Interview- SUPER NERVOUS

[Luni 3]

My Husband received his interview date for December 5th. It's not even me that will be going through this and yet I'm still so nervous just thinking about it. He's so shy and short worded so I'm so worried! We've been best friends since we were 14 and have been romantically together for over 8 years now and gah, it makes my heart go up into my throat thinking about this being an ultimate test.

He's booked his flight, made his medical appointment for Montreal. I'm so nervous I can't even THINK of what things I need to give him.

It's easier to just ask people who have been/are going through the same thing. If anyone has any advice on what question's they'll ask him, any tips and what I need to give him... I'd so appreciate it.

I'm so nervous and this isn't even my interview.

Since he is from Canada, so it would be easier.

Just because of your concern that he is shy. Tell him that he has his interview day, and he needs to be his own lawyer to explain his case and satisfied the CO. I know, it is simple to say, but it is better that he do some practice and can get more confident.

To know varieties of questions that can be asked at interview, you both can read the reviews here: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=Canada

It will give him better clue about how he should get prepare. :-)

Hope it helps.

I think that means the 156 and 156 K.... I would bring an original and copy of each of these.

I brought also a complete set of the petition and the packet 3 submission... that way EVERYTHING is there in case they want something. Does he have your completed I134 and recent tax return? If your income is well above the minimum, that is probably all they will ask for but we supplemented with all the other income proof as well. The 864 isn't necessary until your AOS submission, but if you have that and not th e134 you have more than enough... maybe someone case verify if they 864 can substitute for the 134?

Also make sure he has ready in his hand at the door the appointmen letter and a copy of the packet 4 letter and his passport, so they will look at that when they let him in.

I don't think being "shy" will in any way look badly on him!! As long as he listens carefully to what they ask, and answers... they really don't expect long answers, they KNOW everyone is nervous and trying not to babble. You are talking to people lthrough a whole in a glass window in a booth... you don't have a lot of leeway to move or be animated... it's like being at the passport office. Everyone is nice.

I hope this helps!

Did you do a 134? You might want to ask on here about that.

I just got off the phone with the NVC and I wanted to check up with you guys:

She said a copy of the I-864 will be okay and said I won't need the DS-260 or the I-130.

From her end all she told me to bring was the original documents that I had submitted electronically. I can't seem to print out the DS-260 form but she said everything was forward over to the consulate...

She said that the 1 - IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION PART 1 & IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION PART 2 is the DS-260.

I never filled out a 156 form or 134 form. I think those are for a the fiance visas?

I am sorry I always forget to look and see whether it's a kvisa or a married visa. I will watch closer now! Thanks. good luck you will do great!

Good luck!! Have you read any of the Montreal consulate reviews? I find that reading those always help

If you have your paperwork together and no obvious issues you should be fine. They usually ask just a few simple questions and that's it. From the time we went upstairs to the time we were back at the hotel (across the street) only an hour had passed. Very quick and easy. If you did not submit a DS-230 (or even if you did) bring a completed copy with you just in case. We brought all sorts of stuff with us but they did not ask for a single additional document from us. I did see several people filling out the DS-230 on the spot though.

With that said, your experience may be different.

All the best!
