preparing documents for montreal interview ahead of time

[h_bomb 0]

hi friends!

due to the huge backlog at the consulate in montreal, me and my boyfriend want to get some of the requirements done before the consulate contacts us. that way, we can send the packet out as soon as we get it, and avoid further delays. i took a look at the contents of packet 3, but i don't know what any of the form numbers mean except for ds-56 (or whatever the visa application is). could anybody tell me what the other forms are and what the other requirements are? all i know is he needs a medical, a police record, and i-134 (affadavit of support). does anyone know what the specifications are for the police record? is it just one from the rcmp, or one from each town he's lived in? for the medicals--is the list of doctors on the embassy page complete? i'm just trying to figure out if there's a doctor closer than toronto (i don't like driving there i had a panic attack last time ) also, one last question. i am a permanent resident in canada. i have been living here for 4 1/2 years and i am working here. all of my sources of income, bank accounts, etc. are here---none in the u.s. anymore. my mom is willing to co-sponsor for us, and i would like to send the correct forms down to her to fill out right away, so that they are here and waiting once we receive packet 3. i-134 doesn't appear to be for a co-sponsor to fill out, though. is there a different form i need to include?

i appreciate your help!

i have gotten some information about the sponsorship part through some new posts that have been put up. one says that i have to fill out an i-134, and my sponsor must fill out a separate i-134. i also understand that i need to attach my u.s. tax returns for the last 3 years, but i don't recall ever receiving anything from the irs after filing. i know for sure that i didn't get anything this year after filing. can i use my files that were prepared by h&r block or do i have to get in touch with the irs and receive some sort of statement. also, my mom in indiana will be co-sponsoring for me since i have no u.s. income. since she will meet the 125% line with her income, does she still have to include her tax returns?

Only the sponsor needs complete an I-134 in your case both you and the cosponsor will have to fill one out. The latest tax return should be sufficient along with Pay stubs, Letter from employer and a Letter from your bank showing your current balance along with deposits from the last 12 months.

Police certificate needs to be only one using the CPIC (shoot me if I got the acronym wrong) - go to your local RCMP detachment or police central and ask for a Canada-wide check for US immigration purposes. If he has a criminal record (as small as a DUI from his teenage crazy years), he will need a fingerprint check, which takes longer. If not, he only needs a quickie check, and those are usually ready in days or weeks at best.

Welcome to the gang!!!!
