-On your passport there is a page that has your photo with your info on it, where you were born, where passport was issued, issue and expiration date, that is the biographic page.

-Yes they would like a letter of intent to know that you still intend to get married and this time they want one from the petitioner within 30 days of the interview. Remember the letter of intent that you sent with the original I-129F? You can use that one and just change the date and addresses. Instead of the Lockbox it would be whatever Consulate you are interviewing at.

Thanks for posting this!

I wonder about what we would send in for evidence of domicile in the United States if we're living at a place that is owned by one of the petitioner's relatives upon arriving in the US? Would evidence include bills and things like that which are addressed to the petitioner?

~Canada-specific info~

[Canerican 242]

Here are some things that prove US Domicile:

-Voter registration card showing permanent US address
•credit card statement showing US billing address
•Credit Union statement showing permanent US address
•Bank statement showing permanent US address
•drivers license showing permanent US address
•Retirement fund statement showing permanent US address
•Mutual fund statement showing permanent US address
•license currently up to date

[Rob & Monika 87]

Proof of domicile is generally needed for IR/CR-1 when the USC is not living in the US. K-1 petitioners are typically already in the US.

[Maribel&Kyle 1]

How about the documents has to be originals? Birth certificate?

[SF2007 48]

Never send originals, but bring them to the interview.

[dianaguava 0]

Thanks for the information on evidence for domicile in the US! It was very useful! I guess even though the interview is for the K1, and Montreal requests such evidence, it'd be safer to bring it in case they ask for it. Thank you for your help!

Your a k1 you don't need to prove this. your fiance already proved he is a us citizen when you filed the original i129f. you can bring another photocopy of his passport / drivers licence etc if you want.

4. Confirmation receipt regarding Form DS-160 - one copy, available online at

I am a little confused one site says that the DS-160 isnt needed ....But then Montreal Site ask you for your photo online with exact dimensions etc.

so i will have to go and get a photo. By a Professional .. Any of you guys have had to go through this annoying step ?

PLease i would thank your feedbacks ..

You need to include 2 passport photos anyway, so I believe you can just scan one of those and upload that.
