Okay I have been following this guide (http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide) and think we are about ready to send everything off. I'd appreciate it if you guys could look over it and let us know if you think we need further info or if we're looking good:

  1. G-1145
  2. Payment check
  3. Cover Letter
  4. I-129F (signed and dated)
    1. This has a section to explain how you got together and have met in person, with extra room at the end, so we used all of that. We've met 7 times in person.
  5. Two seperate original statements, his and mine (signed and dated), saying we intend to marry within 90 days of him getting here.
  6. His G-325A (signed and dated) with passport photo
  7. My G-325A (signed and dated) with passport photo
  8. Copy of my birth certificate

 

For proof of relationship & seeing each other we intend to send:

  1. Flight/bus/hotel receipts from each of our trips
    1. Including tickets/badge for a convention we went to on one trip, ticket for the Royal Ontario Museum which we went to on another trip, movie tickets, and as many boarding passes/ect as we could locate
    2. Scanned our passport stamp pages, his and mine. Unfortunately, border patrol didn't stamp his or my passport every time, just like half the time. 
  2. Five pictures of us together (should we send more?)
  3. Engagement ring receipts (could include pics of us wearing our rings)
  4. Written version of what he said when he proposed (in his handwriting)
  5. Phone bill showing how many texts we sent back and forth last month and also June/July last year (to prove our contact is fairly consistent)
  6. Skype logs (of call start/stop times) for the last month or two, showing we talk all the time

 

Things we could also include:

  1. Shipping label for him sending me a laptop as a present last year.
  2. Shipping label for him sending me his half of the documentation for this packet.

 

I dunno if this is overkill or not enough or not the right stuff, opinions are very welcome. We're very excited/nervous and we've looked at it so much by now I'm pretty sure I couldn't possibly see what was missing if anything was.

Looks like you have a lot of what me and my fiance put in ours. :) Good luck to you. Its a stressful process but here at VJ it makes it so much better. :) Thats the problem with crossing the border as the majority of the time they don't bother stamping passports. My fiance was disappointed that they did not when he came into Canada a couple months ago. lol

Your petition and supporting documents look great!  Just make sure everything is signed, dated, and you wrote down the proper petition fee!

If you have any questions on the Canadian immigration process, feel free to message.  My fiance had her interview in Montreal last week, and I attended.  We were happily approved and the total process took about 5 months.  

Good luck on your visa journey!
