K3 - documents required at Embassy

[hahuhobrad 0]

Hello everyone:)

Well, our I-130 was approved but I still think the K3 will be faster. My question is...."What documents are required for the K3 after the NOA2?" I see that all the back and forth at the NVC is not done; but what will my wife need for her interview? Will she need all the same Packet 3 stuff that she would need for the I-130? Am I making any sense? I understand she will need the I-864, a copy of the I-129/1-130 submissions and NOA2. I assume she will need medical and vaccinations. What else? The police check? Any other forms I'm forgetting?

Thanks alot!

Brad,

My wife's K3 visa is currently at the New Delhi consulate and I found out all the required information at the embassy website. You might want to try that. However, you are corect -- you will need all the documents which you mention below (police clearance, affidavit of support, medical check, vaccinations, original documents like birth certificate, marriage certificates, proof of communication etc.).

Good luck...

Hi Brad, I believe each Embassy may have their own, slightly different requirements, so check with others going through Thailand.

We're looking forward to a K3 interview in Montreal. They're very picky that you use exactly the forms they send. Guess that's a good plan no matter where you live.

We've already had my husband's birth certificate (and vaccination records) translated into English. We know he'll have a nation-wide background check by the police. There'll be a medical exam, too. We're waiting for Package 3 before getting these, but some people get the police check done early, because they have to wait a while for it, and because it's good for a year, anyway.

Meanwhile, he's gathering evidence of our relationship: cards, letters, photos. I'm getting a certified copy of our marriage certificate as well as financial documents showing we have assets in common, another proof of relationship.

We've already gotten passport-type photos of him, since he'll need 1-3 for the medical (there are differeing opinions) and another one for the interview.

We're getting familiar with sample Package 3 forms, even if the ones he receives may be sllightly different. When they come, he'll photocopy everything and mail them to me, since I'm the official form filler. I'll mail it back to him to sign and mail to the Embassy. This adds time but we want it done right. No RFEs because we didn't say: None or not applicable.

I expect to receive I-134 for Affidavit of Support. The I-864 is for CR-1 visa.

Thanks for the help.

I was still thinking about the I-864 because of the I-130 so you saved me on that one.

Good luck to you all on your interviews!
