London UK DCF - 2012

To be on the safe side, is better have the originals with you.

You can book your medical as long as you have your case number. Without a case number they will not book anything unfortunately.

What about notorized copies? I would be so nervous asking my parents to send original passports/ birth certificates transatlantically! Has anyone else had to deal with this in regards to a joint sponsor's documents?

I guess notarized will be fine, but please double check before you go to interview! Good Luck!!

Hello all,

My wifes interview is booked for 14th Feb so we were getting all of the docs ready and copied yesterday - one quick question... one of her sponsors is her American Sister-in-law. Do we need a copy of her passport to go with her I-864 or will the I-864 suffice without a copy passport?

Thanks ever-so!

Congrats on the upcoming interview I would get the passport copy.

You will need a copy of her passport or other proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate.

Having a bit of a panic moment here - nothing too serious I hope!

It just occurred to me, obviously my DH will need to take original documents with him to the interview. However, my mother in the US is a joint sponsor and has only sent in copies of her original documents. Does she need to send us the originals, and isn't that awfully risky??

Also, we haven't received the NOA2 letter yet, but can we still go ahead and book a medical?

Cheers!!

On the instructions of the I864, it states that you can use copies of the tax docs, but that copies of the associated W2s & 1099s should also be included. You should definitely have the original I864 with signature though.

Also- you can't book your medical until you receive your case number, which comes from the NOA2. You should get this within 5 weeks of approval of your I130.

Copies of birth certificates/passports are fine. Read the I864 instructions, I think it will answer a lot of your questions & put your mind at ease. :-)

I have seen in regards the medical people mentioning if it is between certain months the flu jab is required. I will probably be having my medical at the start of march so will I need it and if so should I just get it on the day?

On the list of immunizations needed it does not appear to mention this at all and a lot of them seem to be age/gender specific. I thought the flu jab was only needed if you were over a certain age and not if you were in your 20's?

All comments I've seen on this forum indicate that regardless of age, season, gender, etc, the flu jab is required- even though it doesn't say on in that little chart. My hubby's appt is next Monday & I think he'll just get his jab there. It's £15 at our local pharmacy or £21 there, so we're just making it easier on ourselves!

Yes you will need it-applies to pretty much all.

Just get it done at the medical- £22

Thanks for the replies, I did just check the medical letter and it states it clearly on there too. Now I am wondering which ones I actually do need and don't need to get! Might be a good time to make an appointment with the travel nurse and go over the documents and my records.

No you do not need her original documents. I had a badly dont photocopy of my joint sponsors birth certificate and W-2 and tax return and some pay stubs. It was accepted fine. You are not required to take other peoples original documents, only your own. The I-864 must have an original signature though.

Your medical cannot be booked until you receive your LND case number which will be the next thing you receive after NOA2.

You will need a photocopy of her passport or birth certificate to go with it.

Assuming you are over 18 and under 60, you should only be required to have received two MMR shots in your life time, Tdap (or some other versions, i just got that one) within the last 10 years and the flu vaccination between October and March. You will need a copy of your vaccination records to take with you anyway to the medical. They should just print those off for you at the doctors.

Thanks Holly, I booked my medical for March 1st today so not long to go now! I am 25 so think I am pretty much okay although with it being on March 1st will I need the Flu vaccine?

Also having just booked the medical is it best to call them up in a few days before booking travel to ensure they got down the right day and time or is there anyway to check online?

[Holly2234 66]

No you cant check online so you would have to call up and double check if you wanted to do that. As for the flu jab, i cant remember if its march 1st or 31st that is the cut off. But it is relatively cheap anyway so if you have to get it there, it would not be much more expensive than if you got it at Boots or Tesco etc.
