A copy of the whole petition package for the interview day?

[memmy 3]

Hello guys,

I'm preparing for my interview and I have a question regarding the copy of the petition package. Should I bring with me to the interview the whole petition package submitted by my fiance in the US? Or maybe it will be enough to have with me on the day of the interview only his stamped passport ( from his visit to my home country), his birth records, and a few other docs? Do I need to include our e-mails ( for 3 years), our trip itineraries, and postal receipts received during three years we've been dating. Thanks in advance for your replies!

You don't need it, but it's recommended; especially if you don't know what the initial packet had. If you don't have it or it's going to be difficult to obtain a copy right at this time, don't worry about it.

I suggest you read the embassy reviews of your country to determine what kind of evidence will be good to have for the interview. All the things you mentioned should be fine, but just make sure that's what the embassy wants to see.

Lastly, please complete your profile with your country, type of visa we are talking about and timeline. All this information may not seem relevant, but it actually help us give you more accurate replies.

Hi Celeste and C! Thanks a lot for your reply. I do have my timeline completed and my country is also on here. Aren't they visible? I hope I did not choose the wrong option in the settings...

They weren't visible when you posted earlier, but they are now. Click on the Ukraine flag to reach the embassy portal and have access to embassy reviews and such. You can also visit the regional forums http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/98-russia-ukraine-and-belarus/ to be able to share information with other people who have gone (or are going through) the process through the USEM Ukraine.

I am not going to tell you to leave things at home. Why? If you have it, bring it. Do you need it? Probably not. Bring it

And be SURE you travel with the documents in YOUR control at all times. I brought everything to the interview in a carry-on bag (the WHOLE BAG) and good thing because they lost my suitcases in Paris (as usual for Paris) and I did not get them until a day after the nterview!

I wore the same clothes for two days and had to buy a new toothbrush but I HAD the documents!

Ouch, sounds familiar. I've traveled to the US a few times so far, and there was more than one delay or layover. I always try to have a spare set of pants and shirt with me too! Thanks for the tip though!

Ok, then I will take all I have too. I was just stressing over having too much docs and them potentially not letting me in;) The closer it gets to the interview date, the more panicking i get

Excellent advice! I always travel with any important documents in my carry-on.
