Hi everyone I have two quick questions if anyone would help it would be greatly appreciated. First what is the best way to send your package. I see it says to have put together where it can easly be taken apart. Is a binder a bad idea? Should you staple it and put it in a folder maybe? Next does anyone know the latest and greatest on information of bringing pets into the U.S.? My finace has a cat in england and wants to bring it when she moves here. I have no idea where to begin with that. Thank you all.

I would not send a binder. You can save that to bring to the interview. I would recommend using binder clips just to clip the top corner so they can take it apart easily.

You should send your package so that its easy to review. Using a binder is not a good idea, and I have heard of some people just using the big binder clips. I myself (sent over 400 pages of documents and evidence), broke everything out into sections...petition, proof of meeting, and evidence of relationship. I then used different colored sticky notes and tabs to divide each section, and guide them to certain documents without having to dig thru the whole package. If I had more than 1 page for something (i.e. copy of passport, emails, phone records) I stapled them, but did not staple the whole package together.

As for the pet, Im not really sure, I would maybe check with someone in customs or call a local vet and ask them, I'm sure they have some idea on what needs to be done. You could always google "how to bring a pet into the United States" and I'm sure you would get a ton on information from that too.

Good Luck!! :)

People from some embassies need to front-load their petition with information to document their relationship so that when it comes time for the interview they have a better chance. Being from the UK you don't need to. Just make sure you have evidence that you have met your fiance in the past two years such as boarding passes, passport stamps, pictures, etc. The rest of the stuff you can bring to the interview but the person looking at your case might not even look at it.

haha, you should see my binders for the interview :whistle:

No its not bad that you don't have that, your fiance is in England and from what i've read they don't pay much attention to the evidence to support the relationship. My fiance is from Egypt and its considered a high fraud country, so its advised to front load the petition. I included everything, chat longs, chat conversations (1 for each month), phone records (each bill was about 25-30 pages long), text messages, pictures, emails, you name it, it was in there lol.

In response to your question about your fiancee's cat: I know when bringing animals out of the States they're required to be quarantined for 6 months and I think the same procedure applies when entering the US with an animal.

Definitely do some research on it, the UCSIS website may even have some information on the subject.
