So guess who's pulling an all-nighter to get stuff out by DHL tomorrow to get to France before her fiance's February 28th interview? Oops. I'm making a checklist of everything I have to put together tonight. Am I missing anything?

- Letter of intent
- Copy of entire I-129F packet
- Originals of everything sent in the I-129F packet
- Certified copy of my birth certificate
- Copy of NOA2

Financial stuff:
- I-134 and I-864 (packet 3 from Paris specifies the I-864 but at interviews over the past few months they've been taking the I-134 instead)
- Letter from my employer
- Bank letter
- I've got all my paystubs from the last 4 months... I'll figure out a decent number to include.
- I filed my 2006 taxes electronically and chose the option where you have to sign to confirm it, so I'm including a copy of the statement I signed before I mailed it off. I have my W2s, too.
- Letter explaining that I was a student and missionary so that's why I didn't make above the poverty guidelines til October 2006.

Evidence of on-going relationship:
- I'll be going through our e-mails/chat logs and will send him a file to print out so I don't have to send that.
- He requested his phone bills weeks ago and never got them. So he'll be printing what he can off the internet and picking through them to find the ones with the most amount of hours spent calling me - both house and cell phones. I figure there's no need in getting my phone bills because he does all the calling (I ring his phone twice and he calls me back).
We don't have anything other than that... we've never done much with snail mail because we communicate so often daily.

Am I forgetting anything? I feel like I am, probably just because there's so much stuff.

hi ya

Angilla,

It seems like you have all your bases covered!

I only sent the "financial stuff" and he provided a few phonebills. But that was @ Netherlands Embassy and they are pretty soft on their interviews

I wish you both the best of luck on the interview!

edi

Thanks both of you! Paris seems to be a softie too, but my fiance and I haven't seen each other in 14 months... so... I'd like to have him loaded up with stuff juuuuuuuust in case they doubt the validity of our relationship because of that.

Hi girl!
Seems like your docs are ready~~. Just thought I'd say good luck again

Sounds like you're in pretty good shape.

I'm going to be arriving in Paris on the day of your fiance's interview - I think extra good thoughts when I land!!

Thanks guys! I have a question. My bank letter was written on January 22nd and my balance was nearly $2000 lower at the time. I don't have the time to get an updated bank letter, that one took about 2 - 3 weeks to get with all of my bank's games. Do you think a print-out of my online account with a little note saying "Since my bank letter was written my balance has gone up. Here is a print-out from my account to show my current balance" would be a good idea? My account only says "Account balances for Angela", it doesn't say my last name, so I'm not sure if it would mean anything to them as it could be any Angela's account.

I would absolutely send a printout of your online account. I don't know that a letter in addition to that would be necessary.

Ditto

I was told not to worry about the bank statements as long as your W2s and 1040 show that you're well above the poverty guide lines...

Bank statements won't make much difference, provided that you have the W-2's and tax returns.

If you have some Bank statements handy, bring them, if not, don't worry about it.

The consulate in Rio told me the same thing - W2s/tax returns + sufficient salary = no bank letter needed.
You can send an updated balance though if it'd make you feel better - there is no harm in that

The rest looks really good and I'm making mental notes for what I need to take with me.
You may want to send pictures too, like someone said, unless your fiance has the same ones.

Good luck!!!

Yeah I was told on another post that I didn't need the bank letter - didn't know that before! Ah well, it'll just be another one of those things that I send but tell my fiance not to hand over unless they ask for it.

I put photos together in 3 pages of a sort of scrapbook style. A few people on the K1 forum said they did that and it went over well with the consular officer. *shrug* Figured it couldn't hurt, it was relaxing after tearing apart the entire computer room looking for missing evidence originals just to realize I was only missing an e-mail print-out of something!
