Hi. I have now received the packet 3 checklist. There are items that do not apply, like death certificates, obviously. Is the request for a marriage certificate used if 2 people ended up getting married BEFORE completing and filing the ds160, and then the pending interview? Thx.

After your petition was transferred to Us embassy, after how long did you receive the packet 3? And did you schedule your interview yet?

Hi. Sorry, I missed this one.

 

My finance (the petitioner) got the letter Monday addressed to me from the consulate (she is in the USA ... and mine has yet to arrive).

 

The consulate created a case file on July 19.

 

I was hoping that the consulate letter would allow me to schedule my medical out in BC (Canada), which will be a week long journey (A day before to hand in the immunization and a "formal" priority date letter ... the medical exam day ... and they say at least 2 business days after before I get my medical pack).

 

Instead, I have a new 15 point checklist to complete and file ......

 

- then I file the ds160

- then I hopefully hear back some time in the next two months (they stated)

- then I can secure an interview

- then I can arrange a trip to BC

- then I can arrange the journey to Montreal

- then I can cross the border again

 

This is sure not playing out like all the blogs/experts stated last year about the i129f/k1 process and timelines (5 months plus or minus 2).

 

Now that this will span well over a year, and 2 school years, I have to make different plans regarding my boys.

 

The only constant has been the shifting sands of time, so we are just going to stop making/changing plans for any family and wedding, and it will just have to be the two of us at a court house when the day arrives. I have unwavering faith in God and love.
