List of Documents I (Petitioner) must take to interview?

[Cin 4]

Hello to all,

As some of you know we have our interview date set to June 16,2011. He (my fiancé) has already received his packet with the list of things he needs to do and documents he needs to take with him to he interview. I however am very lost as far as what I need to take with me. I have heard that I need a letter from my employee, letter from bank, 3 years worth of income taxes and affidavit of support. I just can't find this proper list of things I need. Where do I find it? I'm afraid i will forget something and m very OCD when it comes to things like this. Can someone help me by telling me where to locate this list and/or copy and paste the link and/or copy and paste the actual list?

I believe the instructions that go with the I-134 let you know what will be required of you.

Good luck!

Have you check the instruction packet that the beneficiary received? That typically lists what is required.

Also the embassy website can be helpful. http://santodomingo.usembassy.gov/iv-required_documents.html

Your statement is confusing, the petitioner ( the US Citizen that filed the I-129F ) does not have to interview and so does not take any documents to the interview. The petitioner sends the original receipts and evidence and copy of the I-129F package to the foreign beneficiary, along with the I-134 affidavit of support and supporting evidence.

The beneficiary ( the foreign fiance that interviews at the embassy ) will have to get birth certificate, divorce certificate, police reports, whatever translations are required, medical exam and fill out the DS forms listed in the packet from the embassy.

Good luck!

The bolded is not needed. The consulate has the I-129F packet and they don't need to see the original NOA1 or NOA2.

On that note, it is good to bring an extra copy just in case something is lost at the consulate level, however, it is not required.

Technically the only thing a petitoner would need should they go to the interview is their passport.

The petitioner needs to bring the following:

-U.S. Passport

-Birth Certificate (only if naturalized)

-Financial Documents (I-134 and/or I-864), including bank information, last 3 months of pay stubs, 3 years of tax returns, letter from employer letter of intent (signed).

-Any additional evidence that will prove valid relationship such as...

-Trip receipts (boarding passes, luggage airline stickers)

- Hotel/resort receipts

- Cell Phone bills

- Calling Cards

- Western Union receipts

- Windows Instant Messenger/Vonage phone bill

- Emails

- Printed out text messages

- Separate photo binder (with pics on a sheet put in plastic sheet protectors for easy removal)

Sure if you want to take risks.

What about just your Current year Income tax return only for income verification?

What about just your Current year Income tax return only for income verification?

That becomes so subjective, I don't really know what the best answer is, it depends on your situation.

Well if you feel comfortable with your situation and want to show your financial stability 3 years of Tax transcripts from the IRS would be good, to show a trend.

Do you have assets like 401K and/or bank savings. Maybe house.

A letter from you employer stating how long you have been working there, your job, your salary, and whether the job is 'permanent' is always recommended.

Average account level in your bank account over a year.

Thats what I do. Its much better to overdo it than be sorry later. I guess its also really dependent on the embassy.

Good luck!

does co sponsor need to provide bank information?

Yes, they must prove source of income.

Yes, they must prove source of income.

How about if their source of income is their job and to prove that they have pay stubs and income taxes, do they still have to show bank info letter? What happens if the co sponsor doesnt have significant amount in the bank?

Your statement is confusing, the petitioner ( the US Citizen that filed the I-129F ) does not have to interview

By recent accounts, the petitioner had sure as hell also be there for a beneficiary's interview in the Dominican Republic, or it's nearly a guaranteed 221g or refusal.

Ecuador has been another such. A couple of fairly recent interviewees have attended alone and been granted the visa, but it's not clear whether the consulate's policies have changed, and certainly no pattern is yet obvious. Accordingly, it's still safest that Ecu petitioners be there with their beneficiaries.

Anecdotally (meaning from what I've gleaned without reading the actual embassy reviews), Haiti is yet another country where it's prudent for the petitioner to be on the premises.

In general, it never hurts and may help (and may save the day) if the petitioner is present or at least available on or near the consular grounds when the beneficiary is interviewed. If nothing else, it's great moral support for the beneficiary.

I agree, and I am planning to go when my fiance interviews also, but what I was referring to was that the OP sounded like the petitioner was the one that had to do the primary interview. So my statement was making sure the OP understood whose role is what.
