Hello again VisaJourney! <3



I posted this initially in the main forum but I thought it would be good if I posted it here as well - since it's Canada specific.



I've got almost everything ready for the checklist that I'm sending back to Montreal. Here's what I've got, line-by-line:



1. DS-160 - Completed and ready! I have the e-mailed PDF and the barcode number.



2. Scanned copy of the "Packet 3 checklist for K-1 Fiance(e) visa applicants" - Checked off and scanned back in, PDF'd and ready to go!



3. Color-scanned Copy of the biographic page of the applicant's passport - done and ready!



Specific Packet Requirements



1. Passport Valid for at least 6 months beyond date you plan to enter the United States - Mine is valid until 2018



2. Birth Certificate - I have a long-firm "Certificate of Live Birth" from the Province of Ontario



3. Adoptions Decree (s) - N/A, I was not adopted



4. Marriage Certificate (s) - N/A, I have never been married



5. Death and/or divorce certificates - N/A, I have never died ( :P ) and I have never been divorced



6. Police Certificates from each country in which the applicant has resided for one year or longer - I applied for this on January 9, they said it would take 2 - 3 weeks to get it to me in the mail



7. Court Records - N/A, no applicable court sessions related to any of this (or any at all, really)



8. Military Records - N/A, no military history



9. Evidence of Petitioner's Domicile in the United States - We have a form that proves that my (American) fiancee's father (my sponsor) owns the house that my fiancee is living in and is the house address on our forms - will this be good enough?



10. Affidavit of support (I-134) with all supporting documents - Okay. So for my (American) fiancee, this was pretty simple - she makes underneath the poverty requirements by a small amount and has no property, assets, or savings. We are filling out the form and supplying her W-2 from 2014, which shows these numbers. Is this okay?



For the sponsor, her father receives income from the state for disability and that is his major source of income; he also receives rent from the property that he owns. He is stating all the figures on the form correctly, including the value of the house - and supplying the receipts of his disability checks as well as a printout of the property details that show that it is in his name. Is this enough?



11. Evidence of Relationship petitioner - beneficiary - we can supply recent text message logs, pictures, videos, and I have a boatload of receipts and travel documents from when I went there in December 2014, as well as travel records from previous trips as well (the most recent before December 2014 being August 2014).



12. Two Photographs (in color) - of me? Of her? Of both?



13. Letter of intent to marry signed by the petitioner within 30 days of interview date - not a problem to procure this as soon as we get the interview date.




VJ, is this enough information to submit this packet back? Should I have anything else at this point? What do you guys think?



Any help would be massively appreciated. Thank you all so much again for making this all possible. <3

The two photographs are of the beneficiary for use on the green card and in your file. They need to be US size passport photos which are different than the Canadian ones so make sure when you get them done you make that clear. I had mine done at a Shopper's Drug Mart and the girl was confused but we got it right eventually. You will also need a photo for medical so might as well get that done at the same time. I honestly don't remember how many photos for medical so maybe look into that while you're at it. I'm sure someone else here can speak up and give you more info.

You actually should not post in several places about the same topic. It's against the TOS because it's considered spamming. Just an FYI ;)

K-1s don't need evidence of the petitioner's domicile, I think.

Yeah, K1's do need this. It is one of the items on the packet 3 checklist.

Oh wait, now I am not sure - I took a quick look on the forum, and it looks like it is only necessary if the petitioner currently lives outside of the US. Maybe someone else can weigh in...

(sorry, I couldn't figure out how to just edit my original post).

I have never seen that K1 needs to prove petitioner's domicile EXCEPT in IR1/CR1 cases where the petitioner lives outside the USA. Their I-134 with pay stubs and tax return should be more than proficient.
