Hi Everyone,

So the day has finally come, I'm leaving for Montreal tomorrow morning! My medical is booked for 7:30am 31/08/2011 and my interview is scheduled for 8:30am 07/09/2011... I can't believe it's finally my turn! Now in the final hour, I find myself second guessing myself!! This is what I am bringing with me. Please, Please... let me know if I am missing anything!!

So, how did I do? Can you think of anything that I've missed or anything else that I can add? This is all organized in this order in my "accordion" style folder... do you think there is a more efficient way of organizing it... Also, since I have everything in this folder.. do you think it's a good idea to bring this with me to my medical ... or should I separate my medical stuff and bring it separately??

[CourtneyRox 25]

OOOh and do you guys think I should make more copies? Right now I have the originals + 1 copy ... should it be originals + 2 copies just in case??? And anything that doesn't say + 1 copy means I didn't make copies... Thanks!

Not sure if it's different with K1 medicals, but for IR-1/CR-1 medicals, you need to bring your passport with you (or some other ID)!

And I'd suggest to bring JUST the medical stuff to the medical. No need to bring all the other forms and such for the interview. Wouldn't want you to lose anything while you're there!

I don't know if you have all the forms/documents for the interview, as I was a CR-1 applicant, but I'm sure a K1 applicant will chip in.

It looks like you have everything! one thing for the medical though when I did mine in 2009 medisys wanted to see my passport. They put a copy of my passport bio page into the medical packet I think! cus they took it behind the wall and brought it back and it was warm to the touch. So bring your passport just incase they need it for the medical too =)

Looks good to me! They won't ask for the NOA1 or NOA2 or packet 3 and packet 4. You only need one copy of the things you brought And they keep the original police record.

NOA2 was asked for at my interview for K-1 visa. They kept a copy of it and gave me back the original.

[CourtneyRox 25]

Do you guys think I should have the originals and 2 copies of everything... or is the Original and 1 copy good enough?

The original and 1 copy is good enough. Good luck with your interview! I'm sure you'll do fine.

I was asked for Packet 4.

[pocheros 101]

Regarding NOA2 and packet 4: I stand corrected. I wasn't asked for anything besides what was on the Pkt3 checklist but everyone's experience is different.

I wasn't asked for P4, just for a printout from the CSC site or the email confirming my appointment.

Basically, you never know what you'll be asked for, so bring everything Visa related. That's what I did.

It looks like you got everything you need At my interview they didn't even ask for evidence of a relationship or NOA1/2 or the USC birth certificate really anything besides what was on the checklist.

This is just my own experience, of course, but they asked for:

passport

passport photos

medical exam

birth certificate

birth certificate translation (since my original is in french)

police check (they keep the original as photocopies aren't useful to them)

USC letter of intent

affidavit of support and the supporting evidence

And that's it They kept photocopies where appropriate. It seemed like they mostly cared about the supporting evidence for the affidavit of support (they kept all the photocopies I made for that stuff.) So you're super prepared Just relax, keep your head clear, and you'll do fine! She asked me questions about my fiance like where he lives, where he was born, what he does for a living, etc. Really basic, easy questions, so as long as you know your relationship you should do well.

Good luck!

Edit: also regarding the photocopies, one copy is sufficient unless you want to be extra prepared for the future. I haven't done AOS or ROC yet but I assume they probably want photocopies of some original documents (someone correct me if I'm wrong) so if you make extra copies before the interview it might just save you an extra trip to the photocopier. I made too many copies of everything but I'm hanging on to all of it because I figured it wouldn't hurt.
