Hey, I don't have a good answer to your question, but WOOHOO! Congratulations!

I think it depends on the embassy. You can browse similar petitions by selecting the "view my timeline" option and I think there is a "view similar timelines" option as well where you can modify search parameters and get a general idea.

Thanks but i don't see it. I must be blind lol

also does the documents i need to prepare now only the ones on this document: http://photos.state.gov/libraries/canada/303578/montreal/Packet3-K1-MTL.pdf

Does the documents have to be copies or original? What are the supporting document they talk about when it comes to the I-134 form? For the evidence of relationship, can i use the documents used by my fiance to file our file?

I am going to visit my parents in France in 2 weeks until April 4! I will maybe have to send my packet 3 from there, in that case is the checklist above the right one i will have to send?

Thanks for your help friends!

Congrat!!

My fiancee lives in Toronto but she will do the interview at Montreal so you and I will have similar pathways.

(BTW, I am US Citizen petitioner)

I got my NOA 2 on Jan 25th and about two weeks later, I called NVC and I received my Montreal Case number.

If NVC hasn't received the document from California yet, you just have to call repeatedly until you receive the case number.

Once you have your case number, you can check your status here:

https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

It will eventually change to "Ready" (your document will transfer from NVC to Montreal)

About 2 weeks after my status change to "Ready", I received a mail from NVC indicating that our document has transferred to Montreal (Only petitioner received this mail).

Then one day later, I received a mail from Montreal (this is the Packet 3 mail- It looks exactly same as the link you provided). Both, petitioner and beneficiary, received the packet 3 mail.

Once you receive the packet 3, the beneficiary will need to submit DS-160 form online.

Once the beneficiary complete the DS-160 and all the required documents are ready, you can email to Montreal along with the checklist (check all the documents apply to you and write "NA" if not applicable.)

We are currently at this stage. We haven't sent the email yet but I read that once you send the email, you will receive a Packet 4 which can be used to schedule an interview and medical checkup.

You will bring all the documents listed on the packet 3 to the Interview. I am not 100% sure about the original or copy but my plan is to bring:

Birth Certificate - Copy (but i will also bring the original document just in case)
Police Certificates - Original
I-134- Original
I-134 Supporting Documents - my tax returns 2013,2014 and 2015 (I already finished my tax return for 2015 so we can bring it to our interview), recent paystub, letter from my company stating that I am a full time employee and what my my salary is, and bank statement.

Evidence of relationship - Along with the evidence we sent previously, I will bring additional pictures and a latest phone bill

Hope this help! good luck!!
