Kay, so I have my Packet 3, and I just wanted to post to see if I'm missing anything, or if anything slipped my mind, or whatever.

In terms of my Packet 3 Checklist and official documents, I have -

- A copy of my NOA2

- A Letter from my Fiance, signed and Dated, stating her intent to marry and legal ability to do so

- Two Affadavits of Support, one from my Fiance and one from her Mother, both of which have ample supporting evidence

- A Long-Form Birth Certificate

- My Passport, still valid for a few years

- My Police Certificate

- My Passport Photographs

- My DS 156 and DS 156K immigration forms

In terms of Evidence of our continuing relationship, I have

- Dated Photos, depicting the two of us together, both in my hometown and her hometown, the most recent of which show us hanging out in a bar with her hometown friends

- Passport Stamps showing her arrival into Canada since the I-129 F petition

- Credit Card Statements Showing transactions in her hometown

- Hotel Bills on the way to her hometown

- Phone Bills outlining the both of us calling one-another

- A receipt for her engagement ring

- If need be, I can also produce sweet things she's made for me. Valentines and a congratulations card for my university graduation, and stuff like that.

Is there anything else I should get or procure? What else do I need? We really have little to no skype / facebook chats, because we always talk on video, and up until a couple of weeks ago, we were together, in each other's physical company, for a year and a half.

You need to provide a letter of intent as well. See: http://www.visajourney.com/content/examples K1 Related Forms -> Fiance(e) Letter of Intent

Sounds like you have all of your bases covered. Receipts are more important as they are considered primary evidence. Sounds like you have a lot of that.

One question: Were you together in the US for a year and a half or were you visiting back and forth? I only ask because I'm worried you've overstayed if you were in the US for that entire time. If not then ignore my question :)

Best of luck!

No no no, we did evrything completely legitimate. We were back and forth the whole time, 4 months being as long as any visit lasted, and on a student visa at that. We were back and forth a lot, and she was in canada a lot too.

Ah great! Sounds like you are ready then! I would quickly throw together your own letter of intent though. Good luck!
