Getting it all together

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

Hey guys

It's been a lazy Saturday. I went to Staples and bought a 13 slot accordion type folder for all my paperwork to take to the interview.

Now, I know that people on here have posted over and over and over again what they are bringing to the interview and I've used the search feature and haven't come up with one...we need a new search engine on this site!!! Anyway...

I also thought I book marked a few of the pages but apparently, I did not.

So I'm breaking up the sections of the folder and I want to just type it all out here and see how I've done.

Any input or suggestions on anything I'm missing would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you are all having a great weekend

1) Birth Certificate (My original, plus a copy of it and a copy of Nick's)

2) My passport, a copy of Nick's and my two passport pictures needed for the interview

3) Files Needed: DS230 part 2, DS156K, Copies of the ones I sent in with package 3, DS230part1 and DS156

4) My original marriage and divorce certificates, plus copies of each

5) Police Certificate plus a copy

6) Medical exam folder

7) Affidavit of Support I-134 (notarized) plus supporting documents, 3 years of Nick's tax returns, Nick's pay stubs from a few months, a letter from his employer and bank statements. I'm going to throw in a few of my pay stubs too.

8) Copies of NOA1 and NOA2 and Appointment letter

9) New letter of intent from both Nick and I

10) Proof of Ongoing Relationship: photos, emails, letters and phone bills

11) Travel Documents since filing original petition: boarding passes, receipts and bank statements from restaurants and stores purchased in Canada and the States

12) Other stuff: Copy of receipt for engagement ring and our wedding bands, any other stuff I want to throw in.

That's it....how does it look?

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is notarized (by a US Notary Public), with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.

7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

Examples: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

I second that emotion. Wow, amazing how posts suddenly become so useful and things clearer now that my sister (and your twin) isn't around. You look good to go, now there's only one more thing you need, an interview date.

C'mon MTL!!!!!

I miss her too, just don't let her hear that I said that. It's snowing tonight in Seattle and her parents are flying in so I'm a bit concerned about the roads.

I'm glad I make you smile Laura you do the same to me, besides who else is going to join me in mercilessly teasing Len. Waiting is never fun and a pleasant wait makes life more enjoyable.

I or my girlfriend never made a copy of I-129F.

Will I really need it for my interview in Montreal?

They should already have this but it's always a good idea to have a copy.

If you don't have one, you don't so I wouldn't stress too much.
