grooveman - suggest you handle the I-130 processing at NVC .

Montreal? You qualify for NVC Electronic Processing - have a read?

Good Luck !

Ok, I'm confused now. Our case was completed at NVC on Feb 8th and the next step should be traveling to Montreal for the interview. Isn't that electronic processing just for NVC docs that we have already submitted or is there something I am missing?

This would be for CR1, so not appropriate post for K3 forum. Contact Dept. of State visa information line at 202.663.1225.

Ok, we applied for a K-3 in 2008 that's why I posted it here, I guess its all CR-1 now.

I will call them tomorrow. Thanks!

I searched around the forum but I cannot seem to find an answer. I just checked the automated line at NVC and it said my case (CR-1) was completed Feb 8th. What is the usual timeline to hear back from Montreal?

Thanks

hey trail - i'll see you one K-3, and trump you with a K-3 notice.

Have a read? http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/ty...types_2993.html

Very helpful info thanks again everybody!

What government agency is that? The new policy that kills the K3 is from NVC, part of State. USCIS is the left hand that probably has no idea what the right hand is doing. What are you expecting to find out that you haven't already been given access to?

Yeah you're right about the left hand not knowing what the right is doing.. I was mainly just wondering where we would have to go for the final processing. I guess I will hear something back soon enough.

This was current, as of Tuesday -

DS-230 - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3190.html

I-864 - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3730.html

General NVC stuff - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_1335.html

Thanks for all the info, the main concern I had was having to travel to both Vancouver and Montreal but it looks like we won't have to do that. I didn't even know the K-3 was no more (and I even work for the same gov't agency, lol) anyway, I'll call them Monday and see what I can find out..

Probably because, like you, they confused the K3 with the CR1. Both are spouse visas but if you sent an affidavit of support and marriage certificate to NVC, that would be for the CR1, not the K3. Do you know the status of your I-129F petition?

Not sure, I just looked through all my paperwork and all I see references the I-130 only which was approved 09/12/08

Isn't the I-129 for the K-1 visa?

pardon - what were the contents of this last packet to the Department of State?

IMO - you've gots a timing issue here - as

IF the K-3 approval was BEFORE the 1st of February, you MIGHT have some chance for the K-3 to actually be sent through.

Otherwise, the K-3 will be administratively dropped at NVC office, never to go on to Canada, and the I-130 petition will be used - those are done ONLY in Montreal.

We filed the I-130 over a year ago. We are doing it ourselves so there were some delays along the way getting them what they wanted. The last packet with the affadavit of support, marriage cert and police record check was mailed back to them in Jan. Havent heard back yet.

So we should be able to do everything in Montreal then? I don't know why some have told me they had to go to both Vancouver and Montreal..

Hi all, new to the forum. My apologies if this has been covered somewhere else recently.

My question is concerning the interview and medical for the K3. My wife is Canadian and we just sent the last packet to the Dept of State, so I think we are close to the point where we will have to travel to the consulate to complete the rest of the process. What I have heard from some is that we will have to travel to both Vancouver and Montreal in order to complete the process to get the K3 Visa, yet someone else told me they got the medical part done in Calgary.

Is there anyone that has recently completed a K3 in Canada who can shed some light on this for me? We are only a few hours away from Calgary, it would be nice if we could at least get part of it done there.

Many thanks!
