Things for packet 3 FROM the petitioner (Montreal)

[Ash.1101 1,756]

Just want to make sure I have everything ready to send to him when the time comes.

I'm the petitioner so I send my fiance the following:

• A certified copy of my divorce decree (there's also one in my K1 Packet but I just want to make sure that he has one if they ask or don't have it)
• A letter stating that I still want to marry him within 90 days of him entering the country (Letter of Intent)
• I-134 from myself with bank statement (Unemployed and no previous tax filings)
• I-134 from my mother who will be co-sponsoring along with bank statement, last years tax refund info, last two pay stubs, letter from employer.
• Bank Statement and Daughters school registration for proof of domicile

Is that all I'll need to send him? I've seen some places that the petitioner and co-sponsors have to send in their birth certificate? Is that consulate specific because I don't see that needed under the rules on the I-134 Instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-134instr.pdf


Does that look all good? Is there anything else? I'd rather be safe than sorry!

PS: I've read the guides 3000 times. From reading the forums though, places seem to differ on whats required or not required. I looked at Packet 3 for Montreal, at the end of the day I was more so curious if I need my mom's birth certificate to send along I-134 as some people have said they needed proof that the co-sponsor was a US Citizen.

I've already seen the packet and had it up while typing the topic.

It's the "Supporting documents" for the I-134 that's throwing me off. I've seen some people here on the forums say that they were asked for proof of citizenship for the co-sponsor for the I-134. While I know the instructions on the I-134 don't say it's needed, I'm just more so curious if anyones needed it. Again, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I would go ahead and include it. especially if it only means you need to ask your co-sponsor for her BC or passport.

We just did this thru the Vancouver consulate. I didn't need a co-sponser, but I also did not submit my birth certificate with the I-134. I submitted the completed I134,a letter from my employer regarding my wages, a letter from my bank regarding balances, and 3 years tax returns. I kind of got the impression at the consulate that the tax returns weren't exactly needed, but they did take them.

If the birth certificate for your cosponsor is easily available, you can take it (and a copy of it) with just in case. We did take a couple pages of continuing proof of relationship as a just in case. They never asked for them, so we just held on to them. So, it seems that doesn't hurt to have a few extra pages if you're not sure.

They should already have your birth certificate from the I129f petition, which they will have at the interview.

Yea they should have mine so I wasn't worried about mine. More so my moms.

And I'm planning like you, the more the better even if they don't look at it. I'll go ahead and ask her for a copy of it when we're gathering the papers together.
