Life after NOA2

[Leo&Farah 0]

Now we're onto stage 2 of the visa process , I know he has to send me a few things before the interview (just incase he cannot be here in person and bring them himself due to finances). Our original plan was to have him fly down and attend the interview with me but we're short of finances due to a recent relocation on his side and new job so that is iffy at the moment. I have a checklist ready but need some ideas or a look through incase anything is missing.

1. Copy of NOA2

2. Updated letter of intent (from USC and beneficiary)

3. Original boarding passes (I have the e-ticket and stuff)

4. Original snail mail from beneficiary with envelopes and dates

5. (Original/photocopied?) petitioner birth certificate

6. Copy of 1-134 co-sponsor birth certificate/passport (I can't in good conscience ask the co-sponsor to send me his original bc!)

AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT

7. Affidavit of support - Petitioner

- 2008 tax transcript x2

- 1040 and W2 x2 (just incase they don't accept transcripts)

- Employer letter/contract x2

- Last few months pay stubs x2

8. Affidavit of support - Co-sponsor

- 2008 tax transcript/return (W2, 1040, 1099) x2

- 2007 tax transcript/return (W2, 1040, 1099) x2

- 2006 tax transcript/return (W2, 1040, 1099) x2

- Employer letter x2

- Last few months pay stubs x2

---------------------------------------------------

Letter from employer states the following:

a. Date and nature of employment

b. Salary paid and

c. Whether the position is temporary or permanent

Example:

"To whom it may concern: (first name,last name) has been employed full-time with the XYZ Company since 200_ as a (name of your job), and is an employee in good standing with an annual salary of $XXXX.

Signed,

Employer Name,

Employer Title”

-----------------------------------------------------

I have all originals of documentary proof that we met except for his boarding passes/passport and documentary proof of our relationship as they're all online and can be printed. We never filed 2007 and 2006 taxes so that's why we have a co-sponsor. That and with the recent relocation, the new job is still a little unsteady and will take a few more months to settle down.

Is there anything I am missing? Still mentally frazzled and excited about the NOA2 so I'm not all here

Thanks in advance.

And your birth certificate.

What are these forms for and does the petitioner or beneficiary sign them?

[Leo&Farah 0]

Okay nevermind, I googled it since the description on our guides didn't say much.

Form DS-156 - Form filled by any non-immigrant. Same thing I had filled in for my visitor visa. I found a good guide to fill it up here.

Form DS-156K - A non-immigrant fiance visa application.

Form DS-230 - Application for immigrant visa and alien registration (Why do we need this since K1 is a non-immigrant visa?)

Along with form DS-156K the following forms are needed:

1. Birth certificate (original or copy?)

2. Police certificate

3. Evidence of engagement (I think this is updated letter of intent)

4. Evidence of financial support (I-134 and supporting docs)
