Interview documents for minor child

[Jegg 15]

Hello to all. We just received a documentarily qualified email today from NVC. Currently waiting for interview schedule. We are expecting a February 2020 interview date. What documents are needed during her interview? (IR2 visa, stepchild relationship). My daughter is 17y/o. 
From what I have read it looks like she needs the following documents;

1. PassporT  (do we need photocopies?)  

2. PSA birth certificate (Beneficiary and Mother) 

3. Marriage certificate of mother and stepdad.  We did ROM our marriage to Philippine.  do we also need to bring PSA marriage cert. or US marriage cert is enough? 
4. NBI clearance, expiration date is July 8, 2020. Do we need to get an updated one?

5. 2x2 pictures

6. Tax transcripts from year 2017-2019?

7. W2s 2017-2019

8. Affidavit of Support, can we just scan with wet signature and have her printed it out?

9. Petitioners proof of domicile. US passport is ok? 

10. My husband is a naturalized US citizen do we need to bring his PSA birth cert. and CENOMAR? 
and lastly; 

Does the petitioner have to be present during the interview? My husband and my daughter have not met in person and just recently started talking on fb chat or messenger. Besides from our marriage certificate what other proof of relationship do we need to bring? 
and do you guys think it’s a good idea to have her father accompany her to her interview? 
Thank you

Gather all documents as listed in the DOCUMENT CHECKLIST  (STEP 5).  You may have provided these documents during the NVC processing but are still required, once more, for the interview process.

Thank you Hank_.  I’m sorry if I wasn’t very clear on my first post. I’d like to clarify that we’re only doing IR2 visa. I’m already here in the US. And you’re right tax 2019 isn’t available yet. I meant to say 2017-2018.

No problem.   Everything is the same in relation to the IR-2

 

And tax transcript is still - the most recent return (2018)

 

Do follow the 5 Steps.  STEP 5 is the documents requirements.
