Packet 3 - K1 Visa

[kardib 7]

Hi,

 

We received notification that our case was `Ready` to schedule an interview at Montreal but the steps from Montreal state that they'll send a Packet 3 and then a Packet 4 with instructions. 

Our case has been in a ready state since March 20. We emailed Montreal embassy on March 30th as if we've received the packet 3 but haven't heard from them either. 

What should we do? Is there a way to contact them?

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Hi @kardib, if you've already emailed them the P3 there's nothing else you can do right now but to wait for P4. I believe it took me almost 2 weeks to receive P4 after I emailed them my P3, you should be hearing from them soon. And hopefully they will have dates open so you can book your interview right away and don't have to wait for longer.
Good luck!

Hey Flavia,

 

Thanks for the response. I emailed them the packet 3 as if I had received the Packet 3 (I still haven't yet). 

The case from the CEAC case status page was marked 'Ready' on March 20. 

 

Guess there isn't much to do other that wait. It does seem weird that it seems like they're doing `nothing`..

Do you mind me asking how long it took for you to receive (if ever) your packet 3? It's not on your timeline on VJ.

 I emailed them my Packet 3 as soon as our status turned to Ready, I guess I received the P3 letter in my mailbox about 2 weeks later, right around the time I was receiving P4 by email. It definitely saved me some time. Keep checking your status and the moment you're about to receive P4 the "case updated date" will change to current date (the status will still remain "Ready").

You should really hear from them pretty soon.

Fellow Canadian here, I was just wondering if you guys would be able to let me know what the interview wait time looks like right now when you're able to get on and book one?

Our case status on the NVC website was just updated today! Last Update of today.

How long did it take after that to get the packet 4 email? Sorry, I'm really anxious! hah

Hi! When I received P4 there were no dates available for the interview. I had to wait for about 3 weeks until they opened new dates (I booked on March 16th for the interview on June 1st). From what I noticed in the past few months they seem to open new dates around mid to end of each month.

No luck still. When did they open the appointments for you? I've been checking everyday since the 6th but haven't been able to find anything.

 

Are there specific times or days they add more (if you know)?

I booked my interview on March 16 and I know that before that people booked on February 20 and around December 15, so my guess is that they open dates on the third week of each month. It took me almost two weeks of checking the website before I was able to book, I believe you should see dates available next week - but keep checking this week too, you never know...

I know it sucks to log in and see nothing, but don't give up, you're so close now! On the day I booked I checked at 9am and there was nothing, then at 3pm I decided to check again out of anxiety and there they were the available dates!! I almost fainted! 😂
