Hi everyone! I want to thank everyone on here for their help so far - both in threads that I've posted and in the many that have been and gone before.

I have a few questions about the interview. Cause you know, I'm freaking out about it (ever heard that one before??).

The interview is in six days, and my medical exam is tomorrow.

Financial documents

My main question is in regards to the financial documents necessary for the interview. The Packet 3 instructions were pretty vague when it came to that section. I'm wondering what other people brought with them and whether that was enough or whether it was overkill? Also, we know that we're not going to have an issue in actually surviving financially after we get married - I have a bit in savings and will be working as an Australian subcontractor for my current Canadian employer until my work permit comes (you can do that, right?) - but she (American petitioner) doesn't earn enough on her own to be above what I think they require.

Because of this, I already have a feeling they'll request an I-134. A relative of hers has offered to fill that out on our behalf, and my idea is to bring it with us to the interview with the rest of the paperwork. Is bringing that with us overkill? Is it a good idea or should I wait for them to tell me they need it and then submit it later?

Also, do I need to provide anything as the beneficiary? I couldn't find anything that specifically or definitively said anything about that.

Extra proof of relationship

We submitted a ton of pictures/evidence of our relationship during the beginning of the process. I've read about other people's experiences of taking more of that sort of thing to the interview with them - but it seemed that usually that wasn't really required by the interviewer. Has anyone found this to be necessary, or would the fact she is coming to the interview in Vancouver with me proof enough?

Thanks in advance for your help. I'm excited to be getting to the end of this process! But freaking out all the same.

I did that right after you suggested it and they wound up getting back to me really quickly. Now I feel stupid haha

Their reply, in case anyone else finds themselves in this spot:

"Good morning,

The police certificate needs to be valid for one year so yes, you do need to get a new police certificate.

Thank you."

Hi everyone! I have my interview scheduled for May 10 in Vancouver, BC. I'm getting more nervous and paranoid about my paperwork than is probably necessary, so there's a likely possibility I'll be asking about my concerns regularly until it's all done and over with haha.

I've lived in 3 different countries for a period of six months, so naturally I have a police report for each of them. For one of the countries, Ecuador, I have my original police report that was done in 2014 (along with a certified translation). I'm sure I read somewhere that it's okay to have an older police certificate - just so long as it was issued at least six months after you lived in that country. Mine was issued almost a year after I was last in Ecuador, so I've figured that I shouldn't need to get another one (and then pay again for certified translation). However I haven't really been able to find that information again. Would someone be able to clarify for me as to whether I should get this re done again?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I took proof of employment with me, but didn't get asked any further questions than "when are you planning on going home?" and "when did you meet?"

Thanks so much everyone! It's good to be able to hear tips from people who've been through this whole thing, really appreciated

Writing None would imply your A Number was NONE. Same for middle name.....If you write None then you are telling them your middle name is NONE.

hahaha it's so funny that you wrote this comment - I in fact do not have a middle name, so I'd been concerned about that EXACT thing happening. Puts the logic (or lack thereof) of my concern into perspective.

Hi everyone! I'm an Australian living in Canada and my fiance and I are applying for a K1 visa with pretty straightforward circumstances. No kids, no prior marriages, both natively speak English. Obviously then, there's a lot of the i129f form that doesn't apply to us and so we've left those parts blank. Our package is almost complete but then today I looked at the RFE Master List on this forum. It's really interesting to be able to see (so thanks so much to whoever has been compiling that), but I got confused by a little thing on it.

Many people seemed to have gotten requests because of Left various questions blank on I-129F form. Their fix apparently was to answer the missing questions, and in some cases it says on the spreadsheet they wrote NONE for the questions they didn't originally answer. The reason I'm confused by this is because on the government's instructions for filling out the form it clearly says to leave blank anything that doesn't apply to you. But here it seems people have been hit up with an RFE because of doing just that?

If I could get some clarification on this at all, that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance!
