After our interview we were given back all my original documents... HOWEVER, I also have the DS230 with me as well. I did sign the second portion of it and gave that back and I don't remember right now for sure if I have that too! I sure hope not! I did send in an exact duplicate of everything, and I don't know what they gave us back.

I am very worried now as I don't know if this is going to cause a delay. So, if anyone who has done a CR1 interview recently can chime in, I would very much appreciate that.

Thanks so much,

LGG

Hey lgg,

Just wanted to mention the Biglos just mentioned they returned his wife's affidavit of support form to her - i'm thinking they are returning unwanted photo copies?

Don't panic I am sure if your missing anything from your file they will request it. Congrats on the visa approval.

When I sent in paperwork for my husband I did not send in copies of originals. Could I send my husband the copies of the original paperwork I sent NVC, and they give him back the original at his interview in Feb?

When you love someone from the bottom of your heart; so much that you are willing to give your life for your loved one, time and distance takes a backseat. Only love prevails. And with love in your hearts you can overcome anything.

They should give you the birth certificate and the marriage certificate back - can't hurt to have him take photocopies to them.

Well, it seems that a lot of people got their AOS stuff back but we got DS-230 stuff back. I really, really wish someone else had this happen to them, or knew something as I was not prepared for this as it is not mentioned anywhere else.

This really sucks. I am very worried now about whether or not there is going to be an issue.

Okay... just wanted to list what they sent....

keep in mind, I sent in an exact duplicate of everything we filled out so...

The cover letters for the DS230 and the AOS

Section 1 of the DS230, Section 2 of the DS230, the unsigned one, as I'd signed the other one and she took it back.

All my originals including Police cert and my husband's divorce decree... the barcoded document cover sheets, my extra answer sheets, like explanation of 3 jobs all listed as current and the number of times I was in the US...

Umm, so to my rational mind, most of which I think I have misplaced, this seems to me like they're just clearing extraneous paper information via ME... I think i have nothing that they need as they have everything there as well.

So... I'm not going to harp on any longer BUT I do hope that if someone else finds this, they will take some solace in the fact that it's not just them...

Thanks a lot guys..
