My fiancé and I are going to be heading out to print the last few documents I need before I head back to Montreal for my interview and I just came up with a minor, last minute question. I was reading reviews for the consulate and one of the most recent mentioned that the DS-160 needs to be printed in color. I printed everything in black and white, and now I'm wondering how much it actually matters. Should I reprint the DS-160 in color? Is there anything else, like my passport bio page, that should also be in color?

I'm glad this whole thing is almost over!

Hey! Those were my words and my experience in that Montreal interview forum that I had my fiancé "Chris&Olivia" post for me... My interview was last Wednesday. They specifically asked for the DS-160 to be in colour. By all means, do as you please... But it's an extra 20 cents at most for A coloured copy as well as peace of mind. As for the copy of the passport... I just had that in black and white (but make sure your face is visible and not blacked out... Youll have to play around with the printer to lighten up the image) whatever questions you may have, let me know. the whole interview process is still very clear in my memory.

After 63 days we can finally stop refreshing the damn app. APPROVEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

I sent in 5 photos of us. Photos of the engagement ring. Photos of the receipt. A photo with the ring on her and us together. I'm not sure how much more I can provide.

I can give them specifics on how we met. One of the requirements they put on the sheet was a statement from myself or her stating that this is a real relationship. I think i'll write one up and have both of us sign it. I also plan to take a photo of us this weekend holding the RFE letter as proof that we've been around each other in the past. Good move or bad? I see her every weekend.

My gut tells me that my lawyer did not send them everything I had given him.

Does anyone have any advice on how to reply to an RFE? Is a cover letter a good idea?

Thanks

To be honest, the first thing I thought was that the lawyer didn't send that in... Who knows... Nothing that you can dwell on now... Just keep Moving forward from here. Yes, send them a letter on how you met. That's what we did... If I remember correctly, that was a requirement. I don't want to tell you to send a picture of you both with the rfe in case that is the wrong move... But I'm sure you can take photos with the date on them... See what everyone else thinks first and go from there... I am definitely not an expert but will comment on what I see fit. What part of Canada?

Hello All,

I've been following the forum and last week i received a notice that i'll be getting an RFE. I was a little upset as I used a lawyer to avoid that. I received the RFE letter today and its asking for the following:

- Circumstances of Meeting

- Last Personal Meeting

My lawyer had included a signed affidavit stating we met online. They want to know specifically which site we met on. Also, i gave my lawyer photos of us, the ring i purchased, the receipt of the ring, a photo of us with the ring on her finger, emails, and a whole stack of credit card statements highlighting all canada transactions.

Since i'm in the US and shes in Canada, they don't stamp our passports.

Am i missing something? Either my lawyer forgot to send those critical pieces of information or we have not provided enough.

Suggestions?

I've asked people we know to write statements and sign them stating they met her with me. I also asked my pastor to do the same.

Thanks in advance.

My fiancé went on to Wikipedia and printed out the specific Chat line information that we met on 12 years ago (as it doesn't exist now)... Also did you only send one photo of both of you in it? Or multiples?

We all filed March 2015, not 2016. We are all a year ahead of you! You may need to search out the March 2016 filer thread for your group.

Haha that's what happens when you get too excited! You forget what year it is! Thanks

Hey everyone! Just filed for my k1! Super excited to get this process in motion. Just joined today and hoping the support and valuable input from

Everyone will help this process be less stressful.

I agree with Chris & Olivia. A lot of these questions can be easily found via the search engine. I understand that this process may be confusing, but the answers are there... They even come equipped with examples so that you can be successful. In no way would I hand write a letter of intent, or any piece of document, unless stated otherwise. The only thing that should be signed in black pen is your signature and/or the signature of your fiancé(e). we all have a common goal and that is to eventually be with the one we love... But if you haven't been through the process yet and you are handing out advice (although it is in good faith)... Don't. it's one thing to be sure about what you're saying to another hopeful, but it'll be a total demise if your advice isn't correct and that person has to start over. A lot of you are already nervous, scared and losing patience (rightfully so)... But any set back because of false information will only increase their anxiety and put more time on this already vigorous process.
