Preparing my interview documents, need advice

[Kalina D 0]

Hello everyone! We're not yet approved at the NVC but it never hurts to know what follows next! I have a few questions:

I'm applying for an IR1 visa

I read I'll be needing my husband's AOS at the interview - is a copy good enough or do i need the real signature?

We have a joint sponsor - do I need any documents from her like her AOS and again copy or original?

I saw a document - I 134 that i did not quite understand what is for, anybody can explain to me?

Thank you for your time

*** not an NVC question - moving to CR-1 forum ***

First, because your profile/timeline doesn't provide any information beyond an RFE in May of last year, I'm going to work on the assumption that you are still living in Bulgaria, and are applying for a CR1 or IR1 immigrant visa (based upon how long you've been married).

AOS can mean two different things: Adjustment of Status (changing status from non-immigrant to immigrant) or Affidavit of Support (a pledge from your sponsor(s) that they can afford to support you without the government's help once you are living here in the US).

From the question and my base assumption above, I'm going go conclude that it's the former (your husband's adjustment of status) and that your package has actually arrived at the NVC (this is a not so subtle hint to fill out your timeline) and is being processed.

If my assumptions are correct, then it's best to ask the NVC that question, and if they can't answer, then when your case is completed at NVC and your case is forwarded to whereever your interview will take place, you can contact them and ask if original is required or if a copy will be sufficient.

I expect it's the latter (copies only), however well before the interview, the NVC will typically make sure that you have provided all sufficient documentation for the process to complete prior to your package being sent to the embassy for the interview.

for our interview i sent my man photocopies of all the documents i sent to the NVC.

NVC should forward all that to the embassy.

some people take copies with new signatures. but for us, they did not ask for anything.

take photocopies of everything to be safe.
