Interview this week (finally!) do I have everything?
So my interview is on Friday, finally! Do I have everything I need?
1) Police Certificate
2) Birth Certificate
3) Passport (Expires 2020)
4) US passport photos (question on these though, I got these at CVS last week in the United States and they didn't appear to cut them to the 2x2 dimensions - shall I get more?)
5) I-134 with employment letter and pay stub copy as evidence
6) DS-160 confirmation (still have to print)
7) Appointment/courier information
Shall I take evidence? Apparently evidence of an ongoing relationship is something that London doesn't ask for?

Re: Interview this week (finally!) do I have everything?
I took a bagful of stuff with me (photos, documents, etc) and nothing was asked for. And before everyone shouts me down that London "never asks for that", we had red flags with our case and I was questioned somewhat more intensely than others because of my husband's past. And even if that were not the case, I would still have felt more comfortable having too much with me than not enough. After all, it took us two years to get from marriage to the interview after first applying for a U.K. visa for my husband, being denied, then going through the CR-1 circus. I wasn't going to risk anything. So my (personal) advice would be to take as much as you feel comfortable with. It's your interview. When I was there at the embassy the bloke in front of me (also applying for a spousal visa) was in ripped jeans and had his paperwork in a Sainsbury's bag for life. I don't know his outcome but if the casual approach works for him, fair enough. But I couldn't go to the interview like that. I just couldn't.

5. Also most current 3 years of the USCs tax returns or tax transcripts.

And it only mentions tax returns if self employed, it can't hurt to have obviously - but I've read from a few people that had their interviews at London recently that the one they prefer is the employment letter.

It's always been the recommendation for both the K1 and Immigrant visas, but it's up to you.
