Ok folks - I am sure this has been answered elsewhere but I began wondering....

Besides the interview letter and instructions for the medical... what else comes with "packet 4"? Is it the same for K visas than for CR1-IR1 and DCF?

Foolish question, but better ask than reman :blink: oblivious and be surprised (and not in a good way). Your answers will help us all !!!!

Peace, L.

My packet 4 info (2004 mind u)

Interview date and time

reminder to bring two photographs and what size they had to be

Reminder to bring ALL original documents if u didnt send in the originals (which I did) But I was crazy and paid for duplicates, so brought those as well!!

medical exam info (shots required, approverd Dr's)

Reminder to bring the most up to date W2's

if one is using an affidavit of support must be not older than 1 yr old!! if so a new one is required

Reminder of NO electronics!!

Required documents (originals if not already submitted to NVC)

Valid passport

adoption decrees if applicable

marriage cert if applicable

death cert if applicable

divorce cert if applicable

police cert

court records if applicable

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

I hope it's still allowed to have an affidavit of support under a year old. Mine is from December.

If I remember correctly ours was several months old...didn't seem to be a problem. My husband (then fiancé) was approved. His interview lasted FIVE minutes...two questions...

You ARE going to be ok Joe...I do understand the stress, my husband felt it too, but once it was over he couldn't believe he was so stressed about it.

tinker - I am pretty sure you need the IRS transcripts of your SO's tax returns to attach to the Affidavit of Support (I-864) - at least for the last year and optional three previous years - but they do need to be included.

L.

You have to see what process she is going through before posting. She is a K1 applicant and she will need an I-134 and not the I-864 for her interview in Montreal. See instructions on supporting documents.

:lol: Thanks! Glad I didn't spaz over the I-184, didn't even notice that part.

It's all good, he said he'd grab 2006's anyway for me. :)

I asked because it did say I only needed it if self employed, but everyone seems to have them.
