Visa Interview, what to bring?

My fiance is going for her interview on the 5th of August. On the forms she's received it mentions for her to bring all original documents. We've also come across some threads on this site saying to bring a copy of the full package that was originally sent for the i-129f as well as a copy of our co-sponsor's birth certificate/passport.

Is there anyone who's been through the process already with the london embassy that can confirm which of these documents are actually required? It's a bit late in the game for me to have to produce more paperwork for her, she may need to print them herself and we just are curious about what is necessary because for her to print these off it can get very costly, and for me to mail them at this point i'm worried that they'll get to her in time if at all (i've had some things get lost in transit and now is not the time for that to be happening).

thanks in advance for any help. sorry if any of my questions have already been answered elsewhere.

Welcome to the forum.

Good luck on your visa journey.

Have you read the reviews from London for K1 applicants? That'll give you a really good measure of what to expect...

http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=United+Kingdom&cty=&dfilter=5&topic=K1+Visa

Also, if you have not already read it, there is a thread dedicated to K1s going to interview in London here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/

(For what it's worth - she should only need the items on the document list from the embassy - your I129f package will have been sent to the embassy from the NVC, so they should already have everything you sent then)

I took everything I had, including a copy of the original packet submitted by my wife. Didn't need it, nor did I need any evidence o relationship, but better to be safe than sorry if you ask me.
