What else should we get ready for the interview in london???

[Laura_and_IanM 0]

Right so we sent off the checklist, but is there anything else that isn't on there that we should take with us? Like wedding photos? Proof of our ongoing relationship prior to marriage??? There was nothing in the checklist that said we need that but jsut want to be on the safe side. If anyone could please help, let us know what we should have...Thanks in advance...

Yes you should have copies of everything sent with the I-129F petition, and perhaps new info from since the package was sent, such as emails, phone logs, and chat logs.

More recent pictures together, perhaps receipts from purchases for things given to each other. Other than that you should be fine with copies of original items sent with the I-129F. Of course don't forget the I-134 form with supporting documentation.

My husband (the Brit) and I (the USC) got married in 2001; all we needed was a marriage certificate. We were not asked for, nor did we provide, any other evidence of the validity of our relationship. I guess they figure since we've been married 5+ years and own a home together, our marriage is valid.

Since you've been married less than two years, though, you might need a waiver or something. I don't know about primary purpose laws in the US but in the UK they used to be strict. When I applied for my fiancee visa for the UK in 2001, they did want proof of our ongoing relationship in the form of e-mails, photographs, plane ticket stubs, etc.

We met a couple last week at the embassy who had been married less than two years who got their visa but said they were 'hassled' about providing other 'evidence' of their relationship. Unfortunately I didn't ask them any questions about that. Sorry!
