NOA 2 received-- Nothing received from MTL yet

[Tdot 0]

Hi guys,

I have recently heard about Visajourney and wanted to join so i could see if anyone could help me with some questions that i had in mind...

Our NOA2 was approved on the 13th of May, but i have yet not received packet 3 from MTL.. should i be worried?

Also, what should i be expecting in the package? ..so i could maybe start preparing everything needed ..

When it comes to the police clearance.. do i need to get one from the country that i used to live at before, even if i moved to Canada couple of months before i turned 17?

My last question is.. if i wasn't born in Canada and i only have a copy of my Birth Certificate, Will i need the originals at the interview?

Thanks so much in advance..

Welcome to VJ, Tdot. My experience is a tad out of date so I'm just going to refer you to the timeline section of the site.

You are required to have police clearance from every country you have lived in from the age of 16 so, yes, you will need one from your previous country.

K-1 People Waiting for Interviews at Montreal

I'll just add that, no you don't need to be worried. Your file has to travel through NVC BEFORE it goes to Montreal. That can take around a month (sometimes more sometimes less). Montreal is kinda sluggish compared to other consulates so I'd just sit back and look into the links krikit gave you and start collecting the documents you'll need for your interview. Don't panic, you have plenty of time.

Just to let you know, I also received my NOA2 on May13th. I just called the NVC yeaterday to find out what day they received my file and what day it left for the Montreal consulate. I found out it left on the 18th. So I emailed the consulate and found out they have my file and packet 3 is being sent out to me shortly.

My advice would be to call the NVC and at least get your case #. If they give you one, email the consulate, it can't hurt.

I'm sure your packet 3 will get to you soon.

oh wow, thanks guys. i didn't think anyone would actually post a reply so soon... Domegirl, it would be amazing if we get the same interview date.. haha.. when did you file for your petition?

[domegirl1978 1]

I applied January 29th and got my NOA1 on February 6th.

HAHA! That would be awesome if we had the same interview date. Probably not though just because I have to wait a little bit before filing the packet 3. I'm hoping packet 3 comes before i go in June but if not then everything will have to be filed more towards the end of July.

My in-laws are my co-sponsors and they have alot of financial stuff they are getting together and I want to make 200% sure I have everything before faxing the consulate.

But regardless, WE ARE MOVING ALONG WITH THE PROCESS! YAY!
