Can I fill out P3 forms before P3 logged at MTL?

[mapleleafmanny 11]

I'm not asking if I can mail P3 with it's being logged...I know I need to wait for that lol.

My question is whether I can fill out forms (especially online forms) before it's logged, since that would mean the date on it would be posted as prior. I already have my MTL case number from NVC. (so basically, I'm wanting to have everything prepared, printed and ready to mail right out...but without being penalized for a pre-mature date on docs).

Thanks!

You can fill them out except the DS-160 (that's the one that you fill out on a website instead of a pdf). They won't penalize you so long as the information you provide is accurate and complete.

Thanks! I will "officially" fill out the rest of the forms (minus DS-160) since I'm sure P3 is forthcoming within the next week/week and a half.
