-Petitioner’s birth certificate and copy

-Copy of petitioner’s passport

-W2 and Tax Return of petitioner (2022, 2021, and 2020)

-W2 and Tax Return of joint sponsor (2022, 2021 and 2020)

-Marriage certificate and copy

-Applicants birth certificate and copy

-Applicant police report and copy

-Lease with both names

-Internet bill with both names 

-20+ photos of the both of us over a 3 year time period.

They asked me for the following:

my long form birth certificate

police report

passport size photo

marriage certificate

petitioners W2 and tax return

petitioners divorce decree

 

That’s it. But it may vary with the person talking to you. Bring everything  by above and additional stuff you want to bring. Over prepared is way better than under prepared.

Oh forgot I have passport photos! 
 

Yeah I’m trying to go with the over prepared, I’ve known my wife since we were 16 but you never know.
 

thanks!

I also have a question for those registering their appointment, but that previously had a US visa (Say Visitor Visa). Do you just use your exisiting login and select new group? Anyone can confirm? thank you so much. 

You had a visitor visa and you're from Canada? Interesting. I never heard of that having a separate login. I hope someone can provide you with the proper info on this one!

At 3:30am, I received an email from NVC saying they scheduled an appointment for late October. We were DQ in May so I'm hoping some others here also got this email as well.

 

Make sure to schedule your medical examination ASAP! That was the first thing I did after I got the word!

Hello Nap782, we were DQ on May 4th still waiting for Interview. What's your visa category if you don't mind sharing?

Hey there! I know I'm not Nap782, but this thread is for CR-1 and I-RI visas. If you have a different visa you are waiting for, I recommend that you look for a thread dedicated to that specific visa as this one won't really help much if you are awaiting a different one

Hey all! I tried searching for this but couldn't find anything. I have on my IL letter that my interview is Sept 18th at 7:45, however I just got an email this morning from us-visa-info email address showing my courrier information that I set up, and that my consular interview date is September 18th but at 10:45 instead. I'm kind of confused if this is wrong or just updated. I dont want to show up at 10:45 if my appointment was supposed to be 7:45. Has anyone encountered this?

I would go off the date and time on your original interview letter. Worst case is your early and can go grab breakfast somewhere if you need to wait. It's right downtown so you have plenty of restaurant options  

Update: I just checked my courier information email I received when I set it up and my interview date and time is not on the confirmation at all. Do you have a screenshot of that spot of your confirmation at all so I can make sure I'm looking at the right info?

Yep that was my thought as well, is just proceed like its 745 and they will tell me if I'm wrong. My hotel is only about 5minute walk away anyways, I'm just super confused and already stressed out haha. Here's the email I got this morning

Oh! That one! Interesting! My interview date remained the same from the original interview letter. WEIRD! In that case, I'd recommend just going in at 7:45 anyway with both your interview letter as well as the courier details and mention that two different times were provided so you're unsure. They have someone just inside that verifies everything so they will likely tell you the confirmed time when you are there.

Thats good to know that they have someone checking them, so that I dont have to sit there for 3 hours waiting for someone to call my name if I dont have to.. though I feel like I've waited through the process long enoug that 3 hours should be nothing by now. Thanks for the input!!

Haha! Yeah! Basically when you get there, you'll see a line up and then a security guard will either call an interview time or ask you for your interview time. They are really nice. Once they confirm your time with you, they bring you inside where you hand your passport to the first person and they check you in. I am sure they would let you in to double check your interview time if you have both conflicting documents. They are very friendly.

I just got an updated interview time as well, my interview date is August 23rd @7:45 but just received an email that my interview time has been changed to 11:30? 
 

Never seen this before…

My attorney said to still go at the original time, I’ll keep you all updated. 
 

These last 48 hours have been tough, very anxious/nervous!
