Also, is it possible to email Sydney next week and ask for my case number so I have it with me at my medical?

Awe Hammy Thank you so much! I e-mailed that entire post to David on the medical requirements. I am sure that will help him greatly! Thank you!

I WILL SEE MY HUSBAND IN 10 DAYS!!

Hi Hampster,

Why did you have to take Evidence of financial support - I-864 with you to your interview? I can't see it on my list that sent me with the DS-230 part 1.

When I was organising my things for my interview,

Elle was kind enough to send me the list on how the,

Consulate likes things in order.. re Paperwrok when you have Interview.

this is what the Consulate sent me (I had an CR1 interview):

1. One photograph
   
2. Valid passport
   
3. Visa Screen Cert - for healthcare workers - prolly N/A for you
   
4. Original Birth Cert and one photocopy (I had mine certified, went to the local police station and asked -- thanks for the tip on that 1 Lyndel!)
   
5. For minor childre - court order verification sole custody to immigrating parent...Im guessing N/A for you too?
   
6. Original Adoption decree or evidence of name change when applicaple, original and one photocopy
   
7. Original Divorce Cert and one photocopy
   
8. Original Marriage Cert and one photocopy
   
9. Original Police Cert and one photopcy
   
10. Original Court Records if applicaple and one photocopy of each
    
11. Original Military Record if applicable and one photocopy of each
    
12. Evidece of financial support - I-864
    

It didnt state where the medical was to go,

so I just put mine at the end and had no problem with it.

I gave them the original, I made copies for myself and one to hand in just in case.

They did keep the original though (it was that booklet you gave to the doc).

Hope that helps any up and coming with their Interview

Cheers

Paul

p.s Kath, How is Mum Doing these days?

Hopefully better by now

i was just going to ask about that... i thought that the other person - the one that wants you to go over to their country put that evidence in when they requested it and that you didnt need it?

hi ya all

ok had a go at doing that map .. will you click on the link below and see if you can add yourself ..or anyone else for that matter to see if it works. if it doesnt well i will work something else out.. the data base side of things of dates and such will have to be done manually because i dont think this can be added to the website...

so will do a search on all of you if you dont mind who is waiting and what for and what date you got your approvals and interview dates..

hi hollywood..you could give NVC a phone call to ask about your case number would be cheaper than phoning sydney..the number will be on the letter that you should of received stating it has been sent to sydney consulate.

sharyna ... your right about the fiancial side of things coming from the petitioner...but when you go for your interview the orginal filled out and signed by your fiance/spouse is to be with you at the interview so therefore that is why it is in hampster's list of what to take to the interview..he didnt take any of his own finacial details to his interview..only his wife's eg. tax transcripts, W2's, bank statements and employer letter

k1 and k3 =I-134 affidavit of support

cr1 =I-184 affidavit of support

hi rings how you doing mate

whooo hoo for the 10 days to go quickly...

hi hammy yeah mum is doing just fine thanks mate...

well i did my volunteering today..was great.. counting out pills sticking on the labels serving customers .. using the cash register (which i thought i would be scared stiff of but wasnt) general tidying up when nothing to do ...was great i so enjoyed it...the pharmacist asked if i had worked in a chemist before ...lol the only downer was walking in the rain to get home lol and catching up on all my emails from VJ lol

so now i am offically out amongst the yanks lol

Hi Sharyna Keep in mind that you're going for the K-1 interview not the CR1 interview like Paul. You don't have to deal with the I-864 form at all. Having said that, you do have to have an affidavit of support and supporting documentation from your American Citizen fiance, your form is called I-134. Download it here

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-134.pdf

I've also uploaded the two page instruction sheet that came in the package along with the I-134 for you to view *as a guide only*. The information pertaining to the K-1 Visa is on page 2 (the second download). As soon as I received the I-134 and instruction sheet I put it in the mail and sent it to my US fiance so that he could fill it out, collect the documents he needed, get things notorized and send it back to me ASAP.

[SharynY 2]

he mailed me all copies or the originals of what he sent to USCIS.... theyre at home...

we're following this.... which i found here on this site (thankyou!)

honestly it all seems so daunting! and its like my brain is just to overloaded....

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

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.

3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is notarized (by a US Notary Public), with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.

7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

Examples: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

there ya go sharnya

number 4 and 5 is related to the U.S. citz mate....your doing fine just dont forget to relax about it all.. i know how you feel.. when doing the packet 3 i thought omg where do i start ..but i sat back looked at what had to be done and did it one piece at a time and when one thing was completed i put it aside and when i finished it all .checked it double checked it and sent in the readiness forms to sydney and all went well..dont overload too much mate you will get a headache ...if your stressin over it put it aside for an hour or so and go back to it take your time...

you'll be right mate..

Sharyna: Don't stress too much, its not too hard, just takes a lot of work, it pays to be methodical

One small thing that you should note Sharyna, to make it a little MORE difficult, all the consulates in the world seem to like things a little differently, and have a slightly different list of requirements. For example, the Sydney consulate doesn't ask to see the NOA2. Nor does it ask you to bring a whole copy of the I-129f stuff (you'll need the evidence of relationship though). What I'm saying is, don't stress too much, once you receive Package 3 everything you need will become clear and you'll see what the Sydney consulate requires.

Good luck mate!

[SharynY 2]

Hi guys, good news... the notorized tax stuff arrived today... remember I was saying that I was expecting it from Tony? Anyway... another little discovery was made... regular mail and priority mail take the same amount of time to arrive, despite paying a small fortune (in my view) for the latter. Grrr...

Hey guys update!

Yesterday Corey got Packet 4 and we got our interview date!!! Woot.

His interview is in a....week. It's scheduled for the 4th of May!

I thought they give you like a month's notice?!

But anyways, he won't be able to make that one so he's rescheduled to the 30th of May.

I don't know why we only got barely a week's notice of the interview date. We only sent out our checklist like a week before lol. I saw other people post their interview dates before we received packet 4 and theirs were for around the end of May as well. I think the consulate wants to get rid of our case, I email them too much haha!

But yay! We have an interview date!

He's going to the doctor's on Tuesday for his medical as well. Things are about to get rollinggggggg!
