Submission is required.
Eelavan,
If you look up OF-169, you\'ll notice the print at the end of the form:
"...you will not be scheduled for an appointment until you submit this form...".
A way for the consulate to insure that you possess all documents.
My guess is, since we submit the actual documents in P3, we do not need OF-169 for Montreal. Could someone please confirm this?
