Finally i can post on this thread. I have been reading this thread for a while.. I just found out today that my interview is scheduled for 3rd december INSHAALLAH! At 7 am. I am from karachi so i will be travelling a day before the interview. I have had my Nikkah in 2013 and ruksati is in january inshaAllah. I am a bit scared because of this..but surely they must encounter so many people who do that. I have to be strong with my relationship evidence, and for that i have call logs, pictures, money transfer receipts etc. Also me and my husband know each other since 2005. Our nikkah was also done on a grand scale and i have tonnes of pictures from the event. Anyone with similar experience can shed some more light on this? How to go about it?

Quick answer is No but if you lived in a foreign country for more than 6 months, make sure you have the certificate with you. Edited by 1voice1life

It's for K1 category, don't worry about sending documents to Embassy and Just follow instructions on your P4 letter.

Hi Everyone

My K1 Visa is status has finally changed to ISSUED 7 days after the interview. I am hoping to get my Passport back in a day or two.

I have a little query if someone can help.

Is it necessary to enter the US state where your fiance resides or can you enter a different state?

I am planning to land at Texas first to arrange everything for the wedding before going to Florida where my fiance lives. Will it be a problem if my fiance or her family wont be there at POE to recieve me? Can we change POE without notifying USCIS or will it be a problem for me?

Can anyone here tell what financial documents do they require at the interview? We submitted IRS tax transcripts, pay stubs etc along with i864.
Will i need the same docs again? and what about W2? Since we submitted transcripts, so W2 wasnt required. Please guide me. TIA
