Order in which documents go for interview at Montreal Consulate

[moemac59 192]

Hi all,

Just assembling my documents for my interview in April at the consulate in Montreal. Was wondering if there was a specific order that the docs should go in? I noticed on the review for the Vancouver consulate that there was an order to how the documents should be organized but nothing on Montreal's review of the consulate.

Anyone have any input? Hoping that this will impress the interviewing CO with how organized my documents are. hehe...little brownie points never hurt!

Thanks Moe

Put mine into an accordion folder and pulled the papers out when I was asked for each item.

There does not seem to be an order - at least when I went there they didn't. They asked every person different orders of items when we were all at the windows.

Yeah I sort of figured that it would be this way but also figured that it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks for your response.

Just make sure they get all the documents - the person at my window even forgot to ask me for one of the most important documents they requested.

The order isn't terribly important but the official Montreal consulate website lists what to bring with you in the right order:

Also keep your appointment letter and your passport handy, you will need them to prove ID as soon as you step through security.

I would love to follow an order for my documents too.

But like it was said before, besides of knowing the order is really important WE KNOW and have ALL documents required, because they might forget to ask.

I would follow this order:

So is it I-134 support of I864? Ive read both..We submitted I134s with pack3?

So do we need copies of DS260s.156s 156k or no because we previously submitted? All our immigrtation stuff got mixed in with tax stuff and work paperwork..Literally drowning in papers here, and Im missing a sheet here and there..uggg

You should bring your own copy of everything you have submitted so far. Just in case the interviewing officer doesn't have it on hand and for your records. When you mail then a package, just make an extra copy and keep everything in the same order. I found it easier to manage this way.

You only need I-134 right now. I-864 will be for AOS.

It lists the documents yes but the person at the window will ask in whatever order they ask. They don't go by a list. Often the person will forget something too.

You don't HAVE to bring extra copies of P3 to the interview- it's just handy to do so in case they lost a form. It's also handy to keep extra copies for yourself because some of the information is repeated when you fill out AOS.

From the appointment checklist from the official Montreal website: http://montreal.usconsulate.gov/visas/visas/immigrant-visas/appointment-checklist.html

"Form DS-230 (175KB PDF), parts I and II, or Confirmation Page of the electronic form DS-260."

If you have the DS-230 you don't need the DS-260.
