CRBA Questions - U.S. and Australia

[fadetoj 3]

I'm a U.S. Citizen and my fiancee is Australian.  She'll be having her K1 interview in a month or two.  We have two daughters who were born in Australia - ages 3 & 4.

 

I won't be able to attend their interviews so I'm filling out the DS-5507.  I've only visited Australia and have always lived in the U.S.  For the part - "That I have been physically present or have had a residence in the United States as follows:"  Should I just put from birth til present and list the cities I have lived in?

 

I'm planning to send my birth certificate (from vitalchek), w2's, tax returns, pay stubs, lease agreement...will this be sufficient evidence?

 

And last question:  "Part II of this document must be signed before a Consular Officer, Passport Specialist, or Designated Consular/Acceptance Agent at the time the oath is sworn"

 

Would any local or online notary work or do I need to go to a passport office or something?

 

Thanks.

The US embassy in Australia website has a list of "preferable" and "acceptable" documents here -- https://au.usembassy.gov/crba-info/#docs

 

Best to get as many documents on the "preferable" list as you can.

Do I need to pay for the certified ones or is the free one okay?

Start with the free ones

Will do. Here is my list of everything I have to send off to my partner:

 

Notarized DS-5507

Notarized DS-3053

Evidence of U.S. Citizenship

 

From my understanding is that I don't need to fill out or do anything with DS-2029 as my partner will fill out and attach my DS-5507 to that. Am I correct in everything needed?
