Does the I-134 and supporting documents for a K-1 get sent to the NVC or brought to the embassy during the interview

[Beth Moskov 25]

Greetings all! 

 

We are having some confusion over where to submit our documents. We received an email from the US consulate in Algeria where my fiance is from that they have received our file from the NVC. They sent us a list of documents we need to organized (straight forward) included the affidavit of support and all the supporting documents. While the letter says to not send anything to the embassy after submitting our I-160, it says bring supporting documents to the interview. We were just informed by a lawyer that after submitting the I-160 we should actually submit the receipt from that along with our supporting documents to the NVC and then wait another 2-3 months for the NVC to send these documents to the consulate and then we can set up the interview. There is such mixed guidance on this we are confused about what to do as well as heart broken that the NVC and their timeline needs to be involved again. Does anyone have any advice or guidance about this? Thank you so much for your help! Cheers

I don't think your attorney knows the difference between a K-1 and a CR-1.  You send NOTHING to NVC for a K-1.  FIRE THAT ATTORNEY!!!

 

The I-134 and supporting documents should be taken to the interview.

In general, the I-134 is completed by the petitioner and sent to the beneficiary.

The beneficiary takes the required forms listed by the embassy, including I-134 and supporting documents to the interview.

Since the interview process is specific to each consulate/embassy, best to pose the questions in the right regional forum.

Thank you so much very helpful. Nowhere in the instructions from the embassy did they mention the NBC so our lawyer was really confusing us.
