Hi everyone! I want to thank everyone on here for their help so far - both in threads that I've posted and in the many that have been and gone before.

I have a few questions about the interview. Cause you know, I'm freaking out about it (ever heard that one before??).

The interview is in six days, and my medical exam is tomorrow.

Financial documents

My main question is in regards to the financial documents necessary for the interview. The Packet 3 instructions were pretty vague when it came to that section. I'm wondering what other people brought with them and whether that was enough or whether it was overkill? Also, we know that we're not going to have an issue in actually surviving financially after we get married - I have a bit in savings and will be working as an Australian subcontractor for my current Canadian employer until my work permit comes (you can do that, right?) - but she (American petitioner) doesn't earn enough on her own to be above what I think they require.

Because of this, I already have a feeling they'll request an I-134. A relative of hers has offered to fill that out on our behalf, and my idea is to bring it with us to the interview with the rest of the paperwork. Is bringing that with us overkill? Is it a good idea or should I wait for them to tell me they need it and then submit it later?

Also, do I need to provide anything as the beneficiary? I couldn't find anything that specifically or definitively said anything about that.

Extra proof of relationship

We submitted a ton of pictures/evidence of our relationship during the beginning of the process. I've read about other people's experiences of taking more of that sort of thing to the interview with them - but it seemed that usually that wasn't really required by the interviewer. Has anyone found this to be necessary, or would the fact she is coming to the interview in Vancouver with me proof enough?

Thanks in advance for your help. I'm excited to be getting to the end of this process! But freaking out all the same.

You need to bring your birth certificate and police record .... Have you tried to read the Guides on the K-1 guide what to bring/send the beneficiary for the interview? You can also ask in the Canadian forum what others have done.

The I134 is required, and it definetively sounds like you will want to bring one from the co-sponsor as well. They need to provide you with tax returns (2015) and proof of employment and salary.

You also will need to bring updated relationship evidence. Only embassy I know of that don't request that, is London.

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.
