I am gathering documentation for our visa interview (not yet scheduled) in Cuidad Juarez. I need to know what other documentation I could submit along with our visa package to ensure that we are not referred. I know there is no way to determine that this will not happen but I want to be as prepared as possible for his interview. This is a list of documentation that I already have and if you can add to my list, it would greatly be appreciated. I also love to receive advice for our fellow immigrant applicants.

DS-260

Petitioner and Applicant's birth certificates along with the English translation

Our marriage certificate

My previous marriage divorce decree

I-864 Affidavit of Support for Sponsor and Co-Sponsor

Documentation of address change with the NVC and USCIS

Extra Copies of the DS-260

Extra Copies of the Visa Appointment Letter

Immigrant Visa and Affidavit of Support Invoices and Receipts

I-797 Notices from the first petition until now

Letter from the Probate Court (explaining that Coweta County does not issue marriage certificates, only marriage licenses on certificate paper)

Catholic Marriage Certificate

Catholic marriage dispensation/permission for us to marry into the Catholic Church

Probate Court marriage license signed by the minister

Application for the marriage license

Joint property deed

Mortgage receipts from joint bank account

Final name change for myself and my minor children (When we got married we took the wrong last name and had to change our last names)

Character Letters

Meaning of tattoos ( my husband has 5, None are gang related. One of the Aztec calendar blended into the Mexican flag, two Kanji symbols, one means "heart broken" and to our surprise we recently found out that the other one means absolutely nothing, he also has an Aquarius girl pouring water into a stream and an Indian princess with a dream catcher around it in honor of my Late Mother)

Correspondences to my husband and myself

Please advise me on anything to help me with our case. As I am very worried because on my husband's tattoos.

Hi! Your list looks very complete. We prepared extra relationship evidence for my husband's interview but they didn't ask for anything more when he was there. We're glad we over-prepared though... just in case! I understand that you're worried about your husband's tattoos but it sounds like he's prepared to give explanations for them, so that's good. Stay positive and keep us posted! Praying it all goes smoothly!
