Hi All,

I have my k-1 interview at the Vancouver Consulate on Wednesday, Feb. 13th. We're just putting all our stuff together, and want to make sure we have everything.

1. interview letter

2. interview checklist

3. birth certificate, long form original and copy

4. 2 original police certificates

5. 3 notarized i-134

6. original and copy of of-167

7. supporting evidence of support: original and copy of employer letter, 2007 w2 original and copy, 2007 1099-misc original and copy, 2006 1099-misc, pay stubs and copies of end year pay stubs.

8. intents to marry

9. evidence of relationship: photos, cell records, emails, IMs, misc (rings receipt, venue contract, travel receipts, etc)

10. NAO1 & NAO2 (in case they need it)

11. ds-230

12. ds-156 (2)

13. ds-156k

14. medical results

Is there anything we are missing? I'm all paranoid about forgetting something. Thanks for your help!

USD131 is the application fee right? There shouldn't be any fee for issuance of the visa after approval by the embassy, right? Hmmm.... :unsure:

Yes, $131 for the interview. $325 for the medical exam in Vancouver.

There is no fee for issuance of the visa after approval at the embassy.

Hehehe... many many thanks!!! I think I am going to use your list as my guide to get ready my documents.... I am getting nervous now!! :blush:

Some questions:

1. Did you make copies for all the originals and certify them such as birth cert, police clearance etc etc

2. Are you bringing with you the originals of NoA 1 and 2?

3. Did the beneficiary redo the Intent to Marry letter?

Those are some silly questions but ... you know I am nervous! Hhahahaaa

Thanks heaps!!

Cheers!

No problem! I'm nervous too :)

I made copies of pretty much everything (to keep for myself, and also in case they decide they need to keep something like my vaccination records or birth certificate). The only thing we had notarized was the I-134 which is required to be notarized. I'm bringing photocopies and originals of the NO1 and NOA2... although I'm not sure they even need them, but just in case (again, I'm paranoid). And as for the intent to marry letter, we put one for the beneficiary (myself) and one for the petitioner, we used the same one we used for the original I-129F, just changed the dates and reprinted and signed.

Hope that helps!

Sure that helps!!! Thank you soo much. I guess I will do the same. I am not even sure if we have this long form birth certificate because I have never heard anything being long or short in the birth cert here. Hmmm.. anyways I will have to make copies of it since the original is like falling apart. Haha!

Once again, thank you so much for your help!! And all the best at the interview and don't forget to share the good news!!

Cheers!!
