Yes, we didn’t have to send anything ahead of the interview. We will bring the medical results and police certificates on the day of the interview.

 

Also, check out the embassy website. It has a list of other things (birth certificate, Letter if intent to marry, etc.) they’ll need that weren’t listed on our email from the embassy. 

Please prepare the following documents for each person applying for a visa and send them to our office via Aramex courier service:

 

1.        Photocopy of passport (the original to be submitted on the appointment date)

2.        Photocopy of birth certificate

3.        A copy of your divorce certificate (If previously married and divorced)

4.        Police certificate from your country of nationality if you are 16 years old or older

5.        Police certificate if you lived in a different country for more than 12 months and you were 16 years or older at that time.

6.        An Affidavit of Support (Form I-134) signed by the Petitioner.

7.        Petitioner’s most recent year of federal income taxes (form 1040 only).  Please also bring the most recent W2 form and a job letter indicating current salary and length of employment

8.        Medical exam for applicant as attached, medical examination report should be submitted on the day of the visa interview. Applicants are advised to schedule their medical examination 3weeks prior to the date of their visa interview.

9.        Applications: DS-160 application online application form: https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/, please print the confirmation page and send it along with the documents.

10-   Photograph:

 

Above is the first correspondence from the embassy. It doesn't list any evidence of relationship? Do we still submit it? And what are some examples of evidence that people are using to prove ongoing relationship?

 

Thank you for your help!

Yep, just did this yesterday. Let them know it's for a visa application - they'll know what you need and there will likely be a fee.

So what my finace did was go to the commissionaires office and scheduled a appointment to get the fingerprint one done. It took a week for the certificate to be mailed back. The fingerprints go to RCMP and they process it and mail a document saying the fingerprints were scanned and no criminal record exists
