hey everyone................this k1 process is sooooo stressful. i am from newfoundland, canada. My fiance is from mississippi. we received our receipt date on jan 23 and everything has been approved to date. all we are waiting on now is the last form to be sent back to immigration in montreal. My question is on form ds156, i will be getting new passport this week so do i resend form 156 to montreal with new passport number?

Another ????????/ i had was when montreal receives the form 156, 230 part 1 and checklist, how long will i recieve notice of interview?

as well as form 230...........when does immigration want part 2 of this form? hopefully someone can answer these questions

thanks.

I You could send them a new DS-156 with new passport number, with a note to this effect, as well as noting NVC cas number on it.

I would also bring a copy of that DS-156 to the visa interview also.

Most consulates do not use DS-230 part 2 for K-visas, part 2 is more for an immigrant visa like CR-1 and IR-1. I would have it prepared and just bring it to the interview, so that if they want it you will have it.

thanks for your quick reply. how long does it usually take to get interview once all forms are in. 1 concern of mine is at 1 point before i met my fiance i was working in U.S on a TN visa. I changed companies and appaerntly i was not allowed to do this. I was home on vacation and returned to U.S in Nov. while going through customs in toronto the officer asked me was i still working with same company and i told him NO. he informed me i was not allowed to work for another comapny in U.S and therefore i would have to go back to Canada.

on all of our k1 fiance process we have documented this and havent had a problem through california, NVC. I am just a little worried that during the interview it may come up, do anyone know if this will cause a problem?

i am sooo stressed out maybe I am worrying too much!!!! lol.........thanks

They should not deny a visa for being turned back at the border for that reason.

It is not a reason for denial, but may prompt some additional questions about the bona fides of your relationship. You should be able to demonstrate you are applying for a visa in order to enter into a bonafide marriage instead of to re-enter the US fraudulently. It should be pretty easy to do but be prepared, even though it may not even come up.

You should know that interviews at the Montreal Consulate are extremely backed up and you're looking at least a 5 to 7 month wait now for an interview AFTER you return Package 3. Good luck!
