What documents to mail to my fiance???

[1123521 0]

Hi. I've read several places that the petitioner should mail many things that it appears the beneficiary, my fiance, will not need to bring to her interview.

Can someone tell me what the purpose is to mail the copies of I-129F package, supporting evidence of an ongoing relationship, original documents used for the I-129F, a copy of the NOA2, letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance, etc...??

Will the interviewer ask to see these documents and proofs during her interview? I like to do things by the book and I think mailing unnecessary documents and proofs will only cause confusion and clutter if they are not needed for the interview. Can someone tell me if my fiance will need these documents and proofs at some point during the interview? Thanks.

I think 'better to be overprepared than underprepared' might be a better motto when dealing with this stuff... your fiancee may or may not be asked to show evidence of your ongoing relationship (some consulates will definitely ask for this, some might not, but if she's asked if she has any photos, letters etc, and she has none to show them, what then?), but far better to have some proof with her than to have nothing at all. Don't bury the poor woman in heaps of stuff (and there's no reason why she can't get her own evidence together if she has photos, letters etc - it doesn't have to come from you!), but far better to take along everything the CO might conceivably ask for, than for you to try to second-guess them and/or decide for them what they should and shouldn't be asking for!

Nobody can tell you what your fiancee will or won't be asked for for definite... although people who've been through the same consulate can tell you what's likely to happen. I had my interview in London, known for being one of the 'easy' consulates, but I made sure I took plenty of evidence etc, so that I'd have it if asked. Turns out I wasn't asked, but for something this important, why risk not being prepared? It doesn't hurt, does it?

I just sent my packet yesterday. The "step by step" instructions on this site for the K-1 are very helpful. Also, you should visit the "Embassy Reviews" section...there are recent experiences involving the embasssy in RJ(if this is where your fiance will go) After reading, I feel like I know exactly what mine/we will have to deal with when she gets to this stage.

OH and make sure the photos of both of you show the "ears"...this is something I completely missed and will hang your fiance up at the embassy. Luckily mine caught this and made sure hers was correct...I have short hair, so I am in the clear

Hi. Do both of us need to submit passport style photos with both of our ears showing? I was advised that only the beneficiary needs to submit passport style photos with the ears showing. I have already submitted passport style photos to USCIS but I wasn't aware that I'll need to send more. Is this correct? Thanks.

Yup, that's correct - your fiancee won't need to take any passport-style photos of you to her interview, just of herself!
