CFO Valid IDs

[NeonParticles 126]

CR1 Spousal Visa, got interview letter today for May 23rd.

 

Just preparing valid IDs for each step of the process in advance.  The main issue is that we recently changed her name to her married name on her passport, so I'm concerned that her previous IDs will no longer be considered valid for the CFO.  We just want to make sure to have all our ducks in a row early on so this doesn't hold us up.

 

I'm having a very difficult time determining what they consider to be a 'valid photo ID', how many of them they require, etc.  The CFO site does not clarify what IDs they accept, only that they need "two valid IDs ASIDE from the valid passport".  I've read conflicting reports from users here. We currently have the updated passport and the NBI clearance.  I've read that this is all you need from multiple users, but they're all from about a decade ago.  Her other IDs are all in her maiden name, and I'm unsure of their validity now.

 

 

Does anyone have clarity on if the passport + NBI clearance will be enough to complete the CFO, or if my wife will need to rush to update a bunch of IDs she'll probably never use again...

Her other ID's being in her maiden name is not a problem.  CFO would automatically understand the difference between married and maiden name and would not expect ID's to be updated.

I don’t know  if service centers talk to each other. 
 

Is your step daughter under age 21?

 

Are you a U.S. citizen?

My wife just started seeing a Dr. for some depression after the birth of our kid.  The Dr. said she might be bipolar.  She just started seeing the Dr. so they cant officially diagnose her yet.

I want to know what I need to keep track of now, so I don't miss anything.

 

What documents and paperwork will I need?

Anything I need to be careful about for the medical exam?

Did your wife need CFO to change her name on her passport. My wife did.

No, we just used the marriage certificate and changed the name.  When did your wife have to? I'm a little confused about the order of how things happen here.

Ok, its been a while since my wife got her passport with her married name. Just take the old IDs with her and she will be OK. She will have the marriage docs. You can always send CFO an email and they will answer within a week.
