Check list review: To send my fiance for her interview

[Palmer 12]

Please make comments or suggestions:

These are the items I am sending my fiance to bring with her to her interview:

1) Copy of the I-129f

2) Copies of the NOA1 and NOA2

3) New (original) letter of intent to marry

4) I-134 along with copies of bank statements, retirement fund statements, trading account statements.

5) Recent pay stubs and a 'letter from the boss' stating I do work where I do.

6) Proof of ongoing relationship: emails, Facebook, etc.

7) Tax filings from 2011 and 2012. Embassy needs thre copies of each.

Anything else???

Questions:

I'm sending her my tax filings from 2011 and 2012. I had the local IRS office print my transcripts and W-2's for both years. Are transcripts acceptable or the actual filing forms that were sent to the IRS needed?

Also, I'm sending bank account statements, stock trading account statements, and retirement account statements along with the I-134. Is it okay if I black out the account #'s on all of these? I'm a little leery throwing all this out there.

Thanks

Should be OK to black out account numbers. Check your embassy website. There you will find out particulars to that embassy. Most will have their own check sheet. Looks like you have most every thing I sent. Ukraine embassy wanted copies of our Skype logs. They wanted to see that we could communicate together.

1) Copy of the I-129f If you are talking about the form itself, completely unnecessary; if you are talking about the evidence items you sent when you initially filed, good.

2) Copies of the NOA1 and NOA2 Useless fluff items, the NOA1 is nothing more than a receipt notice of the petition and the NOA2 is the decision notice, an interview would not be taking place had the petition not been approved.

3) New (original) letter of intent to marry

4) I-134 along with copies of bank statements, retirement fund statements, trading account statements.

5) Recent pay stubs and a 'letter from the boss' stating I do work where I do.

6) Proof of ongoing relationship: emails, Facebook, etc.

Transcripts are fine, and if you submit transcripts, you don't need the W-2 forms.

Also, I'm sending bank account statements, stock trading account statements, and retirement account statements along with the I-134. Is it okay if I black out the account #'s on all of these? I'm a little leery throwing all this out there.

I don't really know the rules on whether or not it's acceptable to redact account numbers but I look at this way, if the Government really wants to find out, they have ways of finding out.

The I-129f is the copy of the complete application package that was initially sent in. I gave her that when I was in Colombia this past April.

Exactly same list I sent as well...

You have more than enough right there! They won't ask for your petition forms again, or any evidence of relationship if you sent in pretty stable evidence with your petition.

Transcripts are fine, they may only need your 2012 one, but have recent years in case.

The only forms I handed in were tax returns, I-134's and then my birth and police cert.

Although, can't hurt to be prepared. I had a ridiculous amount with me to make sure. We do, however, have a son together, so maybe they were a little more lenient!

Good luck!!

One should always bring copious amounts of "bona fide relationship" evidence to any interview at a Latin American consulate.

Hi..

I am preparing docs for the interview in embassy Indonesia too. Im using co-sponsor. My lawyer sent everything about financial docs (sponsor and co-sponsor), but for letter of employment co-sponsor and letter of bank my attorney gave the copies. My co-sponsor doesnt get the original from his company and bank. My co-sponsor got by fax and he sent to the attorney by email. My co-sponsor is self employee.

Thank you
