NVC/Consulate Questions - Canada [split topic]

[markgina 2]

Hey everyone,

I called the NVC today and they had our LND case number (yayyyyyy!!!!!!!) I was just really looking for some direction in how we should start preparing from here.

1) Our case hasn't made it to the embassy yet, can we start filing any out or working on anything? Scheduling the medical appointment?

2) What documents should my fiancé be gathering to get ready for his interviews?

3) How much proof should I send my fiancé to support the affidavit of support?

4) Any tips on preparing for the interview and moving things along would be greatly appreciated.

MANY THANKS!!!! <3

My husband and I have been married for over two years. I just had my interview a few weeks ago. Here are some details that I can share about my case:

1) Our case hasn't made it to the embassy yet, can we start filing any out or working on anything? Scheduling the medical appointment?

I live in Toronto and made the appointment in Toronto. There are many reviews on this forum about Ontario doctors.

- The cost was $300 plus $50 to have the medical delivered to me (optional)

- Needed my vaccination records from the doctor, mine are up to date

- They take one vile of blood and one x-ray included in prices

- The doctor required only one passport photo for my medical

- Got the results delivered in 4 business days to my house

2) What documents should my fiancé be gathering to get ready for his interviews?

I made a binder but since I filed everything electronically they only asked for the following:

1) All Finance records from the US

- I-184ez only had copy they wanted the original signature but they accept the copy just fine

- Original W2

- Original 1040

All of these items were returned to me

2) My Canadian Police check and Fingerprints

- don't thing fingerprints were required but to $70 I just did them as a precaution

All of these documents were kept on the US Embassy

3) Passport photos of my the Beneficiary (x2 copies)

there is machine in the waiting room that you can print photos.

The cost is either 2x$5 bills or 1x $10 bill; must have exact change

4) Canadian Birth certificate

Needed my original copy (it was returned to me)

5) Marriage Certificate

Needed my original copy (it was returned to me)

6) Medical envelope was required

Gave me back a copy of the x-ray and form

8) MUST have copy of your interview appointment

I have everything ready to show them:

- copy of flights

- phone bill

- photos

- I-130

- DS260

- Husband passport page and photo

- etc

They needed nothing else although I had all documents handy. They only asked a few questions:

- How we met

- How long we dated before getting married

- What I did for a living

- Where my husband lives not in the US

That was it! Super easy.

Good luck!!!
