Hello Everyone,

I have my interview in Montreal on Friday June 13, 2008!

I am very excited, BUT VERY NERVOUS!

I have a few questions:

1. I sent my original and my US fiance's original Birth Certificates already....will this be a problem? Will I get them back in Montreal?

2. I forgot to make a copy of my DS-156K..I sent the original and it is already signed. Will that be a problem?

3. My criminal record check did not include fingerprints. Are fingerprints necessary? I saw that someone else needed them. Can someone please tell me if I need fingerprints done for my interview?

4. My letter of Intent is Dated May 4 and my interview is June 13...should I get a more recent one?(May 4 was the last time I saw my US fiance)

Here is what I am bringing to Montreal....does this sound good?

~My passport

~2 passport style photographs,

~$131 US CASH

~Medical, x-rays, and vaccination records

~I-134, Affidavit of Support (Notorized), letter from bank, letter from boss, pay stubs, bank statements (US Fiance)

~Letter of Intent (from myself and US Fiance)

~All letters, NOA1 and 2 etc...

~Photocopy of package sent to Vermont and to Montreal

~Proof of an ongoing realtionship (photos, receipt of engagement ring, e-mails, facebook chats etc..)

~Xpresspost envelop (National)

is that all I need?

I appreciate anyone who can answer any or all of my questions!

THANKS!

:)

Hi Melissa,

Montreal is a nice, easy Consulate for interviews so you can start breathing again:-).

You can ask for your original birth certificates back - the interviewer will have them in the file.

You will probably have to 'sign' again as your signature needs to be witnessed. Again, it will be in the file with the adjudicator.

You only need a fingerprint check if you have any sort of criminal record. If you don't, then a Canada wide name search is fine.

Your letter of intent is current enough - no need to worry:-).

Your list looks good. You will be fine! You just might want to add a magazine or book to read if you have to wait a little bit until the interview. They are usually pretty quick but a magazine may help make the time pass a little bit more comfortably:-). Good luck!
