Packet 3 in Canada

[mhymers 0]

I see posts from people who said that everything was done, and that they could fax the checklist back that day. As I am going through the Vancvouer consulate in Canada, I wanted to know what can be done in expectation of recieiving your package.

I called the NVC, and they recieved my NOA 2 the day before yesterday. I see that most people faxed back the checklist without yet having completed their medical or criminal record check (which only takes about 10 min in BC) I called the RCMP and they said that without a letter stating that they needed it, they wouldn't do a criminal record check on me. I have my birth certificate already....

Do you fax anything else back with your checklist? What else can I do now while I am waiting? As our wedding is already planned for June 17th, I know that we are cutting things close, and every second counts.

Just wait for the checklist... You could probably schedule the medical, but you really should wait until you get the checklist.

They will want the DS-230 Part I from you as well.

First thing you do is fill out and send back by fax form DS-230 Part I right away so you could look up that form

The checklist has on it,

Passport (must have 6 months validity beyond issuance of visa date)

Medical examination, we did send our checklist back in with only the medical exam booked, not yet completed (we just needed the case number to do this)

Birth certificate, make sure it is long form with parents names on them

Police certificate

Court and prison records

5 passport type photos (3 of these are used at the medical), sign your full name on the back of each

Divorce and death certificates for either or both you and your fiance if applicable

Evidence of support along with the I-134

Evidence of relationship

You will be asked to provide them with a day you prefer for an interview appointment. We got the one we asked for which was only a couple weeks from the day we sent in the checklist so make sure you do have all the required documents before the day you request.

You do not need to fax anything else back with the checklist.
