I-134 and Post-NOA2 Checklist

[banshee 0]

Hello!

So I received my NOA2 on January 17th, and am now waiting on the NVC to send me their notice.

In the meantime, I am trying to gather up all the remaining documents I need to send to my fiance before his interview -- am I missing anything below? Does anyone know of any additional documents that I should also send? I want to send everything FedEx in one batch.

* I-134 Form

* Letter from employer on business letterhead including type of employment, salary, and date of hire

* Letter from bank on bank letterhead stating present balance, date account opened, and amount of deposits into account for 2013

* Copy of I-797 NOA2

* Letter re-affirming my desire to marry my fiance with original signature

Is there anything else he will need or that will help him for his interview? I hope I will get a letter from the NVC soon! =) Thank you in advance for your help.

This is from the guides above, http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

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). Your fiance(e) should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this as well).

2.Send copies of the documentary proof that you submitted with the I-129F for your fiance(e) to have on hand for their interview at the embassy. Your fiance(e) should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this as well).

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 signed, 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 need several items (for the above form). Gather duplicate evidence of income and resources as appropriate:

(A) Statement from an officer of the bank/financial institution with your deposits, identifying the following: 1. date account opened; 2. total amount deposited for the past year; 3. present balance
(B) Statement(s) from your employer on business stationary showing: 1. Date and nature of employment; 2. salary paid; 3. whether position is temporary or permanent (also include copies of your last two pay stubs and your previous W-2 for the associated employer if available)
© If Self Employed: 1. Copy of last income tax return filed (or IRS transcripts); or 2. report of commercial rating concern
(D) List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s).

Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. See this FAQ for more tips and useful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

6.A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail. (backup information; the embassy will have copies of this as well)

7.Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, online chat logs (pick several over the prior few months), etc.. from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 until date-now).

Examples: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate emails and letters you have sent including the stamps on envelopes (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!)

Even if the CO does not ask for it, at least you will have it anyway. Take everything on that list above. And good luck!

Tax records for the past year at least and maybe for the past 3 years. Either an IRS transcript (preferred) or the entire tax return package that was sent to IRS including W2, all the forms, all the schedules, etc. You can scan this and have your fiancee print it out though (you can now get the tax transcripts in electronic form from IRS site and have your fiancee print it out).

Proof of relationship, but this might be something that your fiancee has or can print out.
