Missing Anything? Documents Checklist for K-1 Visa

[Wonderlander 0]

This is so everyone can sort of have some sort of a list to go off of for the interview, if its missing anything Please comment so that everyone knows!

Okay so I have put it in a 2 inch 3 ring binder with clear insert pages, this is to make it easier for the Interviewer to find the documents they need. I've also heard Manila folder is very useful too, but this feels far more organized to me. again leave a comment if you or anyone you know had any issues using this setup!!!

This is in the order requested by the Consulate in Montreal.

Sounds complete to me, it's really well organized!

I wish the both of you good luck on your interview !

I not sure if this implies you're sending the original and a copy?

Birth Certificate (him)

Birth Certificate photocopy (Him)

Do not send originals, only send copies....you will bring originals with you to the interview

Someone can correct if I am wrong, but I needed my long form birth certificate for all interactions with immigration including the interview at the Consulate. I am 99% sure that short form birth certificate will not suffice.

Don't need:

DS-230 (Copy)

DS-156 (Copy)

DS-156K (Copy)

That is my understanding too. I had to order mine. I think it needs to show your parents names and place of birth which is not on the short one.

Also, I believe the following forms are no longer used and were replaced by the DS160

I'm not sending any of this stuff, this is the stuff I'm taking to the interview. We decided we'd take a copy for them to keep and the original.

nope we have to get the long form birth certificate but I figured I'd include the short form one too

I dont know everything I read said we needed to sign all these at the interview, we sent some in with the packet 3 but you know I'm always worried they'll lose it so I'm bringing copies of everything I already gave them.

[chiggins82 88]

Well, I suppose it doesn't hurt to have the forms. If you find out, you should post again on here. I used the following link plus my Packet 3 and neither said to have these forms

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/types/family/fiance-k-1.html#6

I know they used to be required though. I had read on here that they are not used anymore.

I agree that bringing more is better than too much. I plan to have everything I have submitted plus the documents asked for in packet 3.

Good luck on the interview!

[Udella&Wiz 325]

Doh! I should have read your timeline!\

Good luck
