Interview related questions? Signed I-864EZ necessary? (Stockholm embassy)

[fiskefillet 1]

hi everyone

have my interview at Stockholm embassy next week, therefore have a few questions regarding to the documents:

- if my birth certificate  I submitted to the CEAC was accepted , will it automatically be accepted at the interview, or could they have different opinion on whether its the correct one? (I am born in belgium but submitted my "danish" birth certificate which was accepted)

- does the I-864EZ need (signed by my US spouse) need to be the original signed, or is the printed version sufficient? It will be difficult to have the signed version in time for the interview.

- "supporting financial docuemnts" - does this mean I am safest to bring all the tax papers submitted to the CEAC online? there are many

Finally: how long do embassies take to send the passport? I live in Denmark but have my interview in Sweden, so considering if I am safe to book a ticket to the US 10 days after my interview or if that is a risk.

Never ever book a plane ticket that isn't refundable before having the actual visa in hand. Anything can happen, they might request more documents from you after the interview that will delay things, maybe your medical doesn't reach the embassy on time etc. Could be anything. So no, it's not safe to book a plane ticket before having the actual visa in hand.

If you can't get a wet signed affidavit of support then take a scanned copy of a signed one.  Bring copies of the same supporting documents your petitioner sent to NVC and the originals of any civil documents, in case they want to inspect them.

 

No it is NOT safe to buy ANY ticket to the US until the visa is in hand.  The new immigrant fee should also be paid before you travel.

Okay thanks for the replies.

We submitted some supporting documents that were listed as optional, such as 1040's from 2016 and 2017 that are respectively 28 pages and 146 pages long. I suppose these are not necessary to print out and bring? Especially the latter. I will bring all the tax returns from all three years.
