What to send to fiance for K1 interview

[M_&_R 77]

We got our NOA2 last week (finally). I'm putting together a packet to ship to my fiance. This is what I'm putting in it:

Original I134 with my sig

Employment letter from my HR department

Last 4 pay stubs (original)

Last tax return (I know I can send 3yrs, sending 2011 only personal reasons)

Original 2011 W2 forms

A full duplicate of the I129F package

Original NOA1

Original NOA2

Question - does he need my original birth cert & marriage / divorce certs? (Currently there are copied placeholders in the I129F duplicate.)

Phone records summary & detail with handwritten explanation in English & Spanish

Screenshots of weekly video chat with time/date showing, summary & detail with handwritten explanation in English & Spanish

Have I missed anything? I haven't seen him since we filed the I129-F, can't afford to, and can't go down for the interview (Juarez doesn't allow me to attend anyway). Our proof of meeting in the last 2 years is in the original packet. I'm nervous about putting my original ID in the mail to Mexico, but since I can't go down I don't see an alternative, because I believe he needs it, right? He'll be filling out the fiance forms online (D156, right - have to research that too) - that's how they do it for Mexico. I'm pretty sure this is all the stuff I'm responsible for (as opposed to his stuff) and have to send him. I make well over the minimum so I'm not including additional asset or sponsor information - particularly as I don't have either assets, or a sponsor LOL. We are on the phone nightly and have a video chat weekly, so our "ongoing relationship" proof is the phone & chat records. I'm doing the notations on them in my writing in both languages to help show that we communicate in both (he speaks English as well).

Is this a complete packet? Feedback is appreciated.

Just a few. Do not send Original of your Birth Cert. To include Original NOA1 or NOA2. Do not send Original Divorce decree (that was already covered in the 129-F petition. SEND COPIES of the above If you wish to send a divorce decree as you already did before get a copy stamped and sealed at the Courthouse. Original tax forms copies too. Sending these ORIGINAL Forms if lost your in trouble.

You left out a New "Letter of Intent" that should be provided for the interview. (you know, get married in less than 90 days)

These are just a few things I see. Others can add. Good Luck... Tim/Mav

i dont think there is a need to send stuff included in the original petition cause they would already have it. other wise everything is looking ok. You can also send an updated letter of intent to get married. other wise your list looks good.

he will need passport photos, DS-230,DS-156,DS-157,DS-156K,you need a letter of intent,like you are both of age and free to marry after admission to the united and get married within 90 days sign, date.

New Letter of Intent

Follow the Guides

Actually, a second letter of intent is not required by all embassies. If it is not on the list sent to you by the US Embassy, it is not outstanding.

This is true, but it's just a piece of paper that doesn't hurt to add. The Embassy will take it anyway.

Thanks - I did have a second letter of intent on my list but forgot to type it in here. I've read all the guides & the page on Juarez. I haven't found a guide for "what to send your fiance because you're the one who has it and they don't" - going by all the info posted, this was my best shot.

One thing - I didn't send certified copies of my ID / marital status docs with the I129-F. I sent scans, and they accepted that.

Before I found this site I found Rapid Visa and used them to complete the I129-F packet. That was successful. It's on their advice that I'm sending the duplicate of the I129-F to my fiance, so that he can study exactly what was submitted to them so far, just to be fully prepared.

Going to re-read everything, and add that second letter.

Maybe certified copies of the original ID / marital docs are the best idea.

No need for the letter of intent from the USC at Juarez, unless you just really want to add it. The instructions do not ask for one.

I personally ordered extra copies of my birth certificate and divorce decree so I could send those instead of just copies. I sent copies with the I-129F as well.

No need for the NOA1 or NOA2 either. Sending a full copy of the petition is useful for the beneficiary to see exactly what the CO will have in front of them. They can ask questions about anything they see in your file, so it is good to be prepared that way.

For the consulate, things do not need to be translated to English either. All the COs are fluent in both English and Spanish.

Your original list looked pretty good.

Thank you for the tips. Is that Teotihuacan in your avatar? I went there with SO last time I saw him. Hoping to go back as a family before too long.

Yes. My husband is from Mexico City. I love it there. Went once alone with my husband, and the next time we took a trip there we took my daughter. She loved it too. We hope to have more family trips there in the future, and other places around Mexico I haven't gotten to explore yet.

I was 4 months pregnant & my fiance was like "you can go like halfway up, right?" Hell no, I waited at the bottom, it was like 75 degrees that day! I love that the three of us were there together. Can't wait until little man can do it "on the outside" LOL.

Yes! I tried using an umbrella to keep the sun off me, but it did not really help much. It was really hot and sunny. The moon pyramid is tall enough. The sun pyramid is just so damn high and the steps are steep. I do not know how the Aztecs climbed up and down all the stairs all the time. There are steps and stairs everywhere around that whole place, not just the main pyramids. They must have been really in shape people with very strong leg muscles.
