My wife is the petitioner and she changed her job after our case was completed in Jan. Now do we need to resubmit the updated I864 with the latest employment letter and pay stubs in original at the interview? Secondly do we need to give them the latest tax return as well..

[gladiator80 0]

Good luck to bern, la souris and frequent flyer for their interviews next week... we will wait for the reviews

[trailmix 77]

Gladiator,

You shouldn't technically have to fill out a new I-864, but you should definately have the new employment letter and paystubs, in case they ask for them. As for the latest year tax return, well right now that is 2008 and will continue to be so until April 15th.

That said, if you have filed the 2009 return and you have it, you should take that along as well.

Edited March 19, 2010 by trailmix

[Wyatt's Torch 45]

You should also at least have a copy of your W2 for 2009...and I would bring that. They took it in MY case, at least. Remember that their main concern is that the U.S. Citizen can support the immigrant, so the more recent that financial information is, the more satisfied they will be.

[ValerieA 350]

Has anyone heard anything from Gordons2009 re: an interview? The K1's are getting May dates right now...

Hi Everyone,

How have you all been. I just wanted to share my medical experience with you all :-)

I had my appointment at 8:00 am yesterday at Medisys. I reached there at 7:45 am. The receptionist greeted me asked for the following

1) Interview letter

2) 3 Photographs

3) Passport copy

4) Vaccination record book

Then gave me a form to fill , where I had to check any previous illness or allergies. I completed that and handed that over to the receptionist.

Then I waited for half hour and was called for an x-ray. The nurse told me to undress and wear the gown. X-ray was taken in abt 5 minutes. I was told to wait in the dressing room and not to dress till the nurse confirms if the x-ray came out ok . After 5 minutes I got the ok and was told to dress up. She gave me a red slip to hand it to the receptionist.

I then went back to the waiting room. Waited for about another 20 minutes and the nurse called me again.

1) Blood test

2) Eye sight check up

3) Blood Pressure

4) Gave me the required vaccinations

Then back to the waiting room. Was waiting there for another 20 minutes. Was called by the doctor this time. He greeted me and told me to sit down . Went over my file and confirmed that I have never been ill ..ect...

Then he told me to undress and wear the gown. He the checked my lungs, heart rate, ears throat. Made me lie down and checked my abdomen, ankles .

Then he said everything is perfectly fine. You are fit and healthy. Told me to dress up and I was back in the waiting room.

I waited for about 10 minutes and was called to make the payment. I paid 213 for the medical checkup and 125 for the vaccinations.

Everything went very smoothly. Medisys is extremely efficient and courteous. I was home by 10:30 am.

Awesome for you, Salnik, you must be feeling much calmer now that you are 1 step away from the Interview, its going to be smooooth sailing now.

Glad to see your review, since I have decided to go to Medisys as well, now I know what to expect.

Hi VJ,

I have my interview in Montreal on Thursday morning at 830AM. I have to say I'm a little nervous...

I have all the documents on the checklist that they have asked for but wanted to confirm a couple of things.

How many passport photos are needed? I've taken so many this year I can't remember.

Also, I've read something about having an ExpressPost envelope with me. Can someone explain?

Thanks again VJ! Fingers crossed!
