Ahh..the famous DS-156K phrase.....need some up-to-date info guys,please!

Hey guys!

I've been looking around the net and Visajourney for hours now, and I finally decided to post a topic of my own, because honestly, the info I found is contradictory and out-dated ..

I'm filling up the DS-156K, and you've all read that famous phrase:

'' THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS MUST BE ATTACHED IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR A FIANCEE NONIMMIGRANT VISA.

* birth certificate, marriage certificate (if any), evidence of engagement, evidence of financial support, divorce decree (if any), death certificate of spouse (if any), birth cerificates of All children listed in number five, police certificate

Now, my question is, do I attach all those aforementioned docs to the DS-156K, and mail it out with the Package 3 (Montreal Consulate)...or do I simply bring them with me to the interview?

I'm having a hard time believing I'd have to mail out all my original docs...

ANYY help is greatly greatly (and another greatly) appreciated!

thanks darlings,

Each consulate has different instructions. Follow the instructions given by the consulate you are going through. (for MTL, do what Packet 3 says)

Hello, just click on "Start New Topic" in the upper right hand corner of your screen

People have been sending the list of required documents with checkmarks to say that you have them, and then bringing the documents (original + photocopies) at the interview.

Others have sent the photocopies of the documents + the list with checkmarks and brought the originals with them at the interview.

I would not send the originals with the packet 3. Because if you lose your original of your birth certificate in the mail, that's gonna suck. Or if they refuse to give it back to you. There's also a guide about the Montreal Consulate on top of the Canadian forum.

hey thanks ^^ that's what I've deducted as well from the millions of threads I've been reading

I emailed the consulate, so hopefully they can shed some light on the correct procedure.

I'm leaning towards mailing only the form by itself, since there's no indication on the list that they want all the other docs (birth certificate, etc.) if it was a necessity, I'm pretty sure it would've been a separate category on the list, saying "photocopies of birth certif.,etc..)
