I know this may seem like a silly question given that it states "The following documents must be attached..." but... Is it truly a must to supply/attach the Birth Certificates for adult children in Question #5 if they are not coming to the US?

Thanks for any input.

Also look out for any Australia-specific responses... for example, for the UK, you actually don't need to send any of that in and it's all just brought to the interview (despite what the form says!)

Thanks for any input.

Q 5 are you talking about on 156K? It says to write all children under 21 unmarried. If you are talking about this little box this means your birth certificate not the kids ones. It is just a reminder of what to include with the form.

THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS MUST BE ATTACHED IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR A FIANCE(E) NONIMMIGRANT VISA.

Evidence of Engagement to Your Fiancé(e)

Evidence of Financial Support

NOTE All of the above documents will also be required by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) when you apply for adjustment of status to lawful

permanent resident. The USCIS will accept these documents for that purpose.

Your Birth Certificate

Birth Certificates of All Children Listed in Number Five

Death Certificate of Spouse (if any)

Marriage Certificate (if any)

Divorce Decree (if any)

Police Certificates

Yep, make sure to have the birth certificates there, certified by the proper agency, even if the kids are adults.

Getting extra papers is always a pain but you'll be thankful at the interview when you don't get a request for missing documents.

wrong does not mean the kids at all

Divorced !st November 2012.

Married only 2 years 1 month

You are so right! Under 21! Why was my brain skipping that little detail? Geez! I really feel silly now. Thank you so much!
