i realize u have photocopies of everything, did your package ask you for that? mine didnt. 

I'm not sure if the photocopy is really necessary, I was just going by what is listed on the London's embassy website here:

 

https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/required-documents/

 

"You are required to obtain the original documents or certified copies, and one photocopy (with the exception of your passport and photographs) of the following documents for yourself and each family member applying for a visa. All documents are required even if they were previously submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services with your petition.  Please do not submit any documents to the NVC"

Today was root canal day for me. I had a run in with a crappy dentist three weeks ago, who sent me to the ER after drilling into my sinus and pouring bleach into it. Today I had a specialist go in and

Don't you need a letter from your bank as well? With your current balance and total deposits from the last year.

From what I've read of the London reviews, we don't need this.  As long as I have a letter from my employer and 2 pay stubs, that's sufficient for them for the interview for London.  All the reviews for London make it sound like it's really just a final check and collection of a bit more paperwork, and they really just want to receive the minimal amount of paperwork when you get to the interview.  I know it's different for others but this is what I've been able to gather.

Ok :) I believe we do need it in Canada... my sister did this same process 2 year years ago and had to have it. They actually asked for even more financial information at the interview and thankfully she had further supporting documents. So I do want to have it in case it's needed.

I am going through Canda as well.... All the recent reviews for the consulate seem to indicate that they have only wanted the last year's tax info.... But it definitely wouldn't hurt to be over prepared.

@TriloByte just curious, i know yours is ready now. Have you booked your interview / medical, if so was there a lot of available dates for London or is there quite a wait? Such as waiting till August? 

I booked mine in London for the 21st. When I booked the only dates that were available to choose were 20,21,25th of July. All three times of the day were available on those dates when I booked on Friday (7th of July). Everything else was greyed out I think. Though honestly I just jumped on the soonest date ASAP! Haha

 

Amazed i I got an interview date so close :-) got my medical at Knightsbridge on Friday (14th july) too! :)

That's brilliant, I thought you'd have to wait longer than that, a 3 week turnaround from it going ready is really good!
