THank you

I was gonna send her all original documents, my w2, proof of employment, tax records, pay stubs, online chats and pictures, my passport pictures, recipts of our visit together with engagemnet rings..

all original documents and rfe - letters of intent.

shes gonna have it all in the event they ask for it.

your saying she needs none of those ???

Thanks for all ur help

She is not going to need any of that as originals. You sending them to her will cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 to $150. Everything can be scanned and emailed to her. Most of the documents, except for the employment, USEM already has that information from your I-129f submittal.  Everything that will be needed is contained in the Embassy Letter which I'll link below. You only need the items as outlined in this letter. Use it as a guide and a checklist to ensure she is ready. Her interview will last less than 5 minutes tops.

Hi! Medical will be also on September. I have question once you registered online and printed the form. Do I need to call them to tell my preferred date of medical or just go there

You register online and then go to the day you want to complete your medical. Medical is first come first served. No need to call because there isn't anything they will do for an appointment as I said first come first served.

 

You processing will be a whole let better understood if you use Hank's website and follow the steps he has outlined. He has helped 1,000's get their visa and he does it free. Now he has a website as the same questions are asked over and over. So if people follow his steps you'll save yourself a lot of time and possible headaches.

A quick update.. After finding out that NVC had scanned our case over to the embassy on Friday, my F called the embassy this morning...errr tomorrow morning? that doesn't sound right either -they are 10 hours ahead- so, about 3 hours ago he called since he was going to bed when I found out and they do have our case! They told him that they would send him an email today with the instructions on what he needs to do. He just finished the DS160... some of those questions though... boy oh boy, like I had no idea!!!  lol Anyhow, once he gets the email he can pay the fee and then start scheduling everything! So, needless to say, I will be having DHL pick up my stuff tomorrow and it will be to him on Friday. I thought it definitely be best this route even more so since we are approaching Labor Day... did not want any hold ups or anything to get in the way.
Ok, so with that out of the way... I decided to check the ceac tracker because this morning it showed at NVC and now... it shows READY!!! I seriously can't believe how quickly things are happening!!! He could potentially have his interview next week since there is no wait time in Bucharest!

BUUUTTTT... hold up there... this is where things take a turn  lol I know I have told you guys this before... My F is a major procrastinator and still needs to get his police certificate, but I know that will take no time and JUST got the DS160 done (just showing how he procrastinates lol) soooo, he has not begun to take care of his belongings and is now stressing about that stuff and is worried that he needs more time to start taking care of things! lol So, after all this, he may not be coming as soon as he can because he is a procrastinator!!!  lol I mean I get why he did it (the way USCIS was being so slow, he thought he had more time... even though I warned him a long time ago to start preparing cuz you just never know!, but he didn't listen! =/) so, I think right now we are going to be aiming for his POE towards the end of the month like the 25th or 26th which I am ok with because at least we are in the know now and not in the dark anymore and at least have a date out there and it is before Dec and his birthday!

HA I am often a procrastinator myself as is my fiance but for this we have both been pretty much not. Which seems crazy lol but I figured my fiance didn't have the 134 things together and he said last night that he is just waiting for his letter from the bank and he has everything and can send it all to me. He is waiting though until we show ready at the embassy. It is usually only a week to get a snail mail from Colorado Springs to my little village in Manitoba. Last night he said oh gee so you might be here by the end of October and I said with all things going right it is a big possibility. Then he laughed looked towards the dining area and said to me so um we should go on wayfair and look at tables again. A couple months ago he accidentally broke his kitchen table, I still think it was on purpose but it was ugly, and so we need a new one. So we looked through and picked one we liked that had good reviews and he ordered it. Feels so nice to pick out furniture together. Once I get there we are going to go shopping for a new couch as right now he has a futon in the living room and the damn thing tips forward when you try to get out of it. It is awful. I said to him if we are having people over that is not going to work like it did when you were a bachelor. LOL He said I need so much help hun so glad I have you now.  One of his good friends and his wife invited us over for dinner when I was there in June and I got along fabulously with them. It helped that his wife was only 2 years older than I so we had a lot in common.  I am hoping this turns into a great couple friendship. Johnny asked Chris if I liked to play board games and Chris said to him she loves them. So they want to invite us over for game nights. I said well we will have to invite them over as well. Him and I already have a good collection of 2+ player games.

Interview date today... as in now at 9:00AM EST!!! Im nervous as hell and my fiancee is no longer answering, she must be in the embassy already!!! 

[Mattagba 141]

Has anybody who got their NVC case number on 8/24/17 been able to check the status.  Either its too soon to check or the NVC gave me the wrong case number.

Then sorry, I don't know.

Case # is the three letters for your Embassy (LND) plus 10 numbers: 2017 for the year, 736 if the case was created 24th August (735 for the 23rd) and three more numbers for the order in which your case was created among the ones for your same country... (001 if it was the first, 010 if it was the tenth and so on). Maybe that can help you figure out if there's something wrong... But I guess sometimes the website doesn't work that well either... Other people reported problems like that before.

Point of reference for anyone going through the Montreal Consulate.

 

8/16: Interview and Visa Approval

8/25: Notification from embassy that there was a glitch and fiance had to return to Montreal to be re-fingerprintered - no change in CEAC Status

8/26: Notification from Montreal that the glitch was resolved over the weekend. No need to come back in. CEAC Status changed to "Created"

8/26: CEAC Status changed to Administrative Processing

 

It would appear that our case wasn't touched between 8/16 and 8/25, but there were a number of updates on the "Case Last Updated Field" on CEAC between that time period. Hoping they took care of some of the processing during that time period and that the visa gets issued expeditiously. Though, we all know there's nothing expeditious about Montreal...

 

In other news, we got our invites out today and have heard back from a couple of officiants! Inching forward!

 

Also, I hate insomnia.

8/27: CEAC status changed to issued!

 

Montreal was actually quick this time around!

Thanks! Yes i was in Honduras last week, took her to get her medical, filled out the DS-160 for her, and put all the paperwork together. They only had interview dates available for the 28th and 29th and then it wasnt available again until September 25th and 26th so it had to be now. I wish i couldve gone to the embassy with her but I had to return yesterday  

 

Looking at past reviews of the consulate it looks like this whole affair will take 2-3 hours  but i will post as soon as I get the news.

Hi! I just read this.   yoi can just scan it to her, then she can print it. My fiancé was going to send his docs to me by courier but I told him to just scan or send the files to me. But during my interview, the consul didn't even asked for any of his documents! Even the form i-134. Just the official documents: NBI, cenomar, birth certificate and medical certificate and the MRv Slip..  they didn't even take a look at our photos 😭
