First time posting in the forums, long time reader now...

I'm Canadian, my fiance is American. I'm currently visiting him in America.

We filed our I-129F March 15, 2010 and received our NOA2 September 23, 2010. This past week we received a letter from the NVC indicating that they had received the approved I-129F and that the petition would be forwarded to the Montreal Consulate within a week. We have our Montreal Consulate Case Number.

The letter concludes with a paragraph stating "Your spouse will soon receive a packet with instructions from the consular section on how to apply for your K3 visa at that post and what documentation will be required..."

This threw us for a loop. K3??? We're not married. We're applying for a K1 visa in order to get married. Is it normal for them to send us this letter mentioning a K3? Who do we contact to confirm there has been no mistake? The NVC or the Consulate?

Thanks for your help!
