So I don't need to send the affidavit? Or do I have to send the I-134 and then bring any supporting evidence with me? Other than that isn't it just proof of ongoing relationship? What did you use?

No belly dancing for me - I think I would scare away all the guests!! Although then I could eat the curry all on my own... :devil:

All you need to send in is the forms requested and the check list, everything else you take to the interview. All I needed at the interview was -

- The I-134 plus supporting evidence (notarized tax returns, letter from employer, copy of wage slips)

- My birth certificate + a copy

- My divorce certificate + a copy

- Police certificate + a copy

(got the originals back from the above 3)

- Recent notarized letter from Randy to say he is still going to marry me

- Passport photos

That was it, I had a big file of other evidence that I didn't need. Ended up carting it all round London for the day which was a pain.

Randy got forms notarized at his local bank, didn't cost him a penny.

I-134, tax return and letter of intent. Just the 3 forms.

They didn't give Griff any of our original or certified docs back, but we'd ordered extras so weren't counting on getting them back.

All the stuff you sent in with the I-129f and for the interview goes into the Mysterious Brown Envelope, which you hand in to Immigrations when you enter the US on your K1 visa.
