From 156 K

[Elisinha 1]

Hi guys, I have a question about DS 156k. I`m the beneficiary - my fiance is the petitioner . Our interview is in Montreal

There is a part that says: THE FOLLOWING DOCS MUST BE ATTACHED IN ORDER TO APPLY etc...

* Birth Certificate * Evidence of Engagement to your Fiance *Evidence of Financial Support

*Marriage Certificate *Divorce Decree * Death etc.. * Police Certificate

1) We are not officially engaged. What can i use as an Evidence of engagement? :/

2) Evidence of support, from me or form my fiance?

3) If they ask to bring these documents and their photocopies at the interview, why do we send AGAIN together with package 3?

Can anyone that had or will have an interview in Montreal help me with that?

Thanks

The DS-156 is a bit confusing- you DO NOT attach any of these documents to packet 3. Instead, you bring them with you on the day of the interview. Packet 3 simply consists of the forms, two 2"x2" photos, and a photocopy of the biographic info page on your passport. That's all you'll be mailing back.

Evidence of engagement is a letter of intent signed by the USC within 30 days of the interview. Don't worry if you haven't bought each other rings or made wedding plans yet.

Evidence of support will be the I-134 filled out by your fiance, the USC. They will need tax returns or tax transcripts showing that they meet 125% of the poverty guidelines. If they do not meet the requirement (it's something really low for two people, like $18,000 annual income I think) they will need a co-sponsor.

Since your country of nationality is Brazil I suggest you bring evidence of an ongoing relationship to the interview. It's usually not requested in Montreal but they might be harder on you than usual.

Thanks for your help, as always.

I was freaking out about getting ALL these papers twice.

Why do they say that on the form, thou? I dont get it!!

What do you mean by they "getting hard on me" ? My fiance came to Canada 4 times. I live in Toronto, thank God we have lots of proof.

Again, thanks for your detailed reply.

I will have lots of questions!

I just mean that they may be more likely to request evidence of a relationship from you, but you have nothing to worry about if you come prepared. I don't imagine Brazil is a high fraud country or anything. You'll be good to go

We become so sensitive at this time that every this can "scare" us sometimes ahahah..

I know what you meant, my case is different because I`m not applying from my home country .

Yeah, everything will go well. Thanks for now.
