Hi

We've previously gone through the K1 visa and onto AOS. For each interview (Dublin Embassy and over in the US) we had print outs of emails, cards, photos, utility bills etc. Do we need all this for DCF?

* Just to explain, we did the K1 visa and AOS in 2005, but moved back to Ireland in 2006 and are now doing DCF through Dublin :wacko:

We haven't got an interview date, but I like to be prepared and am wondering what to gather together. We obviously have our wedding cert, the girls Irish and American passports which we both had to witness, their Irish birth certs and US reports of birth abroad. Should I also gather Irish utility bills, Irish bank info etc?

Do I need more American sized passport pics? For proof of domicile, DH was registered to vote with his US address by absentee ballot so we have that, his bank account, credit card and driver's licence. I don't think we have anything more on that front, so should that be ok?

You are definitely ok on the domicile front. On the bonafide relationship front, I'd recommend bringing 10 or so photos from through the years, the kid's birth certs, maybe a utility bill or house lease where you are both mentioned. That is just to be safe, as I wasn't asked for any relationship proof, and neither were other DCFers on here. You'll need your wedding cert anyway as proof you are elligible to file DCF. I needed two more US style passport photos at the interview; go to the pharmacy jsut over the bridge from the embassy for them, they are by far the cheapest place I have found to get them done.
