USC Birth Certificate

[mercy 1]

I was just reading over the Vancouver checklist, which is a little different from the Montreal one. It says I need a birth certificate for each person named in the application. Is that just me, or does that include my fiance(the USC)? I know we submitted a copy of his in the original petition, does that mean I should have the original with me at the interview? Will they ask for it, anyone who went through Vancouver have this happen? I've got my long form BC already, but I really don't want to get there without his and find that I need it.

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one). (includes US Citizen birth certificate)
   
2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.
   
3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).
   
4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is notarized (by a US Notary Public), with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.
   
5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.
   
6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.
   
7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).
   

Examples: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

Yes bring it but they don't ask for it.

I didn't bring it and they didn't ask for it. They wanted my birth certificate, and of the woman who was there with kids, they wanted the B.C.'s of the children. Of course, it didn't even occur to me to bring the USC's b.c. because my interpretation of applicants named on the form is the beneficiaries. If it is easy enough for you to have the birth certificate of the USC with you, and feel prepared!

Thanks hockeygal and whatchatalkinboutwillis, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I'm familiar with the guides here, but I wanted some consular specific info
