K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPre NOA2: FEAR of RFE Question, Help! Advice or thoughts?
I sent 6 pictures, and 1 copy of a passport stamp. Two pages of chats, and a couple boarding passes. No RFE. Had interview in April, they didn't ask for any other proof. Visa in hand ready for POE May 20th :-) You will be fine with what you sent.

I was adopted as a baby. I used my parents that raised me on the forms not my biological. But of course it was a legal adoption and they were listed as my parents on the birth certificate. I did take adoption records with me to the interview but was never asked for them.

Congratulations! Isn't it a great feeling?? Now onto the next steps :-) You can start calling NVC to see if they have your VAN case number and if it has been sent to the consulate. If you don't have the numbers for NVC and DOS let me know and I will send them to you.
Yay!!!!:dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPaying at Montreal
It is USD, not the Canadian equivalent. I saw that too about the credit cards. As far as I know it is cash only. That is what I was told by many people that went before me. I paid the $350 when booking online. At one time you could go to Scotia Bank and pay the fee and bring the folio number back home and put it in and book the interview instead of using a credit card. They are going through so many changes. Your safest bet at this time would be to go get the $350 in USD and take it to the interview with you on Monday.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPaying at Montreal

Tried to pay online through the phone system and it messes up the expiry date of my card and it gets declined. It is the system they use not my card because I tried on 3 phones and also called the credit card company. The website for Montreal says it accepts credit cards.


Do you already have an interview booked?....If so DO NOT try and pay on the phone line. Take the $350 in USD to the interview with you.

I was wondering the same thing. I actually already paid with a credit card, because when I went to book my CSC appointment online it required me to pay the fee before booking. I just received my packet 4 in the mail today, which says K-1's should pay in cash only.... Not quite sure what to do.


You did the right thing by paying online when booking. Much easier when you are at the interview. Saves a whole step :-)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPaying at Montreal
At the consulate is is cash only and must be in US currency. Best way to pay is when you book your interview online by credit card then it is all done in advance. You just show them the receipt.

TerryD you should update your timeline :-)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWaiver question
I am asking this for a friend.....
This person had their interview in Vancouver and an application for a waiver was sent to USCIS a few months ago...Today they got an email from the consulate asking some questions to update the file. Does the consulate email to update information mean that it is the final step? Any thoughts are welcome...
Thanks!

You need to get married within 90 days of your POE. Then you will file papers with USCIS to adjust status.

CanadaHow did you meet?
Kenny and I met in a game room on pogo. There were a bunch of people in the game/chat room, discussing hockey and Nascar. We talked briefly that evening. He was saying bye to us in the chat room and I quickly added him as a friend, that way I would know if he was online playing a game. It wasn't until a few weeks later that we crossed paths again. He came in the same game room where we met the first time. That evening there were a bunch of regulars exchanging pictures. He piped up that he wanted one of me. So I got his email and sent him one and he sent one to me. Shortly after that we added each other to yahoo, msn, facebook...A few months later I made the trip to Virginia to meet him in person. Even though we talked every day on yahoo and even slept with the cams on, I was a bundle of nerves that day. When I arrived at the airport and walked down that hallway, he was standing there with a video camera. We stayed at a motel the first night. The next day he took me to meet his mother. The day after that we left for Florida. We had a great time, went to Disney, Epcot etc....On the way back "HE" got lost in Georgia. Thank goodness for GPS. Normally it takes a short time to go through Georgia...It took us all day! The following week he was back to work so I did stuff myself. I was supposed to fly back to NS the end of that week, but ended up staying until Thanksgiving weekend (US). He came to meet my family. My daughter and grand daughter loved him. My mother was trying to convince him to move to Canada. Anyway he went back and I stayed in Canada. Not what we wanted but it had to be that way. I needed to finish some business here before we started the K1 process. That is how we met and fell in love in a nutshell :luv: :luv:
