k1 filers - NOV-DEC 2018 NOA2-->Consulate.

Can anyone tell me if montreal-niv@state.gov is the right email address for the K1 inquiry? I need to update my email address to get packet 3!

Immigrant  If you use the link from this doc, it will take you to a less confusing entry page that let's you select for a K Visa rather than trying to remember if K1 is IV vs NIV: https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/iv-dv-supplemental/MTL-Montreal.pdf (And just in general this doc is way more helpful than P3 or P4 I think)

 

 

Thank you so much appreciated!

Let me update my response since I misread (gah!). 

 

Email the immigrant one. I did not get a response that I had emailed the wrong address, I just got a completely irrelevant and unhelpful response. 

 

I wish you greater success than me.

I'd say it'd be Montreal-IV-DV@state.gov since that's where we send back P3. Maybe just send to both.

For those waiting on P3 - I think the holidays and the shutdown have REALLY slowed things down... We sent in P3 on 12/31 and still no P4. Considering almost all of the most recent applicants got P4 either the same day or the following day, I feel like there might be one officer grinding all the Packets in MTL 🤣

It has been really slow, still no P3 for us. I did notice today that my CEAC Case Last Updated date changed to 1/7/2019, but I didn't receive any emails

How do you see "case last updated"? I only see "at NVC" but no dates.. 

[d24v 200]

Good news - after my follow-up query to Montreal, I have confirmation that they have updated my address.

 

Pretty sure I got a bot form response to the first email, so I'm glad a human read the second one.

 

We now resume our regular schedule P3 waiting.

There should be 2 date fields just under the status: "Case Created" and "Case Last Updated", from what I remember these 2 dates only show up when your status changes to "Ready"

Ahhh, i see. Thank you Ron.

Enjoy your relatively short stay in “In Transit” land and then welcome to the limbo that is waiting for P3.

 

Try not to become bitter when people from other countries have their interviews before you even get it. That’s my goal!

Still no P4 for us 😂 My what a fun journey.

We sent out P3 yesterday without waiting for the p3 instructions and this is the response we got:

You were received about 5 days ago at the consulate according to your timeline? If that is the case its going to take more then 5 days to get to P3. It looks to be taking a few weeks at the least. I am sure it will happen...hang in there!!
