K3/K4 Approved in Vancouver

[tysalanna 0]

My three children and I arrived at the Woking Medical Clinic at 6:20 a.m. We got numbers 15, 16, 17, and 18. We definately should of been there earlier. It was lots of waiting but we made it through. Had to fill out forms for me and all three children. I was the only one that had to give blood and have an x ray taken since my children are all under the age of 15. We were done at the clinic at just after 11 a.m. We were the last ones to leave.

We arrived at the consulate at 12:30. The guards were very friendly. We went for a short walk and they let us in at 12:40. The consulate was very busy. We were the first K visa to arrive. It was lots of waiting, but I really didn't mind. The lady who helped us was very very busy since there seem to be a mix up in the scheduling. She took my information. I had one mix up. The bank had given me two copies of the same receipt instead of pages two and three of the receipt. She was unsure that they could accept them. I also had taken a copy which is not allowed, whoops sorry. The only good thing was that my copies were exactly the same and had two copies of the same one instead of a 2 and a 3 so she accepted them. I was very grateful.

The new check list for the Vancouver consulate does not say you need the marriage certificate for your previous marriages but you still do. I had mine, but not my spouse's. The interviewer allowed it to pass and signed it off. I sent my son by taxi to pick up the medical result after we were finger printed. The interviewer did not ask me hardly any questions which surprised me. I think there was a total of three questions asked that was not related to "do you have the original or copy for this or that". It was as pleasant an experience that it can be when someone has your life and future in their hands. The staff at the embassy were very kind and helpful.

I am grateful to all the help that VJ was to me. The lady commented that I was very organized. I know it would of been a totally different experience if I had not had the information provided by other members on this site. My husband and I are so grateful. Thank you everyone.

Congratulations!! That's so exciting.

I agree with you on the organization part. My interview ( for K-1) was done in Vancouver, and she hardly looked at evidence of relationship because she could see lots of pic's and piles of emails.. All her questions were very basic too. I think being organized so fully, you radiate with confidence.

Once again...thanks VJ for another successful applicant!!

Congratulations! I interviewed at Vancouver, and they had to have our marriage certificate and divorce decrees for all previous marriages. At some point, it was actually missing from the check-list, or so I heard. Either way, there have been people who didn't bring it, and didn't have any problems. Glad she overlooked this for you! They really need to get this straightened out.

Best of luck in your crossing!

The request for previous marriage certificates was missing from my checklist. I would not of even brought mine if I had not been on VJ and knew that they were requested at one time.

Thanks everyone. Yes, we were so lucky to have our interview in Vancouver. It took us just over 6 months for our approval from the day we filed.
