I'm stressing a little about my interview tomorrow :unsure: , as I'm sure everyone does. I've got everything that's on the checklist:

Appointment letter

Passport

DS-230 II

Birth certificate

Marriage certificate

Police certificate

Two photographs (US passport style)

I-864

credit card to pay visa fee

£13.50 for the courier fee.

I'm bringing some bills, our tenancy agreement and photographs of the wedding to prove our marriage is bona fide. I'm also bringing some documents proving my wife (USC) has connections to the US, along with her passport. Lease of the new place, e-tickets of flights, letters proving her and my new job.

So, do you think I've got everything? Anything else anyone thinks we should bring? Wish us luck tomorrow! :)

Thanks,

Tim

Birth certificate

Marriage certificate

Police certificate

take photocopies of them as well, they will check the originals and ask for a photocopy of each to keep for their records!! The originals will be returned to you during your interview.

I paid my visa fee the week before my interview. Most pay theirs on the day of their interview.

All in all, looks good. Good luck tomorrow :thumbs:

Separated!!

You will be just fine and have more than they will ask you for. In fact I doubt they will ask for anything that is related to the check list. It will help if you put the documents in the order they are on the checklist and that is the order they ask for them.

Good luck and the courier takes credit cards as well.

Oh yes take something to read in case the waiting time stretches out a bit.
