Hey, My fiance and I are going together for the interview at the Vancouver consulate next monday. OMG! I'm excited but really nervous and anxious to get it done with. I'm all frazzled about making sure i have everything that I need. But that being said, I have a few questions--

1) X-rays- Many people on VJ have said that we do not have to take the medical X-rays with us to the interview. And we emailed the consulate and they said only bring them if there is something wrong (which there isn't), but I'll admitt, I don't hold a lot of stock in the consulate's answers. Since the x-rays are akward and fragile and we are flying, I really don't want to bring them. However, I had my fiance call the medical dudes in Edmonton and they said "you absolutely have to bring them, otherwise why would we give them to you?" But I honestly can't really see a reason why. So... who's right? Has anyone *ever* been asked for them in Vancouver?

2) Other things to bring- we have everything on the checklist, so besides those obvious things, what else do we need? I am coming with him to the interview, so that is proof in itself that we have some kind of relationship but I also have: bills with both our names on it (evidence that we have been living together for the past 4 years), university transcripts (we both went to the same university), pictures from thoughout our years together and from our recent graduation, engagement ring and wedding dress reciepts. Does this seem sufficient? Are we missing anything?

3) We're staying in Vancouver for 4 days, so what are some sights we should definately not miss?

Thanks guys!

Only a few more days now!

1. I think the panel physicians are a little over-zealous. They swore up and down that I needed to bring my x-ray to the interview along with the medical results. I knew that wasn't true due to other reviews on VJ. What I did was I did bring it to Vancouver with me but left it in the hotel room "just in case". They didn't for my x-ray at the interview (just the sealed medical). Another girl did bring her x-ray and the woman taking the documents told her it wasn't necessary for her to have brought it.

2. As the USC, bring your passport too so they'll let you into the consulate. I think you have everything there. That's plenty of stuff and you being there is a bonus.

3. See the new Vancouver thread! Some great suggestions there.

One last thing, Vancouver is awesome to deal with. It'll be a piece of cake.

thanks for the reply!

good luck!
