The only thing left is my medical on December 7th in Montreal!! just wondering if I should bring more photos (I have wedding day pics, Pics of us with my family members, vacation pics ect)also have some itinerary's from my husband travelling to visit.... I don't want to bring TOO MUCH & don't want to bring too little lol

Oh your interview is on the same day of mine. Me too it stays the medical examination to be done. Concerning the pics I've already submitted them along with the petetion I-130. What about you? Have you submitted them with the petetion or not? I think they will return everything we submitted to them and so the pics. In this case we are not supposed to take other pics with us. Right?

we haven't submitted pictures, we are doing that at the interview... Every consulate is different too

If you're going to the Vancouver consulate, they may not even request to see any additional evidence if you had enough with the I-129F.. They didn't for me despite bringing a stack of stuff (or maybe because of that? ) When they were looking at our initial evidence they seemed most interested in the photos and plane tickets.

Edit: nevermind, saw your location and didn't read your post thoroughly enough.. Still, I'm sure tickets and photos would be satisfactory.

Montreal for most marriage couples rarely asks for evidence--but one should always bring some----quality over quantity! Some pics, flight init....anything that is solid proof--just dont bring piles of it. I had a nice plastic accordion 13 slot binder and had stuff organized. Comes in handy for ur next steps after as well---as you can keep things organized.

Evidence of a relationship is rarely asked for but it's always good to bring! If you already have extra evidence handy it doesn't hurt to bring it along, all you lose is some space in the folder/bag you're carrying it in. What I did was put my strongest evidence in one slot of an accordion folder and the rest of the evidence in another slot, so if they requested to see it I could produce it easily, and if they still weren't satisfied I had back up. Then I put the mandatory documents (birth cert, police cert, etc.) in another slot. They didn't ask for it though.

Thanks for the tip! We were planning on getting a folder of some kind but wasn't sure if it was ok because of size.

I printed some of my pictures online in full color, don't have Official photo paper but they turned out well on paper... Do you think those will be accepted or no? (we have a few other real pictures too, was just wondering) We've been married 3 years now though so I guess it's not to worry about.

I nor anyone else can tell you not to worry--it is only natural in this case. 99.9% of the time for a married based visa in Mtl they do not even ask for any evidence at the interview. If they do--ur pics should be fine. As well bring a bit other evidence as well. Quality over quantity. Some travel receipts,pics, ur good to go!! I had a short little letter from my mother n law!! Canada is NOT a high marriage fraud country, but of course one wants to be prepared. Of course we don't know everything about you---maybe ur from a country that does not get along with the USA---if thats the case--one would want to bring a lot more evidence. Best of luck

OK that's great! Thanks! I'm full blooded Canadian Born & raised here in BC so I guess I have nothing to worry about, but still a very nerve wracking thing since everything is out of our hands at the end of it lol
