I was going thru US Embassy in Jakarta,Indonesia. Here is the list of
documents I presented to them.
- Police Certificate
- 3 years tax returns
- Passport
- Birth Certificate
- Affidavit of Support
- Letter from Employer
- Medical Examination Report (the physician sent them directly to US
Embassy)
I brought with me proof of relationship like pictures and emails, but they
never asked. They returned our pictures, which we had sent with Fiancee
Petition to Nebraska Service Center.
Good Luck for your interview.

I sent copies of last three years of taxes, affidavit of support, my affidavit
of support was the I-864, others did the I-134, PLEASE FIND OUT WHICH ONE THEY
NEED. I also sent copy of birth certificate,phone bills, pictures together,
plane tickets, the affidavit of support MUST be notorized, letter from bank
from a senior banker, letter of employment, copy of the i-129f APPROVAL, copy
of the I-130 NOA, marriage certificate, if married, 401k, profit sharing info,
bank statement for the last 4 months. YOU WANT TO SHOW AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE,
THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT. If you need to send anything make sure it's
Fed-Ex, make sure spouse/fiancee knows your address, date of birth and mom's
maiden name.
I think that is about it, they may not even ask for all of this just be
cautious.

Thanks so much for your responses. Not only has it confirmed that I have most of the documents required on my list but it as also given me peace of mind and confidence.
I would be grateful if anyone could advise whether it is necessary to get last 3 years' tax returns or will the recent tax return be sufficient?

You mention your fiancee's employer letter, bank letter and statements, tax return etc. But don't forget the 134 affidavit of support (notarized) as well.

Oh my, the requirements clearly state to bring the last 3 years of Tax returns, sufficient could cost someone an additional interview a couple more months away. I would not even think about bringing anything less than a hint of anything that has been asked for the consulars to look at and bring a copy of everything you have to leave with the consular too. Don't take chances and be over prepared. I doubt I have to remind you how important this is since we are talking about our lives and finally being able to live with our Loved one.

The interview letter or packet 3 letter should tell you how many tax returns you need. I know that in the UK, the London embassy requires only 1 tax return for the K1 visa. However, it varies between the different countries' consulates, so it is worth checking in advance. I agree with JeffB, why take chances?
Here is a list of evidence of financial support for the London K1 interview:

You could alternatively phone or fax the Hong Kong consulate for immediate advice on this.
