When to start gathering documentation for interview

[bmackin 0]

Hi everyone,

First thank you for being so helpful in this stressful time! This forum has been really useful and I appreciate you all taking the time to answer.

Our petition was approved and we received the NOA2 in the mail yesterday. Now I'm wondering when to do the documents he will need for interview. I would do them now but we have no idea when he's going to get the interview and I was worried that if the Affidavit of Support and the bank documents are dated far before the interview that that might look bad and if it would be better for us to wait until he actually receives something from the embassy so its more recent.

Thank you!

Hello!

It might depend on where you are sending the documents to, and how long it will take for them to arrive. I would start getting all the papers together as soon as possible. I sent the papers for my fiance about 1-2 months beforehand and it all worked out!

As long as your bank statements, etc. are dated after you received the NOA2, then it should be okay. It takes a while to make sure you have all of the required documents, so it's best to start early!

Make sure all the documents are as organized as possible for your fiance, as that will help speed up the process at the interview! Good luck!
