I guess I'm in it again. I had to get divorce papers redone. They don't like copies.

You already interviewed in October? They requested originals or certified copies? Submit them and you are ok? Another interview? LoL @ me and my questions....nosey aren't I?

I'm in. Hopefully out in 2 weeks, but I am starting to worry about what the package of documents snugglebunny is sending me will look like. I keep stressing to him he needs to send me the original certified copies of the divorce papers, but he keeps saying things to me that make me think he doesn't quite get it. And the affidavit and supporting docs will be interesting too. I don't think his company has understood exactly what should be on the letter... Let's say, part of me is worried.

So yeah, I will be interested to know what exactly happened at your interview, Texanadian!

Not that I'm advocating this, but I didn't take a certified copy of my husband's divorce (no raised seal) to my K3 interview (though I brought a photocopy) and I didn't read the checklist carefully and didn't take a copy of his previous marriage certificate. I was pretty sure they wouldn't issue my visa because of it, but the nice lady at the counter who reviews the documents said it wasn't a big deal.

caladan

they said our case got sent from NVC on the 23rd of October. the date on my paperwork from the embassy says Oct.31. oh and in case anyone runs into this, i guess Van needs a signed copy of the OF-167 Attachment, they send it with your paperwork and i haven't been able to find it online (if anyone knows where i could find it that would be great) . needs to be signed by the sponser and attached to the I34.

Me too! Me too! Me too! hehe

OF 167 was in my package I received from Vancouver. Sent it to my fiance, who signed it, and sent it back to me!

If you were missing it in your package, email them and have them resend it.

Count me in too! Just getting ready to send back package 3. To anyone who's just recently gotten package 4, what's the waiting time for an interview? I really need to get mine before the end of the year!!! Also, anyone who got their police certificate in Vancouver, can they get it to you same day?? Is there an extra cost for getting same-day results for the medical at Dr. Morgan's in Vancouver?? So many questions, thanks for starting the Vancouver thread. I was starting to feel lonely!

It was 5 weeks between the day I faxed back my checklist, to the date I was given for my interview. However, i had asked for a late November date. They actually gave me on ethat was a week earlier than my original request.

As for the RCMP certificate, I went to the office on Heather in Vancouver, and it took 20 minutes. I also got the medical results the same day - you are asked to return at 2:00 PM for them.

Not that I'm advocating this, but I didn't take a certified copy of my husband's divorce (no raised seal) to my K3 interview (though I brought a photocopy) and I didn't read the checklist carefully and didn't take a copy of his previous marriage certificate. I was pretty sure they wouldn't issue my visa because of it, but the nice lady at the counter who reviews the documents said it wasn't a big deal.

That makes me feel better!
