From your timeline it looks like you haven't even gotten your case number from the NVC yet? Much less received Packet 3? When you receive Packet 3 it will tell you what to do. The Vancouver consulate asks that you fax part 1 of the ds230 in right away and then gather the rest of the documents.

Good luck.

11/30/05 Mailed K1 application

This looks really confusing to me, as I have already received the DS-230 form, DS-156 and the instrucations of how to get a medical check, police certificates and so on.... Do you mean this is Pack 3? What does NVC mean?

Yes that is what is termed packet 3. NVC is the National Visa Centre. When you receive the letter with your interview date that is packet 4. :time:

Good luck

Submit the DS-230 Part I first. Collect all your documents as required by the check-list. Once the check-list is complete, send it in. After that, you will get your Packet 4. When you go to your interview, you will take all the documents you have gathered and/or obtained to the interview.
