I-129 Documents for Interview?

When MY ATTORNEY was preparing the I-129f, I provided pictures, emails, and phone records. I knew nothing about the process so I did not keep copies.

I now realize that my fiancee will need these documents for the K1 interview (were waiting of Pkg 4). I can print pictures and emails, but they won't be an exact duplicate of what was included with the I-129. Would this matter?

I have a BIG problem with phone records because I have changed cell phone providers. I don't have copies of the call records and I assume if I call the company they won't have the information or will refuse to provide it.

My Fiancee is in China. She called the phone company to get a record of incoming calls, but the phone company can't or won't provide it.

Any suggestions?

I realize now that MY ATTORNEY has done nothing but fill-in the blanks on the forms. My knowledge of the process, time limes, and documentation needs, have come from VJ.

It's best if you provide a duplicate of the I-129 package. However, if you don't have it then you still need to send your fiancee other proof. That would be expected anyway to prove that you're still in a relationship since you've sent in your K1 documents.

At my husband's interview we took gifts, my ring, postcards, letters, and pictures that we had accumulated since the I-129. Do you have anything like that that she can take with her?

Whatever has been sent to USCIS will be forwarded to NVC. You can always explain your situation, and maybe get recent phone records...maybe for a week or so from your current phone provider. At least something is better than nothing. Or maybe a few emails/ or chat records.

Best of luck

Yes!! We have everything after the I-129 was submitted - photos from my visit at Spring Festival, emails, daily Skype records, travel receipts, etc. Lots of documentation.

You may have already done this, but read the China subforum and consult some of the experienced members who have dealt with the consulate. Guangzhou is a tough place, by some accounts.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

if you already sent in those evidence then it will be inside with your file in China so don't worry about it. what you can do it print CURRENT phone records and emails and bring them to the interview. you don't need to bring an exact duplicate of whatever you sent to the interview because it's not needed, GUZ wants to see on going relationship evidence, so whatever you sent to USCIS a long time ago will not matter much, they want to see what have you two been doing after the I-129F was filed. so bring the current stuff and don't think too much about the old stuff that was sent to USCIS. if you have some newer pics, bring those too, also if you haven't already, you should write and Evolution of Relationship letter, this will help you alot.

Good Luck!

if you plan to attend ACS then you should get that letter notarized and then have your fiancee present it during the interview.
