Please help with appointment checklist (K1/Montreal)

[Mag&Chef 17]

I'm preparing all the documents needed for the interview, so I found on Montreal us consulate website they ask for I-864, is that mandatory in my case?

NB: I don't have kids or anybody to be sponsored with me.

Appointment Checklist - Fiancé Visas

• Evidence of Support (I-864, I-864A, I-864EZ, I-864W) and photocopy of IRS transcript or photocopy of the most recent Federal income tax return.

Thanks for your help VJ members!!!!

K1 only need I-134. When you AOS however, the I-864 will be needed.

Packet4 for Montreal has two pages, one for spousal visa (they term as immigration) and one for K1 visa. You'll want to look at the K1 Visa checklist.

n. Proof of Financial Support (Form I-134) and photocopy of supporting documents (IRS transcript or photocopy of the most recent Federal income tax return, bank statements, employment pay slips, etc.)

It's page 7. K1 Visa asks for I-134 Financial forms. You won't have to do I-864 until you go to AOS.

They do still require you to have a sponsor though, the forms just differ.


If you haven't already recieved packet 3 this is what it looks like.

IT IS WORTH NOTING: EVERYTHING THEY ASK OF YOU ON THE K1 VISA CHECK LIST IS REQUIRED. Don't assume anything doesn't apply to you, plenty of people have done that and ended up getting kicked back for not having a paper they thought didn't apply to them.

Can you give an example of what you mean by this? I put N/A for things such as court orders, military records, divorce decrees etc. because I don't have these (or thought I didn't). Is there an item on this checklist that is commonly mistaken as inapplicable to most people, when it is in fact applicable? I just want to make sure I haven't missed anything. Thanks!

evidence of petitioner domicile and original petitioner divorce decrees (and birth certificate). Many people don't bring the latter two.

If you know you've never had the thing or are fairly confident, then you don't need those. So never been to court or had a court order something against you then no orders, never been in military, no records, and so on.

Things like Department of Defense forms or government forms, like the I-134, are def for sure though.

Awesome! Thanks so much for clarifying.
