Oh two more questions:

On the letters I got advising that their cases were forwarded to the Embassy it said "All beneficiaries that have a sponser filing the form I-864 Affidavit of Support on their behalf are advised to bring the most current three years of tax documents and supporting financial proof that is current at the date of the visa interview". This confuses me - I sent in, as requested, with the Affidavit of Support to NVC copies of my last 3 income tax returns. Does my hubby have to bring another set of copies with him to his interview??

Also, we were under the impression that I didn't have to be with him for the interview. Are we wrong? Am I required to be there?

Thanks again...

Cari

Your husband will have to take all the Originals of ALL documents, & I think they will want to see your 2005 tax returns now, which might mean it is a good idea for you to fill out a new I-864 just incase , :yes:

edited to say.....................NO you dont have to be at he interview!!

Me again returning to my best source of information.. all of you guys...

After getting phone confirmation from NVC I finally received two letters confirming my husband and stepson's cases were forwarded to the Embassy in London. Now come the questions:

1. Does anyone have an estimate as to how long it will take for the Embassy to send my hubby and son the Packet 3?

2. Can my hubby schedule their medicals or does he have to wait for the Packet 3 to arrive? Something about a form they have to bring with them??

3. Does anyone have updated information about the medicals, specifically where they can go get them? They are living in Devon.

I'm sure I have more questions but will leave it at that for now. As always... thanks to you all for your wonderful insight and information during all of this...

Cari

1) You can see on our signature it took about 9 days for James to get Packet 3 from London

2) I think he needs to wait for Packet 3, it has the medical checklist and stuff in it

3) All medicals take place at Knightsbridge in London now as far as I know. Packet 3 has the info on how to call and book with them.

Good luck! :thumbs:

Ok thanks for that info guys... I had already decided to just copy my tax returns (AGAIN) and send them to Crash just to be safe.. but I am confused about what Euro said.. originals of ALL documents? Didn't I send all the originals to NVC? What originals should he bring besides the forms they want him to fill out that they send him in the Packet 3??

:help: AGAIN... Now Crash has a question but he's too shy to post it himself so he's got me doing it for him, lol

Its about the police certificates: Do you have to apply to each counties police force that you have resided in even though it asks you to list all the places you have lived on each application form?

I think hes asking since he applied for a police certificate when he was living in Kent before we got married

and that application (which btw is dated April 5, 2005) had him list all the places he lived previously. That certificate he received only refers to the county he lived in at the time he filed for it (which is also the only thing they found on him from when he was 15).

1- Did that original application cover the period he lived in London and other places as well? And does he need a new one for the county he's living in now (he's been there since August)?

2- Does he need a certificate for all the other counties he has lived in besides the one it found something for him back in 1985 (when he was 15)

3 - Do we need a new certificate or will that April 5, 2005 one be ok god willing we get an interview in march or early april?? should he just get new ones to be safe??

Once again, sorry if I am making no sense... but thats why he loves me.. cuz I ramble lol. Appreciate all the input as always :)

Hiya the originals i am talking about are......divorce papers, tax returns,birthcertificates,marriage certificate etc.......you should of only ever sent copies of the originals to the service center & NVC, they will want to see ALL originals at the interview!!......best to take copies + originals just to be safe incase they lost anything!!!

better to be safe than pending

Good Luck on a speeding interview date!!!..I see we are only a day apart with our complete dates!!!

Hi Cari :D

The police certificate is for the UK and is not done by counties. So as long as he has not resided outside of the UK for more than six months, he will only need the one from UK. Its good for a year, so have you had it for a year? If the year is up in April it might be worth applying for another one just in case - not sure when your interview should be around though!

Hope this helps
