- financial info from college

-letter from bank

-bank statement

I-134 - Co-sponsor

-letter from employee

-pay stub stating how much a year and month she receives

New letter of intent

NOA 1&2

Sam (Englishsammy),

Your list is 100% complete, so no worries! You dont really need the NOA 1&2 and copy of I-129F. I did NOT have copy of I-129F at all. I just had the original and a copy of NOA2 but they didnt even bother to look at it. The did NOT even see the original employer letter(s), pay stubs, tax forms...just the photocopies were fine but I would recommend having originals just in case.

Here's what you need in the order you will need:

- When waiting outside the embassy: Interview letter + Passport

- Inside the embassy, 1st call: Original + copies of I-134(s), supporting financial documents (bank letters, letter from employer, pay stubs etc), birth certificate, police cert. and passport

- Inside the embassy, 2nd call (The Interview): Lots of good luck which we all wish you loads of + any other things the consular officer may ask to see for proof of relationship (phone bills, photos etc)

That's all!

Thanks for all the support for the interview next week. Everytime I think about it I get knots in the stomach.

Ohhh one thing you seem to have forgotten in your list Jahan is something waterproof!

I have all the docs except copies of everything that were sent in the original I-129F submission. I'll just take a few emails and copies of flight tickets, hope that will do!

I hope the bank is open at 0830 on Monday as I am out of the country working and fly back tomorrow. I have only had packet 4 for 6 days and not had the opportunity to pay.

Good luck to James & Miranda, Englishsammy, cheeky wolf and jenniferB!

Ohhh one other thing....If Approved will they SMS the passport to a place of work or hotel?...does anyone know?

Firstly, good luck to everyone who has interviews next week! I'm sure we're all feeling the same, dread, insomnia, panic, and sure that something will go wrong but I think it's natural to worry and after we'll all wonder what the fuss was about.

I have all my paperwork straight apart from one problem. I only have 6 months worth of bank statements. I stupidly had a clear out of paperwork before applying and didn't think I'd need any further back than 6 months. Last week I went to the bank to get copies, but they take at least a week to come through and there's no guarantee they will be with me by Wednesday in time for my interview Thursday morning. I do have my letter saying when my account was opened, spreadsheet of my withdrawals and deposits in the last 6 months and statements from savings accounts showing I have in excess of £50,000 in them. I don't work so don't have any payslips.

Will this be a problem? Also do I need to give the embassy copies of all my bank statements?

Any help would be appreciated.

The pink form that you will be given for the courier service asks you where u want the passport/documents delivered. This can be any address, whether work or hotel but remember that it can take 3-5 days for the passport to be returned, so hotel may not be a very good option. I had my interview on Mar 16 (Thu) and got a text message from the courier service yesterday (Saturday) that my passport will be delivered on Monday 20th March.

Also you can nominate someone else to receive your passport for you BUT they will have to show YOUR identification like a driving license or a bank statement. Good luck with your interview!

oh yeah...and definitely some waterproof clothing etc

Helen,

You have absolutely NOTHING to worry about...specially if you have over £50,000

Are u self-sponsoring? My fiancee sent me her bank statements which didnt go back more than 2 months!!! London is soooo good they didnt even look at them

Hope this helps.

Oh thanks Jahan&Christine that's very encouraging to hear. I am self sponsoring, Dave's been out of work for a few months but starts a new job on Tuesday so I couldn't really use him as backup. OK back to my spreadsheets of never ending bank transactions!

I told him off so now he's trying to act worried like i'm that stupid!! I might not call him for a while after my interview just to show him what the worrying is like haha
