Items for Interview

[cam0803 3]

We are in the process of scheduling the interview with the Consulate for our K-1 Visa. Looking for some clarification please, I'm a little confused. On the guides it says to include the original of every document that was submitted with the I-129F. Fairly simple, however does that also mean for his interview I need to send my fiance my original birth certificate, divorce decree from a previous marriage, and also the actual boarding passes from when I went to visit, or will the copies that are in the original file with the I-129F be enough? Thanks!

I too was unsure of this...... To be safe, I sent it all.....can't hurt right? We are waiting for packet 4 at the moment. How about yup?

We just got confirmation that our case was sent to the Consulate from the NVC. He has printed out all the required forms already and gotten all of our evidence of relationship organized in a binder for easy access by the CO. Just wasn't sure about the originals. From what I understand his Consulate doesn't send out packets, you print all the information off on your own from their site and book the interview online. Apparently that can be done immediately, even if they haven't received what the NVC has sent them, as long as they're showing the case in their system. Very excited and nervous at the same time.

Do not send your original birth certificate. The forms your fiance will fill out and turn in need to have original sigantures, not copies. Make sure he tells them that he needs his birth certificate back if he submits it. They will have the exact fiel that you submitted right there to ask questions from it. Good luck!

Thank you for the information. I get nervous sending original documents that are important like that. Even when I obtained my passport and had to send it in. We've got my original signature on the affidavit of support and he's got all the other documents on his end so he can sign them himself and take to the interview ready to go. All those are originals. Everything additional as evidence of relationship that has occurred since the filing of the I-129F we have made copies of to include as well. Just want to make sure we are fully and properly prepared for an approval.

On your bank statements, did you black out your purchases and just leave visible deposits and balances? I feel a bit uncomfortable for some stranger in an embassy looking over everything I have purchased or where I have chosen to spend my money, but will do it if necessary. We were told to black out anything in emails or chats that was very personal or intimate, to just show consistent communication. That those personal things were ok to black out, so I wonder if the bank statements would be the same?

[JLSBMF 16]

Of course I blacked out lots of stuff on our personal chats but I left the bank statements as is - to me I really did not concern myself with what purchases I made - I simply wanted to show I had enough deposits and funds available to support us - you can however ask you bank for a monthly deposit statement - my bank did not offer that and I could not just print it online they wanted it officially from the bank - it costs me like $45 for one years worth of statements -

Hope that helps -

you need a letter of intent one for you and one for your fiancé, to marry 90 days after arrival in the united states. sign and date.

Blacking out information can lead to more suspicion than leaving the information might.
