newbie needing answers :)

[kara&mati 33]

Hello,

I am new to all of this, and had some questions that maybe some of you can answer that have been through this. i am getting ready to send the petition to have my fiancé come to the US from Argentina on the k1 visa. I have been reading all of the topic questions and its still unclear to me what all needs to be sent in the packet. here are some of my questions:

1. Do I need to send the affidavit of support now? or just to the interview?

2. Do I need to send the G325A form now? or just to the interview?

3. When the first packet gets sent to my fiancé with the check list, will they still approve it and set the interview with missing documents? like police report and Medical? (he will have them ready for the interview)

4. Does anyone know about est. time from check list sent to embassy from my fiancé till the interview? (i read its about a month or so, from him sending the check list till the actual interview)

He is abroad right now and can not get the police report and medical until he returns home for the interview.

Thank you for your help

For the interview only.

2. Do I need to send the G325A form now? or just to the interview?

Yes, one each, completed and signed by both of you.

3. When the first packet gets sent to my fiancé with the check list, will they still approve it and set the interview with missing documents? like police report and Medical? (he will have them ready for the interview)

Police report and medical are not needed in the initial package, but will be completed before the interview. The embassy will let you know.

4. Does anyone know about est. time from check list sent to embassy from my fiancé till the interview? (i read its about a month or so, from him sending the check list till the actual interview)

Depends on the embassy.

He is abroad right now and can not get the police report and medical until he returns home for the interview.

Thank you for your help

No need , but thats optional, most just send it near the interview time

2. Do I need to send the G325A form now? or just to the interview?

all g325a go with the initial petition , yes

3. When the first packet gets sent to my fiancé with the check list, will they still approve it and set the interview with missing documents? like police report and Medical? (he will have them ready for the interview)

yes

4. Does anyone know about est. time from check list sent to embassy from my fiancé till the interview? (i read its about a month or so, from him sending the check list till the actual interview)

think it depends on the country/mbassy

He is abroad right now and can not get the police report and medical until he returns home for the interview.

Thank you for your help

After the Embassy gets package 3 from your fiance, it'll take 10 business days for them to email you the interview date, which in my case was 1 week after the email.

Does anyone know how "critical" is the name on back of picture? We have labeled the envelopes but not the pic directly? Should we expect an automatic RFE? Should we jump in front of it and send marked photos now or can that delay the process?

Thanks

It may be ok, or they may be picky and you'll get an RFE. In any case, the best thing to do is wait. Documents sent without RFE are unlikely to the matched with the original package in time.
