Original I-797 and W2's for interview at ISL

[Maham10 106]

Hi everyone,

 

I have my visa interview on the 17th of January. My fiance has just mailed me all the paper work and I noticed that I have the I-797C (NOA2) which is a copy sent by the NVC instead of the original I-797 (NOA2) that the embassy is asking for. Do they ask for the original I-797 (NOA2) or am I okay with a copy?

 

In the financial docs he sent me there are photocopies of W2's. Are they sufficient or should I ask him to send me the original ones as well?

 

Also - do I need to take copies of all docs or will they just see originals and return them (financial)?

 

Will appreciate your input! Thanks!

You should ask your fiance to send you the original i-797 in case they ask you for it. Just to be safe. 

 

Financial documents should include 

Copies of w2 from last three years 

Transcripts of the tax filed with the IRS 

Bank statements last 12 months until now. 

A letter from the bank showing when the account was orginially opened (it's ok if you dont have it but for countries like pakistan it's better safe than sorry) 

Employer letter 

Last 3 to 6 months of pay stubs

Thank you so much! You're always there to help. He's sending me the original notice and W2s. The rest I already have.

What if your company only provides electronic access to W2s? My original copy will just be something I print on my home or office printer.

Our status is "ready" . Where did you get list of things what embassy is asking for? Should we schedule interview or wait for some letter?

If its ready you should go ahead and fill DS-160 and schedule interview. After you will schedule interview you will recieve packet 3 via email from embassy which will have a list of documents you need to bring. You will recieve it within 24 hours.
