I'm planning on sending this in at the end of the week, mostly because if I wait any longer, the monster will grow even bigger. (I deal best with stress by keeping busy, if you can't tell.)

Contents:

1) a copy of the original I-129, as advised

2) an updated letter of intent to marry, as advised

3) another copy of the "how we met" statement so that we can get our dates straight and what he says in the interview corresponds to what I wrote down (I am really bad with remembering things in the context of month/year it happened)

4) original proof of having met in the last two years - pictures from our cruise, inventory of the cruise, engagement ring receipt, phone bill

5) copies of the NOA1 and NOA2, as advised

1) I-134, sponsor (notarized) -- need to attach the OF-167

Evidence: two recent paystubs, letter of employment, list of paystubs going back to when I was hired, list of banking transactions starting from when I opened my account in May of last year

2) I-134; co-sponsor (notarized) -- need to attach the OF-167

Evidence: letter of employment (they marked him as "part-time" because he only works thirty hours a week but his yearly salary is quite a bit of money so I don't think this will be an issue?), list of paystubs going back a year, list of banking transactions going back a year

Evidence of an on-going relationship:

1) Album of pictures. Marked with time and place. These span from '01 when we met at camp (group pics) to '04, with several from each year. Also threw in a few more from our trip last summer. A dozen altogether.

2) Phone bills from two different months.

3) Plane ticket stubs from when I went to see him in March.

4) High-lighted the gas and food on my banking transaction list that were spent during my numerous visits to him when he was still living in ND. (August-December of '06.)

5) Print-out of our wall-to-wall messages on Facebook.

There are lots of little post-its with instructions/notes/reminders for the boy, including a reminder to take all the post-its off the paperwork before he goes for the interview. ;)

---

Excessive worrying on my part --

I have *no* evidence that we lived together from '04 to '06. Not even pictures of us together. The lease and bills were in his name only. I thought about trying to go through the university or the bank we used and seeing if there was some official document with an address that I could request for both of us...but I'm not totally sure if it's necessary now?

He tends to get nervous when talking to new people and when he gets nervous, he can mumble so badly that you really can't tell what he's saying. (I'm usually there to translate.) It's gotten better over the years, but I hope that the interviewer doesn't take it the wrong way!

Anything that I'm missing? Anything more that I should add to my constant worrying? *cry*

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

Yes, we cdn men are in very high demand. It is not uncommon for a Cdn man to be taken by age of 5 for marriage in the future!! Its one of Canad'as biggest exports!!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

You have more than enough evidence, Hannah. Don't worry so much. It's not that bad. As long as you have all items requested on the checklist, you're good to go. And it doesn't hurt to bring along the items you've listed, so don't worry about adding more evidence. I'm with you. Mail that package off now. :lol:

Ah, I see. Thanks for that clarification!! :thumbs::lol:

I had a 'boy' once. I divorced him because that's how he acted. I needed a man, not another child in my house.

Had to go to Germany to find one (well, he found me)... Canada would have been closer!!

I think it's kind of sweet actually HannaP... I refer to Bren in so many ways people must think I am a polygamist b!tch. Could be "the hot stuff", "the fiancee", "this guy I 'm sleeping with". "the boyfriend", "my partner in crime".... in rare ocassions I say "my legal husband according to the laws of the province of Alberta". He does the same.- I guess each couple find their own entre-nous language, which is quite unique.

So say hi to "the boy" from me, okies?? :thumbs:

Len.
