I've got all of my stuff ready for my interview and I am wondering if I should bring along any items to "prove" our marriage is bonafide. I've not read of anyone who is doing DCF being asked to produce photos/documents, but I just want to see what the general consensus is here. Do I need to pack photos, our son's birth cert and others bits 'n bobs for the visa interview?

It is better to have "too much information" rather than "not enough information" when you're going for the interview, since you don't know what questions will be asked. And I would absolutely take your child's birth certificate...nothing says "this is a real marriage" like a child with your spouse.

Care,

Few DCFers are asked for much proof of bonafides, as living together is big proof. But I agree with the previous poster- better bring it and not need it than the other way around!

So true! I guess I'll make sure I've got some photos and his birth cert on me then :]
