[jonandrachel 2]

So... nervous time are afoot. I have my interview in London on Friday and i'm going through my folder to make sure i have everything. This is what i'm taking, if anyone thinks i've missed or overlooked something or should include more of something, please let me know...

- signed visa fee receipt

- visa appointment letter

- my birth certificate and copy

- police record and duplicate

- form I-134 affidavit of support and related documents from my fiancee's father

- proof of my own financial situation to prove i wont be a burden to the state, bank accounts etc

- evidence of relationship: recent signed letters of intent, copies of email history covering 2 years, photocopies of my passport with travels stamps to the US, a copy of a signed contract for an engagement shoot photographer, 5 or so photos from the US and the UK, flight itineraries, postcards.

- my vaccination records

- a copy of my completed packet 2 - DS230, DS156, DS156k, DS157

- all letters i've received: NAO1 and NAO2 etc

- copy of original I-129, which also included photos, flight bookings and the receipt for the engagement ring.

- AND OF COURSE... MY PASSPORT!!

So, with my bus booked, i think i'm pretty much ready.

Any advice, please let me know.

thanks everyone

Please read Nich-Nick's awesome thread in the UK forum: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/

You won't need proof of an ongoing relationship for example.

- form I-134 affidavit of support and related documents from my fiancee's father

- proof of my own financial situation to prove i wont be a burden to the state, bank accounts etc

- my vaccination records

- a copy of my completed packet 2 - DS230, DS156, DS156k, DS157 (in case they misplaced your papers)

Thanks, i must have read that thread from Nich-Nick a hundred times, but i'm still a worrier.

And idea if there is a general consensus whether London tells you on the day that you have been accepted or rejected?

They will tell you. If you are missing anything, you have to send it before they can say approved. Which is why you are worrying I guess . Or if you have a reason they need to do extra security checks (additional processing aka AP), they may or may not say approved.

Have you read the London interview reviews?? There's over 600. Look for the K1 ones in the group. CR1s bring different things.

Are you including two I-134s? One for you, and one for fiancee's father?

No i'm not, i have the completed I-134 from my future father in law, and just some bank statements for me showing savings to indicate that i have enough money to survive without a job for a while

and just some bank statements for me showing savings to indicate that i have enough money to survive without a job for a while

Completely unnecessary to include this, as they do not care about the beneficiaries financial situation at all

Being that you are the primary sponsor, you would still need to complete an I-134 form too even if you are using a cosponsor. Unless this is UK specific to only provide one, you will need one form for each of you.
