Anything I'm missing?

Afternoon everybody,

I have my interview date on Friday 9th May at London.

I have read the Guide for London and Document Checklist on the Embassy website (several times, daily) and I think I have everything, but I'm just looking for reassurances I guess...

So I have:

- interview letter

- ds 160 form confirmation page

- i134 form (with employer letter, tax returns, 3 payslips, bank statement)

- birth certificate

- police certificate

- US visa photos

- passport

- old passport (just in case)

- NOA 1 & 2

- 10 photos of us together (I know London don't ask for this but I like to be prepared)

- Save the Date Card (May not take it)

- MrV visa fee confirmation page

- G325a form (There was a mistake on the original)

- never been married so any of those forms are N/A

- rejection letter by USCIS for form I-129 (petition before a L1B visa, not I-129f for K1 visa)

Anything I'm missing? Do I have everything to take down to London with me?

Thanks for your help. It is greatly apprciated

I have my interview on Tuesday 6th at London. Looking at your list, you reminded me of the DS-160 confirmation page so thank you for that!

Otherwise you have everything else I've gotten together, i am literally taking everything i have though including the whole i-129f package

No need for it i know, just being #######

I've just made a copy of everything, basically don't give up your only copy of something unless you aren't bothered about getting it back

Don't lose that NOA2. It should have stayed in the USA. It is NOT for the visa interview. A photocopy of it goes in the AOS application.

The NOA2 is a copy. My fiance brought the original with her too just in case UK immigration questioned her further about her visit she could show we are in process of moving there.

The I-134 and supporting documents are already copies. Do I need to take two sets?

Thanks folks!

I forgot about the NOA2. Printed it off just now (& the NOA1 for good measure)

Now I'd love to say I'll be able to relax for a few days before Friday, but I doubt that's possible. Haha

Think you have it all!

Can anyone confirm what needs to be photocopied?

Is it just

birth certificate

Police cert

NOA2

Anything else?

If you forget to photocopy something, they can do it for you apparently. Costs you $1 per document, but it's not the end of the world

Nobody has EVER had to show their NOA2 at an interview in London. Just sayin' so the rest who read your post won't go into hysteria to get theirs.

I know! I'm going to use the excuse that my parents asked me to set up their new wireless printer so as a test I would print that off...does that pass? ;)

You can take anything that makes you comfortable. Anything is a pass. :P

....except a weapon misc-emoticon-0007.gif

I was just adding that so the next bloke doesn't post "OH NO HHELLLPPPP!!! My interview is soon and I don't have that." Then they spend $60 to get it overnighted to them. I think the months in the K1 forums whip you into a frenzy. Then you find out London is easy peasy when you finally get there.

No of course, you raised an excellent point regarding the NOA2.

They sure do! But also provide such a magnitude of information.

I hope your right on it being easy peasy (I'm the 1 going for the interview) and I think my worry is draining my fiancé down. I try to not worry, but I think I was born a worrier...

I'm just praying that it all goes well on Friday.

You'll be fine, i had my interview today and all went well :), it wasn't anywhere near as scary as i thought it'd be!

Likewise for me, I'm sure you'll be fine on Friday! Very easy experience today, I even forgot to print off the courier page (with two barcodes) but was fine. Must have had a lenient interviewer!

Courier page with two barcodes?

I was told the only item with barcodes was the DS 160. Can you elaborate on what you mean by courier page?
