Confused about forms sent to fiance

Collect birth cert, police cert etc and when you have that, send the checklist and DS 230, DS 156 and 156k back to the Embassy. Do NOT send the birth cert, police cert etc. Those, together with the affidavit of support (and supporting documents) you'll need for the interview. At interview, they will ask for those documents. Also make sure she has the affidavit of support from you and the supporting documents now as this is also one of the requirements on the checklist and she will be asked to present it at interview (ie do not send affidavit to embassy, just bring it to interview).

Honestly I would do both. Make a copy send it in with the form and make her bring a copy (better safe than sorry honesttly)

Also, the engagement requirement can be fulfilled by including your letters of intent to marry.

Man I am telling you if USCIS asks for something..send them too much. It does nothing to harm your case. Send them a freaking box. I won't risk my baby over some dumb crappy paperwork. If they ask me to jump I am asking "how high" and this immigration ####### is no game to play. Send them everything..send them double copies.. annoy them and I assure you that it's not going to hurt you, but help you.

I understand what you are saying, but this is what the instruction sheet says, that she received with her forms, and I quote, including their bolded words...

First: Complete and return immediately to this office the enclosed Form DS 230 part I, DS 156(both copies) and Form DS 156k.

Second: Obtain the following documents on this checklist, which pertain to you. Do NOT send the documents to this office.

The Affidavit of Support is on that list of documents. So they make a very strong point of NOT including any documents with those forms. It's just that Form 156k requests a few of those documents.

Maybe this will help clarify what you should SEND and what you should BRING:
