Mailing Versus Bringing Papers to the Interview

[Karam and Jamie 44]

My fiance will mail copies of his police report, birth certificate and passport to the Embassy as well as 2 passport photos and the confirmation letter he printed for the DS-160 application online.

Can he just take my I-134 forms and supporting evidence with him to the interview instead of mailing them since I had no idea the forms had to be notarized and I just did this yesterday and mailed them to him?

Do they want them mailed in advance or brought to the interview? That really controls what you do. And if they want them mailed, mail them 30 days in advance. Embassy mail rooms are horendously slow at filing incoming mail into the proper files.

[Karam and Jamie 44]

Please prepare the following documents for each person applying for a visa and send them to our office via DHL courier service:

1. Photocopy of passport (the original to be submitted on the appointment date)

2. Photocopy of birth certificate

3. A copy of your divorce certificate (If previously married and divorced)

4. Police certificate from your country of nationality if you are 16 years old or older

5. Police certificate if you lived in a different country for more than 12 months and you were 16 years or older at that time.

6. An Affidavit of Support (Form I-134) signed by the Petitioner and notarized before either a notary public in the U.S. or a consular officer at the embassy (this can be done on the day of your appointment).

7. Petitioner’s most recent year of federal income taxes (form 1040 only). Please also bring the most recent W2 form and a job letter indicating current salary and length of employment

8. Medical exam for applicantas attached,medical examination report should be submitted on the day of the visa interview. Applicants are advised to schedule their medical examination3weeks prior to the date of their visa interview.

9. Applications: DS-160 application online application form:https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/, please print the confirmation page and send it along with the documents.

Then I suggest you do as they ask. Gather those things together and DHL them over there.

Notice that they asked for the med on the day of the interview and advised you to do the med at least 3 weeks in advance.

The affidavit of support can be on the day of appointment

The fee gets paid on the appointment date

The rest goes by DHL.

I have no advance knowledge of any of this. Just reading what you posted here.

[Karam and Jamie 44]

Ok, thank you. I wasn't sure if the 1040's could also go on the day of interview but I'd rather send it by DHL too just in case.
