bring a copy of i-864 to interview

[Mikhail 1]

some things you should bring to the interview are the ds230 part 1 and 2 as well as pictures 2x2 nbi etc etc, but why do you need to bring in the I-864 again? can someone show me were it says that on a official website, or atleast explain the reasoning behind bringing it again?

The logic is to bring any and everything you've ever submitted to USCIS or NVC. This is in anticipation that somewhere along the line they are going to lose something and they'll expect you to provide it again.

So true! That's what happened to us. The caseworker at the Embassy lost my I-134, my tax transcripts, my W-2, my paycheck stubs, and all of my other financial information.

Chinook had to go back to the Embassy and submit copies.

I already provided you with the links to the embassy site. You need to read them carefully. The first paragraph in Packet 3 sums it up:

Immigrant visa applicants should have ALL the following documents ready to submit at the time of the visa interview. Your application will be refused if you fail to bring any of the required documents.http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/19452/public/Packet%204%20_appointment%20packet_%20English%20rtf%20_revised%20GSS_%20_2__001.pdf

It is on you and your wife to bring it. Will it be needed? Maybe, maybe not. If you dont care to get slowed down by not bringing it and needing it...don't get another copy ready. If you want smooth sailing, make sure your wife brings another copy. Simple as that.
