US Immigration from Canada

Hi everyone! Want to ask about preparing the packet.

1. Do I need a table of contents page?
2. I see some people are writing a cover letter is this necessary?

3. Planning on sending at least 20 to 30 photos. Let me know if that s a lot. Do I need to include photos from the wedding or everything after the wedding up till present?

Apart from that, this is what I am including:

• Bank statements since Aug 23 because this is when she got her first job in the US. This also shows mortgage payments going out every month from transfers from our individual accounts.
• Drivers Licenses with same address
• Home owner insurance with both names
• Car insurance with both names
• Shared Health insurance dental vision (some are from my employer, some from her employers)
• Utility bill with both names (GAS/Electric)
• Joint credit card with both names (the statement only shows my name so planning on sending a photocopy of the cards with same number)
• 1 Joint Tax return and one married filing separately because first one was when she not yet a green card holder
• Beneficiary documents from both of us where we have listed each other as beneficiaries on retirement accounts
• Pictures of bdays, family visits to in-laws where we had a belated anniversary party with both of our families, her family at our house, My family at her house in her country, Christmas pics with extended family etc.
• Flights together/Trips (will also have pics from some of these)
• EZPass account
• Triple AAA membership
• The check we are sending with the packet for payment is coming from our joint account with both of our names

I feel like we are at a point where we are stressing and overthinking this, but we ve had such a bad experience, even getting the CR1. They had sent us a card with a typo and we had to go through the whole I-90 process and finally got the correct card but now it s time to file this sigh

Permission to post admin. Thank you.

We are still waiting for a case number but I want to make sure I am prepared and knowledgeable about the forms

I have a question about the tax information for the past 3 years, since my fiance is young he has had part time jobs before and didn't last. In 2022 is when he's got a full time, quit it and did 3 other part time jobs. Until 2023 when he worked on his current job, now fulltime. He earns a minimum of $16 per hour. Works 8 hours or more in a day with 2 days off.

He's an office admin there and it's a fulltime, papers are good too. I just want to know if this is sufficient? Or do we need a co-sponsor? We're both single and no kids, so it's only the two of us. But he only plans to get an apartment when Im there, since he's the only child helping his mom with the rent.

Will there not be any issues with his tax for the past 3 years too considering his previous work both part time and fulltime.

Thanks very much!

I went to the Montreal consulate for my interview with my binder of documents and thought we had everything. My husband has previously been divorced and it was in a different state from where he lives, so the final divorce document was esigned by the lawyer and judge, then sent through email to my husband. So I printed that off and thought it would be good, since it had legal signatures on it. When I went to the immigration interview I didn't even get passed the document verification window once the person saw that document. They said it needed to be a certified copy of his certificate. So, now, he sent a request to Texas for a certified copy of his divorce certificate and what they sent him was his divorce decree with a stamp on each page. There's no like, certificate so we're concerned the same thing is going to happen. So it is technically a verified document, and since it was efiled, this is what's available. The photo of the grainy "Signature Certificate" is what he got, and also what he got back after the county send him his "verified" copy. The stamped image is the stamp on each page that classifies it as verified.

I guess I'm just hoping for information on if this is going to be okay or are we going to get turned away. I'm so nervous about getting turned away again.

Hey everyone,

I recently noticed that my CEAC status changed from "In-Transit" to "Ready" about a week ago, but I haven t received any email or notification from the NVC or the embassy yet. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and schedule my interview appointment now or wait until I receive official instructions.

According the embassy website It tells me to schedule an IV intereview is through https://www.usvisascheduling.com/en-US/. But it doesn't specify if I should wait for their email or I can just do it right away.

Any information will be helpful. Thanks!
