When I received my letter regarding scheduling my K3 I received a checklist of items to bring to the interview. After the checklist was completed (confirming I had all documents) and sent to the Consulate I was able to schedule my interview. On THAT email confirmation I was provided with a long list of items to bring with me which includes:

$240 (I had to pay that before I was able to schedule my appointment - are they asking for another 240?); Form DS-156 (duplicate) and Form DS-156K?

I already submitted DS 160. So it looks like I've been given two lists?

What list is correct?

K3's are very unusual. Is there a particular reason you are going that way?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

If you look at the K1 Vancouver sticky in the Canada forum you might have a better idea of what Vancouver wants.

It's what I received first. Husband and kids are already living in US and I didn't want to be separated any longer. Airfare/hotel from BC to Mtl will cost the same as filing AOS.

Waited over a year already. Tired of waiting -- too stressful on my family.
