Wow!!

Congratulations!!

I have my interview tomorrow morning and I'm super stressed/excited/nervous/can't wait :)

I have a few questions that I would super grateful for:

1. How long did the process last?

2. How early did you get there before your interview?

3. Did you have to submit pay stubs/letter from employer from petitioner with the I-894

4. What did you need to submit as proof of residence?

5. Is the visa actually approved the day of?

6. When will the visa actually be issued?

Thank you so much!!

If you are asking about the entire process, we sent in our I-129F in late February. If you're asking about the interview process, we were in the building at 7:35 and out by 10.

We got to the Consulate at 6:50 and there were already 4 couple ahead of us.

We submitted pay stubs. We had everything imaginable with us because we've read that a lot of things were asked for so we decided better to be safe than sorry. Just bring everything you can think of. We had the letter from my employer, pay stubs, w-2's, tax returns, tax transcripts, etc. For residence I had a copy of my lease and my voter's registration card.

We were told that the visa was approved at the end of the interview. He told us that we should get our package from DHL within 5 days. I would guess those are business days.

Good luck on your interview. Just be prepared and organized and I'd sure you'll do fine.

You do not need the I-864 for K1 visa in Montreal.... You need to do the I-134 ...Tax transcripts, and pay stubs and letter from employer.
