My wife and I are really confused about what is needed for the CR1 interview. The information provided by the Manila Embassy states that that the following is required.

I-134, I864, Birth Certificate, Wedding Certificate, Police Clearance Certificate, Visa photos and supporting documentation for proof of relationship and a few other things that do not apply to my wife.

We provided the NVC the Birth Certificate, Wedding Certificate, Police Clearance Certificate, and Visa photos of both the Petitioner and Benenficary along with the Affadavit of Support (I-864) and supporting documentation.

Do we need to again provide all the information for the interview at the embassy that has already been provided to the NVC along with a I-134 support documentation?

What does my wife actually need to bring to the interview at the Manila Embassy?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

We recently had our CR2 (not CR1) interview. Most of the same documents are required.

Your wife will definitely need to bring an extra DS-230, completed and signed, to the interview. Yes, even if you already submitted one to NVC. At the prescreening part of USEM, they asked that from us. Fortunately, I brought 2 copies of EVERYTHING...but that is just me and my OCD. :lol:

I hope this helps you some! Good luck with your upcoming interview! :thumbs:

Is there any fees or surcharges to be paid at the time of the interview for a CR1? We paid the AOS fee and DS230 fee at the NVC.

I remember reading in the past that a fee for the delivery of the Visa was paid to the delivery company after the inteview was complete. I have not read anything lately. Anyone know what is up with that? Has the fee been rolled into the price of the Visa?
