I know they are not exactly necessary, but I am thinking of bringing a few extra to the interview.

Would it really matter that much if I just printed some photos on normal A4 paper?

Other than that I am good to go hopefully.

I have all my documents, birth certificate, police check thing, medical results, and the affidavit of support with a bunch of evidence for that.

I don't have any pictures yet, or proof of flights other than old emails, but my thinking is that the i-129f was when we should have submitted our "proof of relationship", and they would have sent out an RFE if they needed more. Am I right in thinking the interview is just to make sure that the finances are in order, you wont be a public charge, and an opportunity to physically talk about the relationship.

I am sorry, but it is 5 days until my interview, I am not really nervous, as the one thing I am confident about is our relationships validity :) I just don't want to get tripped up by not dotting the i, or crossing the t.

Thanks,

Chris

I wasn't asked for photos, but took a few just in case. I don't think you will need any, but if they make you feel more confident you may as well.

As long as you take 1 US-Sized Passport Photo (and if you'd read my "Interview Day" part of the K-1 guide, you'd have known that) whether you get it at a photo booth in a supermarket, at Gould's just before your interview or printed out yourself then you will be fine.

Read the "Interview Day" section of the guide. Post 5. And read the nice, detailed review I linked inside it. Just ignore the section on portable electronics as you can now take those in.

You people worry too much ... content ... not quality gets it done. Use your photo printer, that's what it's for.

Take your attitude elsewhere.

Thanks Wheatley and Stevensane, your advice is very much appreciated.

I have read the section a few times it has been extremely helpful, sometimes people (like myself) just need to get an answer to their little questions to calm the mind, even if they have been answered before in a different way.

Will be sure to leave an extensive review of my interview to help future filers.

It's fine, no worries.

I remember taking the entire sheet of 4 I got from Sainsbury's (as you used to have to have 2 in the old days where they'd put one on your file, and one on the visa itself) and being told by the gent at the window you only need 1 now as they scan them in. No harm in being prepared. I'm an ex-Scout leader (and will take that back up when I have a driving licence here in RI) and of course the Scout motto is "Be Prepared". tongue.png

So it's up to you how you do it, but as long as you have them you'll be alright. As myself and Nich have said - London wants to approve you, unlike say Lagos where they're looking for reasons to deny you.

I completely agree. I am the same.
