Evening...

So, the NVC sent everything over to London on Thursday apparently, so we should receive Packet 3 fairly soon, I guess.

I have all the forms filled out and ready to go, LDN number, police certs on the way, passport photos...but a quick question. Which, if any, of the forms does my fiance in the US need to fill out? I know the I-134 Support form she has to do, but what about the others? Are there any that she has to complete in duplicate to the ones that I am filling in??

So nearly there...everyone on this forum has been amazing!! Thank you.

Also, if there are, do they need to be original copies??

The 1-134 is really the only form the petitoner has to fill ot and sign. The others you can do yourself. Any info you dont know you can ask your fiance. Not sure if there are some country specific forms for your country, but you sgould be able to fill them all. I was in Ghana with my fiance 2 weeks before his interview so I help him with the information on the forms.

The visa stage at the embassy is all about you. Only the I-134 has to be completed by the USC and that will need to have an original signature along with some proofs of her income.

Awesome! What does USC stand for, exactly? I have seen many versions.

I also thought the USC would send you a copy of the NOA2, and if needed, additional evidence of your relationship like call records, photos.

I can't speak for any consulate other than London, but there is no need to send the NOA2. You will need it for adjustment of status in the US after the marriage. Also London does not care anything about further evidence of the relationship. They don't ask you to bring it or even look at it if you bring it anyway. It is truly a waste of time to get in a flutter over photos, skype logs, and phone records if your interview is in London.
