Congrats and good luck!

Thank you so much guys. I'm so happy right now. I still have the butterflies in my stomach...over 8 hours later!

Congrats to the other who was approved as well!

...and yeah, I was sweating bullets about the I-134 lol.

My guy just got back from his interview, and everything went great!

He should get his visa in the mail sometime this week, and then it's off to the USA!

Thank you Montreal! :energetic:

Thanks to everyone here as well for being such a big help!

Thank you guys so much.

Thomas and I are still on pins and needles right now. We are hoping that the financial evidence we got from my aunt will be enough. (We could not get an employer letter, so we got 3 years tax returns, a bunch of pay stubs, and her bank statements)

Have you researched info for the Canadian consulate?

What do they typically require?

Do you have evidence that would suffice in lieu of a letter? Such as recent paystubs, etc.

I dont even know where to begin for researching the Montreal Consulate.

I have:

her 3 most recent pay stubs. (I could get more if I need to)

her last year's bank statements

her tax returns from the past 3 years

I couldn't get a letter from my aunts employer

We have all of the other documents, except that.

What now? Will we get denied? Interview tomorrow

Both of us are such a big ball of nerves right now.

I'm at work, which makes it worse on me!

I will send them just to make sure. I would rather have too much information than not enough.

Thank you for your help

Bank statements are only needed if your income falls below the 125% poverty line.

We just did our interview last week and I provided I-134, 3 years tax return data, letter from employer, and pay stubs. My income is way more than the poverty line, so asset data is not needed so I did not provide any thing else.

Again you DO NOT NEED bank statements if your income is more than 125% poverty line.

The guide helps also:

I only make $15,600 a year, so I am below the 125% line. My aunt is a joint sponsor though. She is way above the 125% line,even after counting my fiance and her son as dependents. So, I should fax him the bank statements for the last year?

I just read that someone who went into their K-1 interview did not need their last 3 years tax returns but instead was asked to give their US Citizen Fiance(e)'s bank statements for the last year.

I did not send this to my fiance, and his interview is on Tuesday. Does he absolutely NEED to have my bank statments? I sent my letter from my employer, my 3 years tax returns, and my last 6 months of pay stubs. I also sent the last 3 years tax returns, and 3 most recent pay stubs for my joint sponsor.

Do I need more information? I'm running out of time!

We submitted our K1 Visa application back in January. My Fiance currently has a valid multiple entry tourist Visa for the US. Can she travel into the US before the K1 is approved? What would happen if I married her while she came on the tourist Visa with the K1 application still pending?

Thanks- appreciate all the responses!

First, I would like to welcome you to VJ

Second, you wont appreciate all the responses

3) Yes she can visit you in the USA while the K1 is pending.

4) The fact that you are asking the question re:marriage on a tourist visa, puts you at odds with USCIS, do not do it

5) do a search above, using words such as, tourist, marriage, etc

Agreed. I had a few people ask why my Fiance and I didn't just get married in Canada on one of my visits. They thought that us getting married was all it took for us to be together in the United States. Getting married before your K-1 is approved will cause many problems, and just make more hoops for you and your fiance to jump through.

Good luck, and welcome.

How many of you are going into the Montreal Consulate for your interview soon?

How many of you had your interview there before?

Are the people nice? What's it like?

I'm really curious.

Hey! Welcome to VJ. Try not to worry so much...it'll be just fine. I don't think they would give your fiance trouble because of being turned around at the border because he had not enough ties to Canada. It's a pretty common reason. If the officer ask about this at the interview, just tell them the truth. Good luck!

Thanks! That makes me feel a lot better. Like I said, there was no malicious intent involved at all. We were just misinformed, and didn't know much about the whole process. We're just anxious to be together

Thanks!

I don't think I've ever been so excited and nervous at the same time before. lol.

Hello!

I'm really glad I've found this forum. It will be nice to talk to people who are going through the same process that I am.

I wish I would have found it sooner, as it would have probably eased a lot of my previous worries.

A little about myself:

My name is Jennifer, and I live in the small town of Brinkley, Arkansas. My fiance is Thomas Letourneau, from Montreal Quebec, Canada.

We have been dating over 2 years. He asked me to marry him in June of 2005.

I am a little worried about the K-1 interview on Tuesday.

Before we started our K-1 process, I went to the Memphis center, and requested information on where to get started. I was told that Thomas could move here at anytime, and stay for a period of 6 months while we began the paperwork on his K-1 visa. So, he loaded up the moving truck, and was denied entry at the border, because he had no ties to Canada. If we would have been told this to begin with, we wouldn't have even attempted to move until the K-1 visa was approved.

I am worried that they will hold that against him at his interview. I have heard nothing but nice things about the people who work at the Consulate in Montreal, and it has given me some peace of mind. All of this happend from lack of knowledge about the process. I am just hoping all goes well.

Poor Thomas has had all of his belongings in storage since November 2005 when he tried to move. My poor baby

I look forward to getting to know some of you here!
