Requesting insight on what would deem to be adequate supporting documents for a immigrant visa

[CallMeShams 34]

Greetings to all. Thanks in advance for your assistance. I appreciate the wealth of information on this site.

I am the petitioner and my wife who is in Jamaica is concerned about whether or not we have sufficient supporting documents to provide evidence of bonafide relationship.

We are currently at the NVC stage, having just received our case number and invoice ID number.

When we filed the I-130 application, the supporting evidence we provided was a copy of the marriage certificate, a copy of our honeymoon itinerary, and some wire transfer receipits.

My wife has had a slew of negative experiences when she tried for a non immigrant visa in times past, so I can understand why she is very apprehensive about attending such a climatic interview.

Here are a couple questions:

Is there an opportunity to present addtional supporting documentation to the Embassy prior to the interview, maybe in the NVC package? Is that even suggested?

It would appear that during the interview at the Embassy, some are not asked for any supporting documentation, is that random or is it because they provided a plethora of supporting documents in their I-130 application package?

Any reassurance you share as to the interview experience.

Now she is your wife past applications for B1/2 in no way affect her petition unless she told

lies on those app. and is caught now....otherwise there is nothing for her to worry about, I'd

suggest she carries the originals of her birth & marriage certs to the interview along with

photos and evidences you already turned in and whatever her checklist from NVC state that

she brings. She should know where you work & your kids names (if U have kids)also parents

No need for her to be nervous will be like a regular convo a bit different than asking for a visa

to visit...she must disclose all past reuest

Thanks for the response.

I didn't get the last part of your post. ....she must disclose all past?

She must tell them about the past tourist visa apps she had, but they should not affect the current spousal visa.

If you can, I would suggest sending evidence of your time together- plane tickets, copies of passport stamps etc, and a few photos at NVC stage. While she can bring evidence to the interview- and bringing more then is a good idea- often it seems the CO already made up their mind before the beneficiary comes to the window for the interview, so the more evidence is in the packet they review before interview, the better.

Just FYI, a marriage certificate is not proof of a bona fida relationship, it's proof of you actually being married.

For proof of bona fida, the majority sends chat/email logs, phone records, photos of time spent together and with family, passport stamps or boarding passes to show visits to see each other etc.

It's always good to put quality proof of bona fida evidence straight with your I-130 petition. You don't seem to have added that much proof with your petition and even though it was approved, I would still add some more proof to NVC, just to be on the safe side.

You might wanna ask for specifics in the Jamaican forum because some embassies want more bona fida proof at the time of interview and other embassies, such as the one in Sweden, usually don't look at evidence brought to the interview.

Thanks for the response. As you rightly said, the marriage certificate is not proof of a bona fide relationship.

Curios to know if anyone has added such type of information in the documents they sent to the NVC.

Good idea, I will check inthe Jamaican forum.
