Hi everyone, I am under F2A category and I'll be having my interview on January 20, 2011..However I have trouble regarding the papers which I should bring over on the interview...

My appointment letter states that...

" Even though the applicant may have provided the NVC with a copy of a document, the applicant is still required to bring the original document to the visa interview."

That confuses me since I sent to them all the ORIGINAL documents they asked for such as the following:

1.) Birth Certificate

2.) CENOMAR (Singleness Certificate)

3.) Financial Support - sent by my parents

4.) NBI clearance

5.) Police Certificate

6.) Visa Photos

7.) DS 230 part 1 and part 2

The following documents are what I left in St.Lukes since they said they'll be the ones in charge of sending it to the embassy..

7.) Passport

8.) Medical Exam results

Now I am confused as to how will I bring those documents to the interview when I already sent them beforehand...And in my situation the only things that I think I'll be able to bring will only be my

1.) Appointment Letter

2.) Proof of Identity/ Relationships such as Photos and Baptismal Certificate etc...

I also read on some threads that CENOMAR and police certificate should only be presented during the interview...(I already sent mine)...does that mean I need to get another of those?

Please help me...Thank you....

My wife is taking copies of DS-230 and AOS (financial) forms and certificates. Your letter makes it sound like if you submitted a copy of a certificate you should bring the original.

You also need to bring a CENMAR which is the CENOMAR showing you and husband married. I was kind of ####### and had my wife get two sets of originals of everything so she has a back-up set just in case.

Oh sorry laalabie, I didn't notice that you were not CR-1.

Still my rule of thumb is that if it is easy to produce a copy (DS-230) you might as well take it. Can't hurt.

I can't say for sure what is absolutely required.
