My husbands interview was scheduled for May 7th! It is coming up so quickly and now I am getting really nervous about having all the documents in order and mailed to him before the interview date.

In regards to the affidavit of support, do I need to complete a new one since I completed my 2014 taxes after sending in the original I-864? Does my co-sponsor need to do the same? Or.....can I just send the 2014 tax transcript for 2014 for my husband to take?

Any advice anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. I feel like my mind is running and I am bound to forget something.

Thanks!

I would be interested to know this too! I would definbitely bring your new tax transcripts for 2014, but do we all need to fill out a new I-864? that would be a pain for people using joint sponsors! :/

Lots of great info here. Thanks for compiling it in one place! Will definitely be pouring through these pages.

Hey I think you are looking for the Montreal specific wiki. There are a few different good ones (that you can get to from the link below):

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_for_Montreal_Beneficiaries_%E2%80%93_Electronic_Processing_and_New_Online_Forms#Useful_Links

I know that this wiki is just about the NVC process and EP which is redundant now as you've already sent in your stuff but at the bottom under useful links there is a bunch of good information here (which is why I just keep this one as a favourite). Look at the "Canada Wiki" page for Montreal Consulate instructions (just be careful because it also goes through Vancouver for K1 visas) http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Canada. The "Links with Canadian Topics" takes you to a thread where people have discussed a whole bunch of important things (like taxes and shipping our belongings) and some less important, but interesting things (like what foods you can't get in the US that we have here haha) http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/347629-moving-to-the-us-summary-list-canadian-immigration-guide/#entry3008895. There are also links to the Montreal Consulate and DHL and spreadsheets and more. Like I said all of these links are under the heading "Useful Links" on the first link I posted above.

I'm not sure if you've found this thread yet: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/499883-nvc-thread-for-canadians/page-52

It's a bunch of Canucks sharing their experiences. People post reviews of the their medicals and interviews. It's great to stay on top of too!

Hope that helps!

What wonderful news to read. Congratulations to all who received an interview date! Curious if anyone thought that contacting congresspeople last week helped move things along for them?

Seems that Montreal's May dates are booked... or that they are saving sending out our P4 letters for Monday??!?!

(I know, I know, I shouldn't hold my breath on that hope!)

love, just love your optimism!!!

Seems the UK and Canada are like the last to ever announce dates. So hang on maybe they still are working on May.

i'm hoping your right.....looks like not many were scheduled for may.

I am not sure if anyone else has experienced this, by my N/A under the Affidavit has changed back to PAID. I confirmed with NVC that I got a CC and I have an interview date and it also changed from "At NVC" to "In Transit." So strange!

Yes, we have exactly the same update. Our interiew is May7th, too.

Hi all,

I got my CC on 10 APR 2015 and interview is scheduled in 25 May 2015 :) .

I have question !! My wife is the petitioner and we used co-sponsor, In the interview letter on the financial evidence ( Document Status is Y ). and Y means The NVC sent this form or document to the U.S. Embassy.

Do i have to ask the co-sponsor to sent me his 2014 tax transcript ? Our scan date was 6 MAR 2015

Please help me I want to be prepared before the interview.

I would definitely bring it just in case they ask for it. Better to have it and 2014 taxes are due now.

Wow I'm surprised they scheduled an interview on Memorial Day, a national Holiday. I didn't think they worked at any of the Embassies or Consulates on those days. ?

Yah I'll bring it, but to be clear I don't need to bring update I-864 ?

Thank you :)

I would. But why not email your consulate and ask them just to be sure.

I tried emailing the Sydney consulate and it got rejected: "Your message can't be delivered because delivery to this address is restricted." So I've emailed two other related addresses I've found.
