Hey all,

Well, after bugging Rete earlier and panicing about the whole packet thing,
I finally packaged it all up (5 folders, 1" thick, weighing in @ 1 lb, lol)
and Fed-ex'ed it to Montreal. Since it wont go out until Monday, it should
be there (according to Fedex) by 9:00 AM tuesday morning.

The package was a bit large, that was to accomodate the Xpresspost envelope,
which the consulate said must be 15" x 12" total dimensions. The Xpresspost
envelope is 15.5"x12", and the Xpresspost return envelope is 15.25"x12". So,
I had to bend the end, just slightly, of the return envelope. Just a silly
bit of info for those doing/or about to do, the same thing. I included the
single return reciept, although Montreal asked for '2' return reciepts,
Canada Post only issues one master, and two copies of your actual payment
reciept. So, I included the master, and one of my payement reciepts.

Jenn had sent me the $65 US postal money order to cover the MRV fee. I
paniced once again, because it said "Negotiable only in the U.S. and it's
possesions." But I quickly realized that 1) The consulate is a possesion,
considering it's on U.S. 'soil' 2) That it's made out to the U.S. Treasury
anyway, and 3) I would imagine they'd have thier own banking system that's
U.S. anyway. Least I hope so.

Well, here's hoping! I'm expecting the unexpected to happen, along the lines
of an RFE, or a letter asking me to come for an interview. This is so I
don't freak out if something as such DOES happen. And if it doesn't happen,
I'll be both curious and happy

Even tho it says on the cover letter Montreal sent me: "Interviews for K3
applicants are very rare unless we discover something drastically wrong or
unmatched in your application" I figure they interview everyone anyhow. I
know for SURE they do interviews for all fiance(e) applications (K1) but I
haven't read lately if what they say is true about the K3, and not requiring
an interview.

-Any thoughts, or experiences on this?-

Thanks guys/gals, best of luck to all, and if/when something happens, I'll
post it

It should be:

"The return Xpresspost envelope is 15.5"x12" and the FedEx envelope is
15.25"x12" in total."

Instead of:

"...which the consulate said must be 15" x 12" total dimensions. The
Xpresspost
envelope is 15.5"x12", and the Xpresspost return envelope is 15.25"x12"."

At one point, I e-mailed Montreal about a K3 matter. They replied
that they try to do K3's via e-mail if they can, so they are probably
right about not needing an interview.
