I-864 Documents needed for interview?

[FutureAmerican 2]

Hi all,

With my interview coming up in a couple of weeks, I wanted to check something regarding the documents required...

In the checklist, it says I need the follow:

-Passport (yep!)

- Form DS-230 Part 2 (yep!)

- Birth Certificate, "Long Form" (I think I have this - it's A4 Size, lists parents etc, and I have a smaller one which is about half the size and just lists me, so I'll bring both + copies).

- Marriage Certificate (I have a certified copy obtained from the Church, as our original one has disappeared - I'll bring this plus copies)

- Police Certificate (got this a couple of weeks ago)

- Photographs (Need to get some more, luckily there's a shop in town I can go and get them done at)

- Evidence of Support (Now here's the BIG question! It says "If the immigrant visa petition that was filed on your behalf was filed in the US and the petitioner was requested to submit an Affidavet of Support, form I-864, to the National Visa Cneter in New Hampshire, you will not be required to obtain a new one." Does this mean that I won't have to bring along tax returns etc, as I submitted copies of those to the NVC, for both my wife and Father-in-law who is acting as a co-sponsor? I'm just worried I may need to get originals, even though it doesn't indicate that I will).

Apologies for double posting this in here as well as the Foreigh Consulate Section...I just really want to check this in case we have to order transcripts from the IRS which could take a couple of weeks and would be cutting it fine...

Any advice is more than welcome!

I know it says on the instructions you do not have to bring another affidavit if it was already sent but maybe it is good to have a copy with you together with a copy of the tax returns just in case

and Good luck at the interview ...it's coming soon

You don't need to take I-864, if it is submitted at the NVC. But you may keep the photocopies as your records.
