Hi, a few questions questions here...

In the DS 156K after question 5 it says: the following documents must be attached in order to apply (birth cert, police cert, evidence of engagement, evidence of financial support.

For the evidence of engagement, would that be photos of the engagement, and the ring ..?

For evidence of financial support. Would that be my fiancees I 134, and letter from his boss + pay stubs? If so, I guess he should fill it out and send me copies?

I'm assuming copies of everything is ok and i bring the originals to the interview?

Thank you for your help and God bless

Evidence of engagement also includes a letter of intent, just like the one originally sent with your I-129F package, but dated closer to your interview date.

And yes, the financial support is the I-134 and the supporting evidence.

I'm not at that stage yet, so I'm not familiar with the originals/copies thing. I believe the originals are required at the interview, as well as copies.

It's not mandatory to include receipts of the engagement ring's purchase or photos of that. I don't have an engagement ring and it was never brought up during the interview. Supply the consul with photos of you and your petitioner. 10 photos should suffice. You can also provide chat logs, video call logs, emails, snail mail. Documents that prove that you have an ongoing relationship.

For the evidence of financial support, you should submit the I-134, petitioner's employment letter, recent pay stubs, W2's and ITR's. I brought two years worth of W2's and ITR's but the consul only asked for the recent ones. ('09)

I brought copies to the interview. I even had copies of the original petition just in case the Embassy misplaced the papers. Bring an updated Letter of Intent to Marry. Some say that it's not required but I presented mine at the top of my "Evidence of Existing Relationship" folder. The only originals I submitted at the interview were the police certificate, birth certificate and CENOMAR.

I understand I need all of the above for the interview but im just asking about what to send in with my DS 156k...I dont want to send them a bunch of stuff they dont need...i know people get annoyed with extra papers...so I just want to make sure i send in what they want.

so copy of I 134 and updated letter of intent is all? or should i also send in some more photos and the letter from his employer?

if im sending copies...can my fiancee just fax me everything?

In the U.S. Embassy in Manila, we pass all these papers at once so all those things I previously mentioned were included in my file.

Anyway, you'll need an I-134 filled up by the petitioner and then the updated letter of intent plus additional photos and an employment letter. From my understanding, the letter of intent needs to have his original signature on it. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Faxed copies, I'm not sure of so hopefully someone on here can clarify that for you. I don't see why not though. The ITR's and W2's can be copies as well as the pay stubs.

As I recall, Vancouver just wanted the fax of the DS-156K itself, and only wanted the rest of that stuff physically delivered at the interview. Montreal may do things differently. In your shoes, I would email them to find out for sure. Vancouver were so good at promptly and authoritatively answering emaisl, I didn't even need to read VJ during the consulate application phase. :)

Since Montreal's opinion is the only one that matters, I would check with them personally. Let us know what they say!

I did not "attach" the supporting evidence with teh 156K but I will have it with me present at my interview. I do not currently have an interview but I was not sent and RFE and my status is currently "elidgeble but not schedualed". I too am going through Montreal, it si a bit confusing as one paper says to bring to interview and then 156K said to attach. I used my common sense and since they want originals of teh documents its not soemthing that we would mail so I decided I would fill it out but I only sent back - Form DS-230 Part 1

- Form DS-160

- Form DS-156

- Form DS-156K (two copies)

-Confirmation Receipt regarding DS-160 submittal online.

- Checklist indicating all required documents have been obtained.

Copies of documents submitted are exact photocopies of unaltered documents and I understand that I may be required to submit original documents to an Immigration or Consular officer at a later date.

Signed,
