It's that time again! Check my interview documents for me?

[bebop + rocksteady 0]

Alright, our interview is January 25th in Vancouver, SO close. So, I'd like to get some eyes other than mine and my future husband's to check over and make sure we've got everything. I know some of this will be Canada/Vancouver specific, but I figured I'd post it in here to get a higher percentage of eyes.

And away we go....

Note: We have at least three copies of all of these, except where otherwise noted.

DS-230 (Copy of Part I which was faxed in, as well as Part II, even though it hasn't been asked for in a while)

DS-156 (Completed online with barcode)

DS-156K

Attachments explaining trips to U.S. are too numerous to remember due to proximity to the U.S. border.

OF-167

I-134 (All copies notarized)

Evidence to accompany I-134

- Past two months worth of bank statements

- Past two months worth of pay stubs

- Letter from bank about deposits and balance over past year

- Letter from employer

- Letter from previous employer (will only present if the length of my current employment, 2 months, is brought into question—used to show continuous income)

- Last three pay stubs from previous employer (same as above)

Craig's passport (and mine, because why not?)

Passport photos (5, signed on back by Craig)

Long-form birth certificate — Craig

Long-form birth certificate — Me

Police Certificate

All originals from I-129f submission

NVC Letter

Letter explaining we never received our NOA2

Interview Appointment Letter

Original Checklist faxed back

New Letters of Intent from both of us

Medical Exam Results (the exam is scheduled for the day before the interview, results are available same day)

$100 USD, cash

Evidence of Relationship

- New boarding passes and passport stamps from after I-129f submission

- Both of our boarding passes for our trip to Vancouver, and our hotel registration together.

- Selection of card, letters, and invitations between the two of us, addressed to the two of us (congratulations cards on the engagement), from his family to me, from my family to him, between our two families, etc.

- Selection of phone bills, from both sides, over our entire relationship with phone calls to/from each other highlighted.

- Selection of emails and IM conversations

- Wedding planning book (I have a binder that has all of our wedding planning ideas in it)

- Photo album with 15-20 photos of us together and with friends and family.

- My engagement ring (it'd be there anyways )

- Receipts and photos of/from my wedding dress

- Receipts from Western Union and PayPal money transfers between us

- Our smiling faces together at the interview.

For the first time in this whole process, I'm starting to feel confident. Still weary of getting TOO excited, but definitely confident. Just as long as the snow clears out and doesn't cause a travel nightmare, we might just make it through this thing alright. *knocks on wood* I see a light!

Thanks kids!
