Tricked,

Do you have your US Passport photo? It is not written in your list but I believe the recent update is that you need 1 US Passport style photo for the interview.

You won't need the copies of your I-129f or your NOA1/NOA2, they have all that already, but if it makes you feel better prepared and you don't mind taking it with you then go for it.

Knew I forgot to list something. I have about 10 they can choose from haha.

And yes will update. 2 others are there at the same time as well.

I'm on the tube currently, flight was delayed, so wanting my hotel badly :(

Hello! I've got a question about evidence for the i-134 for a K1 interview. Because I've been living abroad for 6 years and will be moving home unemployed, my mom has agreed to be our co-sponsor. Can anyone who has been through the interview suggest how many 'pieces' of evidence from her would be sufficient? She has a copy of her most recent tax return, and will also be providing 6 months of pay stubs...would that be enough? Thanks in advance!

That's so great you all met and celebrated! Congratulations to you all :). When I was sat in the waiting room I did wonder how many people from VJ were in the room that I didn't know about :P

Thanks Kat&Jon and Shana!! ? Haven't stopped smiling yet!

It made the waiting room process marginally less nerve wracking having tricked and slimbolina there! Although holding a conversation when every time the board pings up a new number everyone looks up at the screen was quite distracting!

Good luck to everyone still waiting to get to this stage of their journey and Booyah to all the UK filers who are post interview and already in the states or on the countdown to being there!
