I know we need to wait for the NVC to contact us but should we be collecting forms in the meantime?

 

My husband (Canadian) will have his interview in Montreal. Do they just tell you when your interview is or do you have choices?

 

It's been really hard to find info on this next step. But, glad we're here!

Check the applicable "guide" here for description of next steps.  Yes, you can begin to become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions and the form itself.  Yes, get the police report.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

congrats on your approval! 

You can complete the I864 while you wait. Make sure when you sign it it’s wet ink signature (not digital). Download your 2022 tax transcript (2021 and 2020 if you elect to include them). Get your latest pay stub. Your husband can obtain any police certificates he requires. He should also write down all the addresses he has every lived at since the age of sixteen… if more than 5 he should prepare for a battle with the online DS260 as it likes to time out after 5 minutes… 

We found this flow chart extremely helpful: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

 

pro tip: make sure your adobe is updated when you complete the i864. 
 

ETA they schedule your interview but you schedule the medical. Head over to Canada forum for more info on that…
