So this is it... hubby and I are heading up to Montreal on Sunday and then the interview on Monday morning. All things considered, I'm decently calm about the whole thing.

- We have our paperwork and updated tax forms [2005].

- Passports

- interview letter

- proof of relationship [letters, pics, etc]

- they have all other needed documents [DS 230, birth, marriage, etc]

Do we need to bring any money for any unexpected fees? I know this has been a controversial topic... some people say to bring $180 for fingerprints and some say they didn't need that.

Also, anything else that we should know about? [i know we arrive at 7:25, take the elevator up, turn left, window 14... thanks VJers...]

Thanks guys!! This is it!!

No, you won't need to pay for the fingerprints.

Good luck! :thumbs:

Good luck to you! I know I haven't been on VJ for very long, but yours is the first Monday interview that I have heard about. That must make it so much easier for picking up the visa 'next day'.
