K1 Interview Documents

[Sophie & Nate 0]

Hey guys I have my interview in a nearly weeks time and I really am getting worried now and its stressing me out,which is bugging ny fiance like crazy

I think I have everything prepared for my interview paperwork wise. Birth certificate and copy, Passport and copy, police certificate and copy, 2x American sized passport photos, affadavit of support and co-sponsor too.

I have read that you may also need to take copies of the forms that have already been submitted with packet 3 like DS-156 DS 230 etc (I don't remember them all off the top of my head.) Is this true because it doesn't say on the list iv-19 ??

I'm finding this all very confusing and overwhelming at the moment and I just want to be prepared. I'd appreciate any help or input please

You are almost there! It is stressful but you sound organised!

Here's my advice:

1.I took copies of absolutely everything, all the forms, NOA's, medical stuff etc. (of course it wasn't required but I wanted to be prepared) I had them organised in an extendable folder.

2.Read the reviews of London and see what people were asked for, that helps to know what to expect: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=United%20Kingdom

3.Make sure you have the evidence required for your Affidavit of support.

4.Prepay.

5.Take your debit card and some cash. (I can'tremember what you need for DHL but there are snacks and coffee you can buy too.

6.Take a magazine or small book....you might have along wait. (but you might not) My wait was almost 3 hours.

Oh and uh...take your passport. Probably obvious...but just in case!

Good luck!! It'll be great.

It is not a requirement. People take them just to have a spare in case they happened to be missing from the file. It's rare, but it has happened.

Review the list (READ the details) of what to bring. Make sure your birth certificate has what they say it should. Make sure your passport has the length of time remaining before expiration. It's all on the webpage here:

Other than that--

appointment letter

receipt for paying the visa fee

way to pay courier (Visa, Mastercard, Solo, Switch, Electron, Delta) £14.80

Thankyou for both of your replys,you were both so helpful!!

I have my MRV receipt for paying the visa, passport and birth certificate meet the requirements luckily....I think I have all the supporting stuff for the affadavit but will double check it all.

Maybe I will take the packet 3 documents,just to be on the safe side

Looking forward to it but its so scary!!

Nothing to be scared by. It's so anti-climatic to most people. Even if you forgot a document, it's like an RFE--send it in and they issue the visa once they get it.

I don't know what you're taking. Each person may have slightly different things. A letter from employer is 1 page. A tax transcript is 1-2 pieces of paper. That would get someone by with 3 pieces of paper plus the form I-134.

What do you have soooooo much of? Describe.
