Could I start gathering documents for the affidavit of support prior to receiving NOA2?

Hello Visa Journey community, this website has been a great resource and I have another question as we wait for NOA2. I believe the following question was asked before but had trouble finding the answer using the search function.

 

1) Could I start gathering documents for the affidavit of support prior to receiving NOA2? Would the embassy accept pay stubs 3 months before the NOA 2 was issued for example? I just want to reduce the processing time through preparation.

 

2) I might as well also ask this. Later down the road, Is there "premium" processing for the employment authorization (I-765) for a K-1 fiance visa applicant? After searching the USCIS website, it does say I-129F but it's not clear as I scan further down.

Thank you so much!

1. Consulates want to see most recent stuff at the interview, so no, I doubt they’d accept pay stubs and I-134 from several months back. 
 

2. Not for K1 AOS applicants. It is available for I-129 which is different from I-129F.

As mentioned, pay stubs, bank statements, bank reference letter, employment verification letter, K1 beneficiary police report, affidavit of single status, letter of intent, etc. need to be fairly recent before sending to your K1 beneficiary for the consulate interview.

A few documents that you can start collecting are like the 3 previous years of tax transcripts from the IRS, property title deeds, etc.

You can look at our Profile for the time table of when I sent the I-134 to my K1 beneficiary.
