Birth certificates and Interview

[pedia 0]

Hi. Im awaiting my NOA2 but just doing some research. How many birth certificates are required at the Interview? Just the foreign fiances? or do they need the birth certificate of the american fiance as well?

I'm planning on taking both just in case. Luckily Tom has a couple of copies.

Do you think they will need your parents certs as well?

[Laura+Tom 2]

No, but the beneficiary will need the long form birth cerificate which details your parents.

Just beneficiary's certificates.

Only thing needed from US Citizen is affidavit of support (I-134), the US Citizen proved their citizenship when they filed the I-129F petition, or else USCIS wold have not approved it.

I'm just taking it as I happen to have a copy at home.

Would I need the long form version for the US fiance as well?

Well since you don't need to take one to the interview then no.

The embassy is concerned about the alien's visa application, period. Any issues regarding the USC's citizenship has already been has already been determined.

In the Guides section of this website it states that the Petitioner is to send to the Beneficiary:

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

I took the second part to mean all original proof of having met e.g. board passes, recipts as well as an official copy of the Petitioner's birth certificate.

When some say that citizenship of the Petitioner has already been determined making this unnecessary, I agree with that logic, however the Guide still states to send all originals.

I think for those who wish to do so, it can do no harm whatsoever.

Has anyone gone through the interview and offered or been requested to show the Petitioner's birth certificate?

In the interview in Bogota they asked for my Birth Certificate (I am the petitioner) and for the beneficiary's birth certificate. I don't know why they didn't have it since it was in the original submission. I know that in the Bogota Embassy other people were asked for the Petitioner's Birth Certificate. Thus, to be safe bring the items below (including birth certificate of petitioner) :

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

I read that too and it made me wonder. In theory that means I should take my fiance's passport as we photocopied the pages for the stamps. But that will be impossible.
