Hello everyone,

I'm leaving in the morning to meet my wife for a week. This is likely the last time we will see each other in person, before her interview at the Kiev embassy. Since I'm the one that's been putting together all our proof of relationship stuff, and she has all the original documents from Ukraine, we are going to try and make sure I have everything that needs to be sent in the IV package, and she has all the stuff she will need for the interview.

Help me out, if all this sounds right, kind of a last check list, since I've been scrambling to get ready to leave tomorrow, I'm a little fried right now.

Things I'm going to give her:

All our Skype logs/screen shots

Relationship photo album.

Our travel documents, boarding passes, receipts from trips together, copies of my passport stamps, etc.

All the receipts for flowers/gifts I've sent her in Ukraine.

Information showing her as my spouse for my benefits at work.

Moneygram receipts from when I've sent her money.

The ORIGINAL affidavits from my friends, about our relationship (copies of these were included with our I-130 package).

Things she will be giving me, to send with the IV package:

The following ORIGINAL documents:

Our marriage certificate.

Her birth certificate.

Her divorce decree, from her first marriage.

Police Certificate.

Three photos.

Am I missing anything? Does it all sound right?

Thanks for helping me do a final check on this.

Bruce: Your list of things you are going to give her matches with mine very closely. Make a copy of all of these to be included in the IV package. I added this package with the IV package as a separate bunch (wrote supporting proof of relationship on the top). The photos (wedding and other pics) I put them in a Word file and then printed the pages (in color) and added in the IV package. This way the CO at the consulate will have an opportunity to review everything ahead of the interview. Also, make sure to write the Case # on the top (right) of each page.

Everything I have sent to NVC I have mailed a copy to my wife so she can carry it to the interview in case they want to see any of the evidence.
