I'm so freaking confused

[Emily and Nathan 39]

omg- thank you both so much- this is such a huge help- and not gonna lie...a big relief since these forms made my brain hurt...

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPS- Meilissa- that montreaql consulate link wouldn't work for me for some reason? Said page not found.

Ignore that stuff you pasted above and just use the checklist, looks like you may have stumbled upon an outdated page prob through a search engine. If you maneuver through the Montreal consulate website you should end up here http://montreal.usconsulate.gov/visas/visas/fianc-k-1-visas/steps.html.

The only online form you need to fill out is the DS-160, and then print out the confirmation page which has your barcode #. Save it. Ignore all those other forms (230, 156), they are not needed anymore.

Then go through the checklist and put a check beside the things you have (or are in the process of getting), and write N/A beside things that don't apply (ex: divorce certif if you have never been married). I didn't physically have my fiances I-134 in hand when I was filling out the checklist, but I checked it anyways because I knew I would have it before the interview. Sign and scan the checklist and send it back (along with DS-160 confirmation page and passport scan) via email to the consulate.

When I emailed in my packet 3 requirements I asked for packet 4 instructions to be sent to me by email, so I got the next set of info right away. Not sure if Montreal does that too, as I went through Vancouver.

Good luck lady!

I know it can be really confusing!

Go here https://usvisa-info.com/en-CA/selfservice/ss_country_welcome

You need to register here to be able to get to the interview stage, and you can register for courier services too. You have to pay the $240 before you can see any slots.

I was SO confused by all the conflicting info. They definitely need to update some of their stuff. C'mon Montreal!

You can create the account and set up the courier service, then wait to schedule the interview when P4 shows up. The account is tied to your passport number and when you set up the courier service it's tied to your MTL case number.

They are simply a reflection of the province of Quebec`s government! I'm from Montreal I can say that

Just wondering what kind of time period we are looking at for interviews? Like how soon or how far did you guys get your interview dates? Just trying to plan POE, wedding, and visiting him for Christmas... Am I the only one this is driving crazy?!?! I probably just need more wine!

I feel like I'm stalking you

So I assume you received packet 4? How long did that take after sending P3 the email to Montreal?

[Emily and Nathan 39]

I didn't receive packet four.. however it said online that it was ready for me to schedule my interview.. So I did

[Emily and Nathan 39]

Hey Sorry- so I figured this out..lol

So the "ready" message I pasted from this morning... where it says it was ready for me to schedule interview.. the hyperlink brought me to instructions for packet 4...

So the answer is I sent everything for packet 3 on friday... and I got the packet 4 instructions when I logged in this morning..
