Hi Friends,

So I just paid the IV fee a couple of hours ago. I am now preparing the IV package. I have all the documents (Marriage and birth certificates, copy of passport, etc.).

My question: Do I also have to include evidence of relationship with my wife in the package? Or is this something we need to provide at the interview?

Thanks for your help!

It's optional, but if you think it could at all help strengthen your case (for example, if your country is a high fraud one), stick it in there! It can't hurt, that's for sure. :)

A while ago I read a post where someone said they had a huge stack of evidence and sent it to NVC to save money on shipping instead of mailing it to the beneficiary's country for the spouse to carry to the interview! :thumbs: Let NVC pay to mail it to the embassy

The CO at the interview is more likely to go through your file from NVC before your interview than ask you to present evidence if they already made up their mind. So make copies of those supporting evidence send one set to NVC with your IV package( this is called 'front loading' by VJ members) and send the other set to your spouse. It is particularly help for embassies considered as high fraud known for being tough before issuing visas.

GOD has been WONDERFUL!!!

you don't have to, but it's nice to do.

Why? It's been at least 6 months since you submitted the first pile with the I-130,

and you've had 6 months to generate more evidence and

anything put in at NVC, the Vice Consuls review prior to Interview Day.

IMO, Interview Day is the wrong time to bring it all in, as the Vice Consul can only allocate anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes to review yer stuff during the visa interview on interview day.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !
