You only need the letter of intent if on the date of interview your NOA2 has expired. IF that is the case then you MUST have a new letter of intent from your USC fiance(e) and it MUST be notarized. Otherwise I have never heard of them asking for it.

I don't know anyone who was asked to show proof of continuing evidence. If you want to be safe just bring a few things, but they have all of that information in your 129F submission which they will also have in front of them when they interview you.

It all depends on how much extra stuff you want to bring. We didn't need 9/10 of what we brought.

Good luck!

Marie :luv:

Thanks so much Marie - I wasn't sure about the letter of intent, but if it's not needed then I'll just cut it into little pieces and use it as confetti at the wedding. :P

I know everyone asks this but please take pity on me! I want to make sure I have everything for the financial aspect- as I am bringing it all with me to the UK and leave very early Friday morning (1 am) to make my 8 am flight. Anyway this is what i have: notarized I-134, letter from my job with starting date, salary, and permanent position stated on letterhead, two recent wage statements (I've only had two paychecks so far- new job!), 3 months worth of bank statements showing I have $1000 in bank, last year's tax return showing last year I made above the 125% poverty level. Also: notarized I- 134 from my stepfather (co-sponsor), letter from his job stating salary, length of time in position, and permanent job on letterhead and bank statement (not on bank letterhead- they printed it out of the computer at the bank, stamped it, and signed it) showing he has had a regular balance over $15,000 for the past year. I have tried to state specifics so those of you in the know (ie. approvals) can tell me if it seems okay. As we are staying here til we move into our house next month, I realize we need to show between my stepfather and I that we can support 5 people at 125% of the poverty level (5 people being stepfather, mother, me, daughter, and husband). We triple that plus some with just our salaries. I thought the banking stuff would just show extra income. My stepfather also receives a police retirement pension that adds significantly to his salary- do we need that or the fact that we already exceed the minimum amount make it a non-issue? Do I need to show paperwork proving they own this home? Starting to panic now!! Thanks guys. (L)

As long as you both exceed the poverty level for the five of you JUST with your two salaries, and have letters from your employers confirming that you both currently make these salaries, then you are good to go.

If you decide to keep your stepfather as a co-sponsor for AOS you may want to add his pension income and property onto those affadavits. The proof for that should just be a standard deed or tax return depending on what that is. For now you seem fine. Most times they do not ask for any backup except the bank letter and the employer letter. They take you at your word.

Cheers for that- it was what I was thinking, but just wanted someone to ease my mind. I actually just got a call a couple of hours ago offering me a position making nearly twice what I'm making now- so I won't need a co-sponsor for the AOS. We'll have our own home, I'll make enough to cover the three of us, and hopefully by then he'll be sorted with work as well anyway. If we are successful on Monday- dare I hope that things will start to come together finally...... :star:

Lawrence -

You don't need your tax return unless you are self employed. If you are employed by someone other than yourself, you need an employer letter.

She needs her passport (so do you to get into the embassy).

She needs her long form birth certificate.

The interview appointment letter.

2 passport size photos.

Um...think thats it. Somebody will catch me if I'm still not completely awake.

What's the "long form" birth certificate? My husband has two birth certificates- they are both just on pieces of paper- what makes it "long form"?

Hey guys. I had confirmation from the Embassy today -

Interview - March 2nd 2006 @1030am.

Shakysgirl- the long form b.c. is the one with the parents names and his place of birth. Mine is on an 'A4' sized piece of paper, and its typed. My 'copy' of that was handwritten .

Hope that helps!
