Re: Visa Interview queries!
Hey Sara, no not yet as my interview was only this morning so my visa and documents are still with the embassy, though I was given back my original birth certificate and police check when I left, I will post about my interview experience later on a new thread when I get the time (:

Re: Visa Interview queries!
Joey, you mentioned you brought the approved I-129F and a copy to your interview, what do you mean by this? A complete replica of all the documents plus a copy of what you sent for the I-129F or just the I-797? I just ask because i'm trying to compose my documents together ready for my interview shortly
They didn't even ask me to see this though, just as a heads up, but take it incase, better to have something and have them not ask for it, than have them ask for something you don't have!
All the best of luck, you got this!
Joey

Re: Visa Interview queries!
I assume you just need a copy of the USC's Birth Certificate and not the original?

Re: Visa Interview queries!
iJoey - you mentioned you brought evidence of a continuing relationship. Did the consular officer look through those?

Re: Visa Interview queries!
I brought evidence too, just in case, and they weren't interested/didn't ask to see it. They ask for the specific documents outlined in the checklist they have on their website, and aren't interested in anything else IF it's straight-forward and there's nothing sketchy about your relationship.

Re: Visa Interview queries!
So glad I came across this thread. My fiance has his citizenship interview scheduled in the next 10 days. Hopefully, as soon as he gets his citizenship, he will apply for my K-1 visa.
iJoey, the doc list you shared in post # 1 is quite extensive and will surely help me in gathering my docs once my K-1 visa process kick-starts. I have bookmarked this thread and will keep coming back for updates
This blog is such a saviour, i swear

Re: Visa Interview queries!
Hey Everyone, firstly I just want to say a quick thank you to everyone who posts on this forum, you've all been a real help through this pedantic process and I'm so grateful for everyone who has replied to either my threads or other peoples to put my mind at ease!
I have my interview this week, and I'm pretty sure I have all the required paperwork but I wanted to run it past you guys to make sure I wasn't gonna lose any sleep over it
-Passport
-Birth Certificate and copy
-Interview appointment letter and copy
-2 x Coloured US size passport photos
-MRV confirmation fee and instruction page and copy
-i-134 affidavit, and copy, as well as USC birth certificate, Bank statement, Tax returns and copies.
-2 x Police certificates
-Approved i-129f and copy
-DS 160 confirmation page and copy
-US embassy received petition letter and copy
-i-797 approval notice
And finally continued relationship evidence including photos, copy of his passport page with his stamp that admitted him to England, plane tickets of shared holidays together, phone bill.
Is that everything? And I have I got anything that I don't need to take? Any supportive advice is welcome! Thanks again everyone, here's hoping it all goes smoothly! Nervous is an understatement!

I have everything else ready plus the I-134 & I-864 (although not sure if need the latter) plus, can I ask how you got a signature from your fiancé onto the I-134? My USC scanned all of the the papers with his signature and then emailed it onto myself and then I just printed them off and filed away ready for my interview. Now I am worried that perhaps he needs to fill it all out again, the I-134 and send off hard copy. Hope this isn't the case as, you can clearly see his signature on the form even though it isn't an original.
Sorry for the extensive questions and concerns. Since reading this it had made more anxious to get everything in order!!

Re: Visa Interview queries!
Aswell as 2 police certificates. I have only my birth certificate and my Police Certificate that's it. For my K1. Do I have to have both of these for my US Fiance?

Re: Visa Interview queries!
Thank you Renae. I am going to have to ask him to do that form again, sign & send over via post. I am assuming he doest need to notarise it?
At least he doesnt need to provide HIS birth certificate & police certificate. 2 less things to worry about.
Thank you!

Re: Visa Interview queries!
The I-134 does not need to be notarized. Although it might not ask for it, he should go ahead and include proof of his US citizenship (a photocopy of his birth certificate or US passport). He also needs to provide a copy of at least his most current tax return, and possibly the most recent 3 years (sometimes the ConOff asks for that). Not a bad idea to go ahead and include proof of current income as well, in the form of a few current paystubs and/or letter from his employer on letterhead. There should be details on the I-134 instructions at Homepage | USCIS.
