Hi, 

 

Can someone please point me in the direction where I might find a full and detailed list of paperwork and documents required for the embassy interview once the NOA2 has been received.   It will be in London.

 

I want to be prepared and not have any unexpected surprises which could slow down the process.

 

Many thanks in advance

 

Claire

Also, please note this concerning police certificates for other countries:

" Required for all countries where you have lived for more than 6 months since the age of 16 and any country where you have been arrested, even if you were not resident there.  U.S. police certificates are not required.  Police certificates from certain countries are unavailable or are obtained directly by this office.  Fingerprints are required for certain countries. A list of UK police stations who can provide fingerprinting services is available from the Embassy website, here. (PDF – 337kb) Foreign police certificates are valid indefinitely, unless you have returned to reside in that country or has been arrested since the issuance of the certificate;

You need to read what London's instructions are to K1s. It's basically what people call "packet 3", a term left over from when you actually got a large packet of paper forms in the mail. Now it's online instructions only.

Scroll down until you find Step 1, Step 2...

https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/applying-for-the-visa/

 

Then go back to,the top and read all those other topics listed as well as the FAQs in the right column.

 

There is a UK specific forum where you can ask London questions. I don't know if you are aware, but each country has slightly different methods, so what you read in the K1 forum from another country may not be the London model. UK FORUM http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/99-united-kingdom/

(Ignore the pinned threads. Much has changed in the procedure and links provided.)
