US petitioner does not need a birth certificate for the interview.  Only the beneficiary is required to have a birth certificate.

 

The only documentation from the US petitioner at the K1 interview stage is the letter of intent dated within 30 days of interview and the supporting documents for the I-134.  

Thanks very much. I am confused about the affidavit. I am reviewing my Packet 4 for Montreal and it states that an I-864 affidavit is required but in another letter the embassy sent me it states I need the I-134. This is quite confusing bc these are two different forms and I’m not sure which one we need to bring. Any thoughts ?

You need the I-134 for the K1.  I agree, it's totally unclear on both P3 checklist and P4.

Canada Post literally just called me. Apparently they're requesting the local office do a manual check in case something happened to the barcode on the package and that's why it hasn't scanned since the 20th. "It's highly unusual that you haven't received it yet." Ummm obviously! That package is also an identity thief's dream come true.
I have also sent emails to the consulate asking them to investigate because any investigations on lost mail needs to be from the sender. 
What a ******** nightmare. 

Aww!  I hope you get it soon. This is such a long process, and the last thing you need is a problem with Canada Post. You’re so close!! Fingers crossed everything gets sorted and you get your visa soon!!!

Here's an update on my situation. 
 

Package shipped on March 18th. 
Guaranteed delivery date: March 21st
Last scan on package: March 20th. (Richmond BC)

3 phone calls to Canada Post. 
1 call back from Canada Post Case Manager. (March 26th)
4 emails to various US Consulate and Department of State departments. (who are now investigating)
1 phone call to Canada Post facility in Richmond (wrong place, but the guy said he would call over to the right one. Said maybe the package fell off the belt)

I have written the following letter and forwarded it to the local MLA, the premier of BC (even though Canada Post is federal and not provincial), the Prime Minister, and 4 news stations (I am not playing around, this is mine and my kid's life and identity):

To Whom it May Concern, 

Re: Canada Post
    Ticket Number: xxxxxxxxx
     Tracking Number: xxxxxxxxxxxx

I have a package I am to receive that was put in the mail via Xpress Post by the US Consulate General in Montreal, QC on March 18, 2019 (Langley, BC is the final destination), with a delivery standard date of March 21, 2019. 
 

It is now March 27, 2019 my package is still “in transit” with no location, and the last update was March 20, 2019 saying it had been processed in Richmond, BC.
 

On March 25th, I called Canada Post and spoke to a representative who agreed it was "unusual we have not seen an update since then". They opened a service ticket for me,  even though I am the receiver and not the sender. 
On the morning of March 26th, I received a phone call from a Canada Post Case Agent, stating that they're requesting the local office do a manual check in case something happened to the barcode on the package and that's why it hasn't scanned since the 20th, and I am going to have to get the sender to submit another service ticket. 
On March 27th, I personally showed up to the package's final destination and spoke to them. They told me that there was no way it had left the Richmond, BC facility. It would have been scanned two more times before it arrived in Langley, BC. 
I had mentioned the barcode issue and he stated that that is an impossible excuse. If something had happened to the barcode, a new one would have been printed immediately.

I cannot contact the ombudsman, or do anything, in regards to my package because I am not the sender. I find that unfair. 

This is not just an online purchase that I am waiting to receive. This is literally my life and the life of my children, not to mention a potential significant security issue. 

In this package, are 4 Canadian passports, complete with US immigration visas, along with original documents regarding my immigration case. 
This package is an identity thief's dream come true. 

Canada Post's inability to properly service Canadians is the reason it is a failing system that does not have the support of the mailing public. 

One can not trust Canada Post to get a direly important package from point “A” to point “B” in the timely and open manner advertised by their website and customer service representatives.
Why offer a “delivery standard date” if it is not going to be honored?
Why offer to track the package when the tracker never gets updated?
Canada Post claims that Xpress Post is a signature required, secure and efficient shipping service with an on-time delivery guarantee.

There needs to be a thorough investigation done in regards to Canada Post's disgraceful performance, and options for the package recipients to file formal complaints. 

Canada Post needs to be held accountable for this morally repugnant lack of security with extremely sensitive documents! 

Sincerely, 
A. E.

I am hoping for a quick resolution to your issue.  What a nightmare indeed.  Hopefully you are proceeding on with  whatever you need to do in order to cross into the US for your wedding and new life.

No, still nothing. 😭

 

The Consulate sent me a message saying they're working with Canada Post on locating my package and to wait for further instructions. 

I have contacted my local MP and also the Prime Minister's office and have signed consent forms for them to see what they can do also. 

This really sucks. I checked my passport number on the border crossings (i94) and at least " I " haven't crossed the border yet. 

Smh.
