So Many Questions...

[amberlynnloves 125]

So many questions, so little time.

So I will list them. And hopefully someone can help!

1. I got NOA2 yesterday, when do I called NVC?

2. What is NVCs phone number?

3. With Packet 3 on the DS-160 applicatin it asks for the applicant's fathers name, address and DOB. My fiance hasn't spoken or heard from his father in probably 15 years. Will this deny us, if we put UNKNOWN?

4. The birth certificates that need to be brought to the interview...I am not 100% sure I can attend the interview with him due to my job. Does he have to bring my ORIGINAL state sealed birth certificate? Or is a photocopy with my signature certifying it is an exact photocopy of the original ok?

5. My stupid self was so excited to send in the petition that I forgot to make a photocopy of everything. Should I redo the forms from the original 1-129F petition and just date and sign everything again?

Any information helps! Thanks everyone. I think I have a good grasp of the rest of it, as I did most of the paperwork already. Just need to sign and date everything.

Thank you for your help!

Is the DS-160 form even necessary for the K1? I just read that it might not be.

Hey Amber!

Let's go one by one:

1. It's better to call NVC, at least, after a week of receiving NOA2, so you give them time to receive the file and all that. It make take longer, it make take less than a week. It's up to you when and how many times you want to call. We were not the anxious type and called only once after 10 days of receiving NOA2.

2. NVC's phone number is (

(603) 334-0700

3. Not sure if he'll need it or not. You can ask at the Canadian forum

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/93-canada/ but, yes... whenever you are asked about a parent of whom you know nothing about, you can go with UNKNOWN

4. The only birth certificates he'll need to present at the interview are his (the long version). You can give him a copy of the initial petition, but most likely he won't need it.

5. Don't worry, you are not stupid, you are human! Like I said, there's really no need for him to have a copy of the i-129f or anything that you sent on that first packet. If you have it and you want to give it to him, awesome; if not, don't worry about it. Just make sure he has the Affidavit of Support and the Taxes (you can also corroborate what all he'll need at the Canadian forum because THAT is Embassy specific.

DS-160 is not for K-1. Go to Embassy link and look up Canada then pick Vancouver or Montreal to get links/instructions to Packet 3!

Because you didn't get an RFE, I would assume you're safe without having a copy of the paperwork. I also didn't keep a complete package and luckily am at the NVC stage. I got a Case # within 1 day of the petition arriving at NVC. However, the case is still "under review" and I will be on Day 13 business days at NVC now.

I did this and on the Package 3 for Montreal, it lists a confirmation of the DS 160 for a Package 3 K1. So I had no idea. Because then I saw on the Department of State website it said it wasn't needed. So this is a weight off my shoulders! Thank you

I'm currently working on Packet 3 documents,and feel like I'm going in circles. The DS160 online, yes or no? The instructions ask for confirmation of onlineDS160? Anyone recently submit their documents? Did you or didnt you complete the DS160?

I'm mailing these in to the Montreal Consulate.

I actually just did this with my fiance last night. Yes its online only. You fill in all the information and at the end they give you a confirmation page with a bar code. It is very important that this be printed out and sent in with Package 3.
