Hi, y'all:

So in going over the things needed for my fiancé to take to the interview, we keep seeing mention of the 'Invitation Letter' with his interview date that he should have received. However, he's gotten no such thing -- all he's gotten is a packet with a letter indicating what embassy he's meant to be scheduling with (London), a copy of the original I-129f, and a notice about his rights re: domestic violence.

Is that the invitation letter??

We scheduled online (as I believe is correct nowadays), so he's got the printed out 'ready' screen shot from DoS, the AIS online scheduling system confirmation page, and the receipt for paying the visa & courier fees.

If that other thing is not the invitation letter, will all this be enough/OK?

There is no invitation letter from London and it's not on their list of documents to bring. The online confirmations of booking his appointment, paying for the visa, and submitting the DS-160 should be taken.

Thanks -- I think I must have been reading something else and gotten confused, then. Or we got it from the US Embassy's video? Either way -- great. Thanks, @Nich-Nick, as ever! :)
