Please VJ members, I just want to know: Does USCIS or NVC returns the CR1 supporting documents back to the Embassy before interviews? Or the beneficiary has to resubmit them to the CO at the interview?

That's a good question Nyala.  I was wondering about the same thing.  Let's hope someone has the answer.  Best of luck on your upcoming interview.  I am hoping the best for you and your spouse.  My husband still has not heard anything from the embassy, though his status is AP.  Last time it was touched was a month ago.

Yes lutz, I'm still waiting for that all-important answer before the day. About your case too we are praying for your husband to be contacted ASAP. It will be OK, it's a matter of time.

All supporting documentation/evidence should have been duplicated or copied, with you keeping your originals (marriage license and birth certificates etc.) and bringing them to the interview. They have been known to ask you for evidence they already have in there possession and expect YOU to have on hand.

They must send it.  I sent a ton of evidence with my original petition.  When my husband went to the embassy they didn't ask him for anything and we were approved.  That was 2 years ago so things may have changed.

When I said they didn't ask my husband for anything I meant no evidence of our relationship.  He to turn over all the documents he got in Morocco.  He had a very tough interview but they didn't ask to see any evidence of our relationship.  That's what makes me think it was sent on by USCIS.

Thank you LHenry for your response to my inquiry, Although my case is reaffirmed case waiting for interview in few days, that is why I'm asking to see if the CR1 reaffirmed cases are treated differently when it comes to the documents to support our relationship. We hope for the best

Yes, they sent everything. I had my interview a few months ago and I could see a 2-inch thick stack of documents through the windows, which included everything we sent to USCIS and then NVC

illidanx Yes that is what I thought, because we are having a CR1 reaffirmed case I was thinking if the USCIS/NVC/ Embassy treat this kind of cases differently. Because it is second interview
