Hi everybody,

 

Hoping that somebody can answer to my confusion. I have an interview coming up in Montreal next month.

In the checklist of what to bring to my immigrant visa interview, the original or certified copies of birth certificates for each child of the principal applicant (even if he or she is not accompanying) is required.

 

My husband who is a petitioner for my case has a son. His son is my step-son. Do I need to bring his birth certificate to the interview?

You are the principal applicant.

Hi CL1985. 

Here is my timeline;

 

May 31 - Submitted all of my documents to NVC

July 21 - Received RFE for my Canadian PR Card

Aug 8 - NVC received the copy of my Canadian PR Card

Sep 22 - NVC Completed my case

Oct 19 - My interview date was assigned for Nov 28

 

NVC says it takes about 2 months to process all documents, but it really has been about 6 weeks. Hope all goes well with your process!!
