Interview prep

[calberry 18]

I'm a US citizen applying for IR5 visas for my mom and dad who recently both got DQ'ed. Is there a recommended thread here or a website with instructions on how to prepare for the interview and what docs my parents should take with them? The following 3 links seem to be saying different things:

 

- This link says "You do not need to bring your Affidavit of Support or financial evidence you submitted to NVC"

- But this link says "For family based applications: The appropriate Form I-864 Affidavit of Support for each financial sponsor along with a photocopy of the sponsor’s IRS transcript or most recent U.S. federal income tax return"

- This comment by @pushbrk also says it's necessary to bring affidavit of support related docs to the interview.

 

I'm both excited and anxious about this interview. My parents are simple, honest, and law abiding and their IR5 application and related docs we submitted are straightforward and legit. If their medical exam and paperwork they take to the interview are acceptable is there a chance they could still be rejected at this stage?

Yes, a bit of a contradiction from the government websites.  Best to error on the side of caution and as @pushbrk mentioned, bring complete copies of the I864 package (including the evidence) to the interview along with the other documents needed to establish familial relationship (birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc.).

 

Good Luck!

Immigrant visa interview applicants are wise to bring their whole file of documents to the interview.  Anything could be asked for.  Bring it all.
