Copies of the originals?

Is it JUST the documents in this list ?

Or are there additional things I should be bringing to the interview, like a copy of the I-129F?

Just the documents listed PLUS

Appointment letter

Proof of paying in advance

The only additional thing I've ever heard of is if you are taking a child out of the UK, they normally want a notarized statement from the other biological parent that he is aware and gives his permission for you to move the kids to the US. Or if you have full custody and the other parent has no parental rights, then a court order or something that shows having full custody.

Edit: Looking at your thread title again. Anything you want back, take a photocopy along with the original. They will file the photocopy and hand back your originals.

Ooh also, copy of the NOA2, should that be notarised? Or should she be sending me the original for me to take a photocopy of here?

Okay, let me try to make this clearer--

NO to copy of petition I129F

NO to NOA1

NO to NOA2

NO to evidence of your relationship

NO to photos together

NO to Skype logs

NO to emails sent to each other

NO to anything notarized unless you find that small child to take to the US with you.

You do not need any of the above at your interview.

What to bring?

YES to the things on that London Embassy list

YES to appointment letter

YES to receipt of paying visa fee in advance over the phone.

Uh... Thanks,... I was only asking about the NOA2 notice but, okay, thanks.

Didn't mean to offend you. I was answering for all the lurkers who aren't asking but wonder about the other stuff too.

That NOA2 needs to be kept in a safe place in the US waiting for your AOS filing. It's needed for that and AOS people often post they lost it in the move and don't want to pay the $350ish to get a replacement.

I can't think of a single thing you will ever be required to have notarized for routine immigration all the way through citizenship. Some people submit notarized affidavits from friends testifying to the bonafides of their marriage when they remove conditions on the greencard. But those are not required, nor is notarization a requirement if you decide to include affidavits. Generally those affidavits are used to prop up weak evidence of being in a bonafide marriage.
