some interview process questions

[kgo 0]

so we aren't approved yet, but we are trying to get all the documents ready for my fiance in Australia for when we ARE approved, and we are finding it a little confusing (as usual lol) trying to understand EXACTLY everything he needs after I get the NOA2 in the mail, and at what point he needs each item..

The VJ guides list that the following be sent to my fiance for his interview:

"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)."

is this actually necessary? at what point is the entire package used/needed AGAIN?

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

same question... and what documentary proof is this referring to?

"I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all."

My fiance shows this form at the interview?

It's important to send a copy of the package to your significant other because they might ask for a piece of information in the package and it's a good idea that they know exactly what was sent and have a chance to review all the details of what you sent.

With the I 134, they will ask that it be submitted at the consulate.

Hi, I see your point. We decided to do what they asked for. I wanted to be prepared just in case there is some misunderstanding or some document is missing. At the embassy I was only asked for I-134 Affidavit of Support ( without evidence supporting it) which was sent back to me along with my visa a few days after. My fiancee sent me everything ( he didn't feel comfortable sending so much of his private information by post, but the fear of not doing what we were told was bigger).The good thing was that the package helped me to review details ( like his bio) and it was , in fact, the first time I read our love story he submitted- there were many dates I find hard to remember. Good luck with everything!

We no longer had a copy of the orignal I-129F and were fine. It may depend one which consulate you are going through. Check their requirements.

May be, check with your local embassy on what they request. Better to have it than to not, don't you agree?

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

same question... and what documentary proof is this referring to?

The original pictures, receipt, and boarding passes you submitted as proof of having met and any originals if you sent anything for proof of an ongoing relationship.

"I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all."

Most consulates required it. Check with your local consulate. Again, better to be safe than sorry.

Read the Guides and the Flowchart. It is all spelled out.
