CR-1 Interview Docs

[Zoothie 8]

I was perusing interview instructions on Warsaw's site, and wanted to know what others have brought to theirs for these 2 categories:

 

1. Proof of your U.S. petitioner’s status and domicile in the United States (photocopy of a U.S. passport, naturalization certificate, or lawful permanent resident card).

Okay, so the "status" is simple - a copy of my passport. But do others bring anything for the "domicile" part or is the US Tax Return/Transcript enough?

 

2. Evidence of the relationship between the petitioner and visa applicant. (such as photographs, letters, or emails)

It's been over 1.5 years since I applied for I-130. Do we bring all that stuff AND everything that happened to date since then? As in, financial stuff/photos/etc? What do others bring for this section?

 

Thanks!

I'm not there yet... but. I would bring literally everything you filed with, originals plus copies, and if you have additional subsequent evidence related to domicile (current mortgage statement, DL with matching address, or new lease/job offer, etc if you are resuming domicile), and relationship (new trips, new photos, ticket stubs, etc.) I'll let the folks who have gone through the process chime in here to say what they took, but that's just my thought on it. So what if you have to pay an extra $20 for photocopies, etc., I'd much rather pay that pittance up front than give even the slightest crack for them to give a reason to push back.

Agree with Simplytex.  As is often stated in these forums, it's far better to bring "too much" and not need it than to be caught not having enough.  A little extra expense and compilation up front can save many weeks of repairs.
