May i ask what the interview is for? you appear to be married and already gone through the K1 process?

IR1 / CR1 still have to interview the same as K1. This forum isn't exclusively for K1 applicants.

I was wondering the same thing. Why did he get a K1, get married, then go back to to the UK to get a CR1. It's duplicating a lot of the same process. Just curious about it.

It's not about the forum. Read the tiny print signature. It's wondering why the second interview in London, rather than AOS in the US.

Congratultions on getting the interview date, app-girl. :)

Nick's correct, it's not the K1 portion per sé, it's that it appears to be the whole thing over again with another visa type.

Since he was unable to find a job here and wouldn't be able to get to work instantly. His job requested he stay for another year and they would make him head of the department, we decided that if he had that extra experience that would even get him more opportunity to get a better job here. We have been doing this for 8 years, so I was willing to wait one more year. To give him the opportunity to do something so important to him. So I was being a good wife!! :innocent:

We have our interview for K1 visa on the 30th July. I just want to double check on this quote i found of what my Fiance needs to send me for my Interview.

1.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).

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

Does he need to send me all of this for the Uk Embassy? For instance, his original birth certificate and original of divorce decree?

He says he only submitted copies of these for the I-129f. But after reading this it seems i need originals for my interview?

Im pretty clear on what i need to take for myself and son, but its confusing of what i need to take regarding my Fiance who is sponsoring us.

Any advice appreciated.

Yes bring that stuff. You won't need it, but you will be kicking yourself in the event they do ask. We had our interview in London a month ago and they asked for absolutely nothing...but they could ask for any of the docs from the entire process and you should totally have them. Peace of mind, no loose ends. Get it; bring it.

Hi,

I'm sending my info to England for my fiancee's interview coming up at the end of the month. The checklist of what to send after the I-129F is approved says send all originals of documentary proof submitted for the I-129F. I PDF'd and sent the entire copy of the I-129 packet and will send a hard copy of one of the photocopies. But the original I-129F went to the USCIS naturally.

The items I used as evidence were birth certificate, photocopies of our passports, first 3 pages of my divorce decree showing the dates, judgement by the judge, his signature etc and also itinerary, photo's and some plane ticket boarding passes. All that was accepted by the USCIS. Here is the thing, if I send my original birth certificate, it would be difficult to replace that should it be lost in the mail or later, and my passport obviously I need that here. I can send a color photocopy of my birth certificate as I need it to replace my missing social security card here in northern Virginia. I just hate to send my only copy of my original birth certificate that some how I have managed to never lose in my 51 years! Is it really critical to send the original birth certificate? Also my divorce decree is like 25 pages and it looks no different than a photocopy other than a colored court clerk stamp on the back side of the 3rd page signed by the judge. Comments?
