Hi,

I understand the need to do something-anything!

P3- will send you a chek list of what you will to have for the interview; you don't need to have it all, if you don't just check that you do to whatever pertains to your own case. This way you can send it back asap, and then you can compile what they requested. Your long form b/c for example...any div decree/death certificate; as i said whatever applies to you. They will also request some forms which some you download/some you do line and send back with your p3. They asked me for ds-230 - 156 and 156k

you will also need a photo of you..mm trying to remember, lol. police background check..canada wide and any other country/places you may have lived. look around here, i am sure you will find what you're looking for!

Good Luck

if you're going through MTL...IT'S A VERY SLOW PROCESS! Sorry to say...but a bunch of us are waiting and waiting!

It may depend slightly on whether you're going through MTL or Vancouver, but for Vancouver you need to include:

Passport

Birth certificate (bring the original as well as a photocopy so that they'll give you your original back)

Police certificate (must be a Canada-wide police check)

2 U.S.-size passport photos (2" x 2" - the CDN passport photos differ in size slightly)

Previous marriage/divorce certificates/decrees, if any

Medical exam (you will have the results before your interview. If you're going through Vancouver and your medical is same-day, they'll schedule your appt for a Wed or Thurs and will allow you to return to the clinic in between)

DS-160

DS-230 Part I biographic data

DS-156K (note the above 3 forms can be downloaded from USCIS.gov)

I-134 Affidavit of Support (include supporting documents such as sponsor's employment confirmation letter, past 6 months paystubs, 3 years of tax transcripts if available (these can be ordered from the IRS on their website)

Fee: $350 USD. In Vancouver, this must be paid in US cash or the CDN equivalent

Of course, if you have children you will have to bring proof of custody, if you have a criminal record you'll have to bring proof, etc.

One other thing you may want to include is updated letters of intent from you and your fiance, similar to what you may have sent with the initial I-129F filing but with more current dates stating your continued support of the petition and intent to marry.

Here's a link to the Packet 3 on Vancouver's website. Montreal's MAY differ slightly, I don't know.

You can always check out the canada wiki, there are pages for both montreal and vancouver, you can also read the reviews from each one that were done recently.
