Thanks a lot July09Bride for your help :)

So .. Interview for me is today, hopefully everything will be OK, wish me luck :D

For those who have the interview today in Montreal, there are a bunch of peoples protesting in front of the embassy. They where there Saturday, Sunday, today and still where there when I left work at 12pm. Cops where there to check in case of problems .. I do not know what the heck it is all about, but I just wanted to let you know so you are not too surprised (in case they are still there)

Good luck today :thumbs:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

We got our interview yesterday. We had our K1 visa interview yesterday in Montreal and we came back last night with a big smile... Ge got approved too. They are really nice so my advice just prepare well. stay calm and enjoy the experience. I was so excited when I heard we were approved that I completely forgot to ask about the instruction, what to expect or to do when the Visa arrives and what would happen when I took my packet to the airport in Ottawa. If anyone knows or have any instruction ( I read that some received an instruction sheet at their interview in Montreal), please would you share it.

Thanks and the best to all of you. Will keep you posted.

Hey guys!!

I know this has probably been answered a million times but I am going to ask again and make it a million and one times :) I am doing my affidavit of support (I-134) and if I make well above the 125% povert limit do I have to get bank statements and assests statements from stocks and bonds. I am thinking the answer is no but just want to make sure. I put my annual income, I am going to bring my 2007/2008 tax returns, I have a letter frm my employer, I am going to bring past three copies of pay checks. I also put down how much I think my current home is worth and how much I owe on it. (Is this part necessary?) If I do put my house information should I get a copy of how much I owe on my mortgage or just omit the whole house thing all together? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

I believe you only need prof of those assets if you intend on claiming it as part of your income. So, if you didn't make above the 125% range, you could include them to meet that level. But since you say you make well above, I really wouldn't bother. But if it would make you feel more comfortable and wouldn't care you much extra work, it can't hurt your case!

I'm the USC and I make more than the 125%. I still had to provide 2008 tax returns (the real one) but, I also included tax transcripts from 2006-2008 along with copies of my 2008 W2s. Those things specifically were requested... the rest I gathered b/c I didn't want there to be any questions! lol In addition, I provided a letter from the bank stating info about my account (when it opened, total amount of deposits for past 12 months), I also had my past 6 (most recent) pay stubs, a printout from my online banking with accounts and balances, as well as letter from my employer stating that I'm an employee in "good standing" and that I make X amount of money as well as a form stating that I will be returning next school year. Lastly, I also included info for my retirement accounts... printouts from accessing my accounts online.

As for the information regardng your home's worth, yes, it is required b/c the info is on the I-134 and you do need to know about how much you still owe on the property.

Isn't this FUN!!??!! lol

I can't beleive I need to bring print outs of my 401k plan. What a pain in the butt. I am just going to print the stements that I can see online, I would have no idea who to contact to get the information "certified" from the people who hold my 401k. I am just going to submit my 1099 that i received at the end of 2008 showing what my principal balance was on my home at that time. I think that should be good enough. I guess I will go get my checking account bank letter and savings account, better to be safe than sorry. Just seems crazy to me if we earn over the limit why all that other stuff is necessary. Government lilkes to know your whole life story I guess.

Thanks everyone :)

I am SO happy and excited that we got approved, this is like a dream come true .. My fiancee and I will finally be able to be together and start our life together :D

For me the interview was kinda stressful though, but then again I often let the stress get to me too easily :huh:

I was with 3 other couples and we had a nice time chatting and joking around together .. definitely helped get rid of some stress.

To those couples, it was nice sharing the interview experience with you. You all seem like great people and I wish you the best in your future life together :)

Not to forget the people working at the embassy, they are all very nice and professional :)

Congrats ChristinePR, nice to hear you got approved too :)
