Question regarding K1 visa interview checklists

 Share

5 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I am just wondering whether my fiance needs to bring all the items that were submitted to USCIS as part of initial I-129 F package. I sent everything to my lawyer when we started the k1 visa process and I am afraid that I did not make a second copy of all chat logs, emails, facebook posts for my fiance to carry during her interview.  I have a copy of all flight itineraries and some pictures of our previous 2 trips. I am going to meet her before her interview. Do I need to carry all items with me that were sent earlier for I-129 F package or should it be only the items covering the upcoming trip. I am bit confused and feel kind of stupid to ask my lawyer :/. Any help will be appreciated.

You guys may have received a check list of things needed on the interview date. You dont need everything but there is certainly a few things to take. Take a look

I am one of those people who worry about everything  (and my fiance/husband is Algerian). I had given him a copy of the 129f  (just in case they asked some random question from the application) and took a copy to the interview (a little overkill). I also took some viber logs, whatsapp chats (chose one chat a month talking about something relevant or important) that we had from the time of filing until the time of interview. I had visited my fiance in Algeria after filling the 129f.......so I also took proof of those visits. You will also need to submit an updated "intent to marry". 

Your attorney will have kept a copy of everything.......the attorney works for you. You need not feel embarrassed asking for a copy of anything from your attorney.

You should receive a list of exactly what they need for your specific case at the interview. In our case, our NOA2 from the K1 (the letter stating our case was approved and accepted to be transferred abroad) had "expired". We freaked out about this thinking we'd have to start over but we were just told to bring an updated/current letter of intent to marry from the USC for her interview and that's all we needed and we didn't have any problems.
