in Canada, they don't stamp our passports.

Am i missing something? Either my lawyer forgot to send those critical pieces of information or we have not provided enough.

Suggestions?

I've asked people we know to write statements and sign them stating they met her with me. I also asked my pastor to do the same.

Thanks in advance.
