MTL CR-1 Interview Doc Clarification

[Moos 0]

Hello all!! I just came back to Canada after a couple weeks in the US (I brought half of our belongings to our home in the US and dropped off one of our cars), so we could drive through the border to the US in one car. So I have been away and just now catching up on the VJ posts.

With that, we have 6 DAYS until my husband's MTL interview (he's the Canadian Citizen) and I am starting to freak out a bit. Well...not majorly, because VJ and the VJ memebers have helped to keep me calm. But I am concerned about a couple of things and I hope someone can help (TrailMix? He He He)

My husband has his CR-1 interview and I am gathering all of our docs in a clear accordian folder.

~We have already submitted his Canadian Police Certificate (as well as other's from tother countries that he lived in).

~We already submitted originals of everything (marriage license, birth certificates, divorce decrees - all as per a RFE)

For clarification:

~The DS156K form that is mentioned to be brought to the interview is only for K1/K3 Visa folks so we don't need it for his CR-1 - RIGHT?

~The I-134 is the Affidaviat of Support and we submitted that. Do we need to bring a new one if my (the petitioner) financial situation has changed(which it has)?

Lastly, how much $$ in American Dollars will we have to pay - or will we have to pay anything additional? I saw on the website that if you paid NVC, then you may not have to pay at the interview. Our finances are tight so I would like to be prepared - but I cannot fiugre this one out. Any ideas?

I have our Tax forms (last 3 years and 2007) ready and a letter from my husband's employer saying that he is getting transfered to the VA, USA office as well as copies of my last 5 paychecks, etc. Of course, I have copies of everything else we submitted too.

AM I MISSING ANYTHING???

Gosh we are pretty nervous. This has been such a long time coming.

Big thanks to everyone on VJ!

The DS156K form that is mentioned to be brought to the interview is only for K1/K3 Visa folks so we don't need it for his CR-1 - RIGHT?

This form is for fiancee visas.

The I-134 is the Affidaviat of Support and we submitted that. Do we need to bring a new one if my (the petitioner) financial situation has changed(which it has)?

I assume you mean the I-864? The I-134 is for K visa applicants.

You should fill out a new I-864 and gather the supporting documents (for instance if you started a new job - you should get a new employer letter) - new pay stubs etc.

You will give this to them if they ask for updated information.

Lastly, how much $$ in American Dollars will we have to pay - or will we have to pay anything additional? I saw on the website that if you paid NVC, then you may not have to pay at the interview. Our finances are tight so I would like to be prepared - but I cannot fiugre this one out. Any ideas?

Nothing else to pay (you need to stay out of the K visa forums )

AM I MISSING ANYTHING???

Did you get the express post envelope, passport photos?

Gosh we are pretty nervous. This has been such a long time coming.

I know it is said often and it's hard - but really there is no need to be nervous. It will be fine, sounds like you have the paperwork under control

Thank you so much TrailMix! I really, really appreciate your clarification and help. I feel like my brain is a pile of mush at this point. I will definitely stay away from the Fiance Visa forums . I guess I really can't believe it is in just a couple of days - EEK! Overall I feel very confident.

Thanks again!
