Don't you file those with the affidavit of support?

I can't for the life of me understand why so many people bring them during interview and THEN get denied for enough support... don't they review that ahead of time? :blink:

Not in Montreal. Montreal everything is brought to the interview. From what I've heard, it seems like everything is sent with P3 for Vancouver. But Montreal is different.

Sorry, I should clarify, I'm filing an I-130.

Does this expedite the process along as all?

Considering they aren't reviewing the AoS ahead of time?

No--the cr-1 usually takes longer than the k1, sometimes twice as long. If you click on soem of the recent cr-1'ers that are just getting their interviews in Dec--they started the proces in Jan.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

They both seem to be taking the same amount of time.

And I didn't mean in comparison to a K1, I meant in comparison to other countries who have their stuff sent in ahead of time.

We are getting ready for our interview on the 19th in Montreal...I wanted to make sure that I have all the documents that I need.

This is what I have:

  1. I-134 Filled Out with: This years paystubs. Letter from my employer. My offer letter from employment when I started.
  2. Copy of my fiance's biopage of his passport.
  3. Original and Copy of his AND my birth certificate (just in case they ask for mine)
  4. Appointment letter and loomis confirmation as well as prood of $240 fee payment.
  5. Letter of Intent from Me signed within 30 days of interview
  6. Police Certificates original and copies
  7. 13 pictures of us with location, names and dates on the back.
  8. Copy of our entire Package 3 sent to the embassy.
  9. Copys of receipts/text conversations/other things for proof of relationship.

Anything else you can think of that I need? I just want to make sure I got my ducks in a row.

Thanks to everyone for their help! I am so thankful we are almost done with this K1 part.

All of the information you have here looks good, when we went they didn't even want my tax transcripts ( USC ). They didn't want pictures or other proofs you have listed either. We had them all but they didn't want to see any of it. Our interview was short and sweet.

Good luck
