I'm losing my marbles!!!

I have been meaning to ask this- as far as the Petitioner´s passport goes, do I need to send in a copy? And when you make a copy of your passport, do you just copy every single page, no matter if there ins´t anything on it? Same for the beneficiary, should he make a copy of his? Every page of his is blank... but we still need to make of copy? Thanks!

Didn't you send a copy with your petition???

Best to copy all pages.

He'll have his at the interview so they can look at it then.

Each Consualte is very different in what they request for interview so your best bet is to check the link above and then with the folks who went through Juarez to see if there's anything specifically you will need.

good luck at your interview!

I did not send a copy of my passport in with the petition, because when I was in Mexico in January, my wonderful fiance spilled a whole glass of water on it, leaving most of the stamps illegible (the man at customs in the US scolded me). I figured that it would be silly to include a copy of all the pages, when they adjuticator would look at it and not be able to read anything. We were approved without it. However, I am going to make a copy for his interview, (now at least I have the stamps from visiting him this summer) and include a letter explaining the reason why the stamps are blurry.

By the way KimandRuss, congratulations on the approval!

Oh no! I'm so glad you go by without it! I can't believe the man at Customs jeeeeeeesh ...guess he doesn't have kids.

Thanks for the congrats. We are still flying high!!!

Hope Juarez is smooth for you!

In answer to your condescending remarks..... it's in the VJ guides to send original documents.

btw.. regardless of your opinion toward me or my timeline... i've been here for quite some time answering questions correctly. It has been asked more than once to have original documentation of petitioners documents sent with petition so i'm not just talking out my @ss as you seem to be suggesting.

I'm an organizer here so apparently I know a thing or two.. even though we've not had our interview yet. I didn't know our knowledge was judged on our timelines.

We could all do without the arrogance. Thanks.

First of all, I made NO condescending remarks, I simply stated a fact. As to you being an organizer, that doesn't impress me, as I've been on this site a lot longer than you, but choose not to be an organizer.

What you quoted is meant as a guide, and not any sort of offical instructions. The originals it refers to, is proof of relationship or meeting each other within the 2 year period. It does not say to send proof of citizenship, as that has already been ascertained by the USCIS service center.

You are the one that is being rude and arrogant, not me. Sorry if you got offended by my post.

May I please ask where you get your information from, since you have not been through an interview yourself?

If that's not condescending I don't know what is. Your basis for argument is that I have not had an interview therefore, how could I possibly know.

Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F

There is no reference (as you suggest) as to what documents should or should not be sent.

It was requested of me to send a certified copy of all documents, including birth certificate, and it's been requested for others at different consulates since i've been here. You act as though there is harm in sending it.

So, following your logic, because you've been through your interview and all ...and didn't need it...nobody else will either. Good to know!

Ooooops except I need it!

There is no harm what-so-ever in sending a copy of a BC and/or Passport.

Please note that I never made such a statement.

From the NZ consulate website:

Documentation

Upon receipt of an approved petition, the American consular officer will notify the beneficiary and give him or her the necessary forms and instructions to apply for a "K" visa. Since a fiancé(e) visa applicant is an intending immigrant, he or she must meet most of the same documentary requirements of an immigrant visa applicant. In addition to the prescribed application forms and photographs, the following documents are normally required:

• Valid Passport;
• Original birth certificate (long form) and the birth certificates of all children under 21 (even if they are not applying);
• Proof of termination of all previous marriages;
• Original divorce decree OR death certificate of any previous spouse;
• Police Certificates from all places lived 12 months or more, since age 16;
• Medical examination;
• Evidence of support;
• Evidence of valid relationship with the petitioner;
• Passports and medical examinations for any accompanying children;
• Visa fee, payable at any N.Z. Post Shop. You will be required to show your passport.

Visa issuance can take from 4-12+ weeks to process depending on circumstances.

As soon as the processing of a case is completed and applicant has all necessary documents, a consular officer will interview the fiancé(e) to determine eligibility for a K visa.

Again? wow.. you're something.

Thank you sir knower of all... I was there years ago. That is in direct reference to the beneficiary... not to the USC.

If you must know, and simply because I absolutely detest arrogance, it was a direct request via my email communications with the Consulate that I am referring to when I say what that it was requested... ALL of MY original documents as well as my love's CV/Resume..also which I don't see mentioned there..and lets see, what else... oh yes, contracts from current jobs... also not listed....etc, etc.. does this satisfy your obvious need to be right or would you like a blood sample as well?

How did you refer to it?.... oh yes, as a guide and not even in reference to the USC.

Guess we can't believe everything we read, eh?

I'm done playing with you.. you're no fun.

Well. No need for arguing you guys. It's all a miscommunication of what is and is not necessary to bring. Every consulate IS different and require different things.

Kim- you are very helpful. I have read many of your posts and your advice is very friendly and useful.

There is no need for offensive wording ok.

The fact of it is... It's insane to send Mexico my ORIGINAL passport. I will just mail him my real BC in case he does need it, i can replace it with another fairly quickly.. (not quickly enough for interview).

Thanks everyone for your help

ANd caity! You are one hell of a lucky charm to have gotten approved with no copy of your passport. Good job! I guess your BC was sufficient enough. thats good!!

Bye and thanks!
