Nervous!

[nycheryl 0]

Hello!

My fiance has his K-1 medical tomorrow and his visa interview next Monday. I really appreciate everyone's help as we went through the process - you've all been SO helpful! I just hope he has all he needs to get approved on the spot We've reviewed every checklist we could find and he made 2 copies of everything.

It shows the DHL location closest to his house on the CSC website (when we first log in) - so hopefully that's all we need to do?

Any other tips/advice?

I'll make sure to send an update when we have one. Fingers crossed!!

Regarding DHL: yep, that's all you need to do unless you want them to deliver it to his house specifically (add an extra 2 days to the delivery time, and I believe it costs extra.) Unless the DHL branch is really far away it's easier to just pick it up

I'm sure he'll be fine! Did he review the security procedures for the consulate? No cell phones, electronics, large bags etc. are allowed inside.

Good luck

No advice, just lots of 'Good luck' vibes!

Thanks so much!! Perfect - the DHL office is really close, so we're good!

Yes, he's solely bringing his accordion folder with all the paperwork/evidence, neatly tucked away in marked tabs

Good Luck!!! -- Tell him not to be nervous, it's really straightforward! I know this advice is easier said than done though lol.

Be prepared and breathe

Everything will be fine, and don't forget to go pick up your medical ahead of time. He might be asked a couple questions like how you met, when you got engaged, if he or you visited, and that's about it. I remember I was a stress bag and could barely sleep the night before... soon it'll be over

Good luck on his interview!!

I found the K1 interview to be the easiest part of the entire process so far. Everyone told me to relax for days before the interview and I always thought "Sure, easier said than done" ... but everyone was absolutely right. Have all your paperwork and it's honestly a breeze to get through.

Tell him to do some deep slow breathing and it should calm him down. I wish you both the best.

Definitely! He's planning to pick up his medical stuff on Friday. The most annoying part is that he has to be there Tuesday-Monday because of the timing. Luckily, the Canadiens play the Wild (my home team) and the Maple Leafs while he's there - so that should keep him busy.

Thank you, all! You're very sweet - and the reassuring words are much appreciated

Also, KT - I'm right there with you on the LDR front. We've been apart for 3 years (except for a few trips here and there). I'm so grateful we're almost done with this part of our life!

I completely understand!

I am super nervous and in the same boat. I have my medical next week and my interview the monday after that (also tuesday-monday because of the timing)...crossing my fingers for you!

The interview is the easiest step in this process... I found it helpful reading the reviews, it kind of eased my mind knowing what to expect! Here is a link to the review page... http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?trim=no&cty=&cnty=Canada&page=9&dfilter=5

I hear ya! I'm trying to make a trip down every 2-3 months, whenever work can let me go for a week or long weekend... but I *reallllly* can't wait for this part of our lives to be over too!
