I130 NOA and i797 needed for interview?

[n.samuraibear 20]

Hello VJ members,

Every day a new doubt comes up and we want to be as prepared as possible. The i130 NOA1 and i797 approval original notices which came in the mail are in the US with my spouse. Will I need the originals while going to the embassy for my interview? I'm trying to figure it out so that they can be fedexed to me in time. Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply my friend. My question is more specific and to anyone who has already attended interviews. These notices are uscis notices and not proof of marriage.

 

So if anyone has had them ask to show the original i130 NOA1 and i797 please let me know if they're necessary to bring to the interview

Correct answer is no, you are not required to have original notices from USCIS.

Replying to myself for any reader.  The NOA2 original notice in a K1 visa case....IS....needed, not for the interview, but to adjust status after marriage.
