My IR-1/CR-1Interview Checklist - Anything to add?

[TheImmigrationOne 0]

Hi all,

 

I've seen a couple of threads regarding the interview checklist for the K1 interview, but nothing much recently on IR1. The K1 checklist makes me a little confused (As it seems like there's more documents such as proof of financial income needed) for that. So here's what I have for ours (interview is next week). Please let me know if anything else is needed. Thank you!

 

• Passport
• Passport (US Style) Photos (x2)

--------------

• Police Report

----------------

• Copy of Spouse's Passport 
• Birth Cert (My Original)
• Original Marriage Certificate 

-----------------

• DS-260 (Confirmation page)

• Completed/Signed I-864EZ (already submitted, bringing a copy of what was submitted)

• Evidence of Income: 2018 Tax Return, copy of 2018 W2 (also have 2019 W2, 2018 Tax Transcript, and letter from employer confirming income just in case)

•  

--------------

• Proof of Medical (?) - do I need this? Medical said they forwarded directly to consulate, this was done about two weeks ago

 

Anything else?

Completing your timeline helps us know how to answer you.
Did you file the petition in the US and process through NVC?

Or does the petitioner live in the UK and filed the petition at the USCIS office in London (DCF filing)

Hello

I am the petitioner and I filed from the US for my UK Spouse. So yes, we filed the petition in the US and it processed through NVC. Thanks

From the London embassy website information https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/family-immigration/how-to-apply-2/

 

Case processed by National Visa Center (NVC)
If your petition was approved by USCIS in the United States and your application was subsequently processed by NVC, they will contact you with your interview appointment date.

You will be required to provide all original documents on the day of the visa interview appointment. For a list of required documents click here. Do not send any documents to the Immigrant Visa Unit before your interview.

 

Unfortunately, the website got changed recently and their links to documents for interview are now broken.  You need to bring all the originals which I think you have included in your list.

• NO to your birth certificate (petitioner) and US passport photocopy.
• NO to proof of medical.
• YES  to the appointment date sent by NVC just to confirm you have an appointment.
• YES to the courier confirmation you printed.
   

Have you registered your interview? The info posted below is found toward the bottom of the link I gave earlier. This link https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/family-immigration/how-to-apply-2/

 

Step 2 - Registering Your Interview

After you have attended your medical examination, you should then register your visa interview through the Visa Appointment Service website at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv and follow these instructions:

• Select “I have received a Consular interview appointment date from the National Visa Center (NVC), Kentucky Consular Center (KCC), or the Consular Section and I have been instructed to register my appointment on this site”;
• Follow the onscreen instructions to register an account;
  • If your family members are applying under your case number, you may “add” applicants to your account after you have added your own details.
• You will be asked to select your delivery method for the return of your passport if your visa application is successful. Delivery to a courier depot is free. If you wish to upgrade to home/office delivery you can pay an additional fee through your account;
• Please go to “Print Instructions” in order to print your courier confirmation page. You must bring this with you on the day of the visa interview.
• You should also bring your appointment letter you received from NVC

Thanks for all the information above, I really appreciate it. 

 

Sorry, I meant I am the petitioner, but the above checklist I listed is for my spouse (beneficiary). So I believe she would need her birth certificate and my US passport copy?

 

Also, just to clarify what you mean by the above I quoted. What is the difference between the courier confirmation and appointment date sent by NVC? Thanks

Yes, I understood that already. It was listed by your passport so I thought you were providing yours.

Beneficiary takes to interview

• Appointment notification/letter/email from NVC
• Passport 
• Passport (US Style) Photos (x2)
• DS-260 (Confirmation page)
• Courier confirmation page
• Birth Cert with parent names on it
