What to bring to interview?

[MarysabelYPapito 0]

Hi everyone!

I was just wondering if my husband should bring marriage and birth certificate to the interview in DR? We want to make sure we are prepared. We looked at the embassy page but we are still a little confused or should we just go and get those to be on the safe side?

Thank you In advance!

I took certified copies of all our civil documents, just to be safe. For difficult embassies/consulates like Guayaquil and DR, I think it's a good idea to be over cautious just in case.

Very true. Thank you! We will definitely do that.

We were not asked for any of those documents during our interview. Our checklist indicted that we had already satisfied those requirements. To be safe I also brought them along just in case. Better safe than sorry.

I agree. I would rather have them n not need it then not have it and need it. Thank you!

Hi,

Here is the list of documents which I took to my visa interview in London. I appreciate that I cannot advise you about country specific info but hopefully this list will give you some food for thought.

My documents:

1) My interview letter
2) My passport
3) 3 recent U.S sized passport photos (I got mine from Timpsons, and would recommend them to other UK based VJers as their service is quick and reasonably priced)
4) Printed copies of receipts for AOS and IV bills paid to the NVC
5) Photocopy of my birth certificate (original submitted to NVC)
6) Photocopy of my marriage certificate (original submitted to NVC)
7) Photocopy of my Police Certificate (original submitted to NVC)
8) Copies of my DS-230 parts I and II (submitted to NVC with Pt I signed and Pt II left unsigned)
9) Copies of the I-864 from my husband and my joint sponsor
10) Copy of my husband's 2012 W-2
11) Two most recent statements from our U.S joint account
12) Recent statements from my husband's personal account and for his stocks and shares
13) Recent statements from my UK savings accounts and stocks and shares
14) Receipt of payment from my medical and updated vaccine record provided by Knightsbridge Doctors at my medical
15) The Stubs of my boarding passes for my visits to see my husband in the U.S. (we sent photocopies with our I-130)
16) Copies of the pages in my husband's passport with stamps to show he visited me in the UK
17) Some recent pictures of the most recent time my husband and I saw each other, which were not submitted with our I-130
18) A selection of greeting cards which my husband and I had sent to each other, and also some cards which my in-laws sent to me
19) The checklists for our RFE and with my interview letter

We sent photocopies of each document along with the originals to the NVC, but I made sure I took another set of photocopies to London as there is now, I believe, a $1.00 charge to photocopy any documents if required at the London U.S. embassy. I was not asked about most of these documents, but I felt better knowing that I had them to hand, if requested.

Good luck!

As far as the legal document you should have rec'd a checklist with your pkt4 that states what they have and don't have from you. And what else you should bring with you the day of. I to be on the safe side took a copy of everything from the petition to marriage cert. and ben. BC cause you never know, along with the supporting proof of relationshipe ie: pictures, phone records, etc...

My wife was a simple/standard case, from a low-fraud country. I "front-loaded" the app she brought no additional evidence of bona fide marriage. What your embassy requires may be different. Although most are the same, check with your consulate specifically on their requirements. My wife only brought the following to her interview:

1) Some kind of "new" passport, made just for pending immigrants. I think this is just specific to Korea. Although you probably want to make sure your passport won't expire in 6 months (as they put that i-551 stamp on it).

2) Updated copy of her police certificate (with translation) just in case...although they didn't ask for it.

3) Her medical report (sealed)

4) A "Sunday best clothes", a good night's rest and a smile.
