Good morning (of afternoon or night depending on where you are).

I'm sure this has been answered to death but I just want to be sure. My wife (has CR1 visa) and her mother (has IR1 visa) will be entering the US together in a matter of weeks.

  1. Is there anything at all that either one should bring besides their respective visa (within the passport book) and sealed packet? My wife's application was done electronically - I don't think that makes a difference right?
  2. Another very similar question: does the packet include all the papers that were submitted from the start of the process to the end of the process, even if everything was submitted electronically?

Thanks a ton.

Best wishes,

Justin

They may also want to bring:

1. 1-2 copies of their birth certificate.

2. Any medical forms, documents, X-Ray/MRI history (if applicable).

3. Any I.D.s they may have acquired.

4. Any legal documents.

Can anyone confirm these things are required and if so are they certified copies or photocopies? Is this a guess or from actual experience?

For the POE you only need the seal packet, your passport with the visa.

I think what the other poster met by bringing copies of other stuff such as birth certificate is in case you need it once you are in the USA for some reason

However it is not needed for the POE
