Which divorce documents to bring to interview

[mico1989Athens 0]

Folks... We finally had our interview date. I hope everyone here gets to the end of this process soon.

 

I am trying to learn if it is okay to bring SAME divorce documents that we submitted to NVC and USCIS during the process?

 

Since they ask for originals of every document, is it okay if I print what we uploaded to NVC?

Or do they want this in a closed envelope from my state?

For applicant divorce decrees, the original "certified copy" is required.  For the petitioner a copy of a certified copy is ok.  Note that scan, email, and print, is the same as a "photocopy".

hi pushbrk, thank you,

 

my spouse (beneficiary) needs to bring originals of HER documents.

i think i am(US citizen) is the petitioner and if i scan(photocopy) my documents (certified divorce, financial etc) and send it to my wife, it will be fine right?

 

i mean, if we scan, email and print my(petitioner) documents, it will be fine.

 

just wanted to confirm.

Correct.  There is no practical difference between a photocopy and a scanned, emailed, and locally printed document.  That's because a "photocopier" simply scans and prints as a single function, instead of two functions in two locations the other way.

hi again and thank you for reply.

one other document they asked us to bring is I864 affidavit of support which I filled for my spouse and uploaded to NVC portal.

 

Do I simply download it and print it to bring to interview? I don't have a hard copy of it (I previously printed, signed and scaned to upload)

Is it okay if we just download what is in CEAC and bring it to interview?

If you can, yes.  Where is the document you scanned.  Where is the PDF you printed before your signed and scanned?  Did you lose those?

thank you for reply, just to clarify: do you also suggest I should refile I864 and upload it to NVC before interview?

It seems like they just updated the form. 

 

I will need to fill it with a new date and mail to my spouse, but I'm wondering if it is mandatory.

 

Thanks to all suggestions from other members.

Unless there is something to update on your affidavit of support, no need.  Yours has already been "accepted".  The form did not expire. What expired is an internal comment period.
