Does I-129F Petition need to be brought to K-1 Interview?

[Nich-Nick 3,354]

Is it on the official website of the US Embassy -London? They provide a list. Follow that, not Visa Journey.

No

[corvusheart 163]

What about updated bona-fides don't you need those too?

[Nich-Nick 3,354]

Nope

Not on their list but told to you elsewhere by London:

Appointment letter

DS-160 confirmation

payment receipt

Here's some experienced advice--

On that VJ Guide page, it is serious over-kill for anybody interviewing in London. Here is the list revised for you.--

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

NO 1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one). Your fiance(e) should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this as well).

NO 2. Send copies of the documentary proof that you submitted with the I-129F for your fiance(e) to have on hand for their interview at the embassy. Your fiance(e) should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this as well).

NO 3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

YES4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5. You will need several items (for the above form). Gather duplicate evidence of income and resources as appropriate: one item is enough! two max

NO (A) Statement from an officer of the bank/financial institution with your deposits, identifying the following: 1. date account opened; 2. total amount deposited for the past year; 3. present balance

Good one (B) Statement(s) from your employer on business stationary showing: 1. Date and nature of employment; 2. salary paid; 3. whether position is temporary or permanent (also include copies of your last two pay stubs and your previous W-2 for the associated employer if available)

(C ) If Self Employed: 1. Copy of last income tax return filed (or IRS transcripts); or 2. report of commercial rating concern

(D) List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s).

Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. See this FAQ for more tips and useful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

NO 6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail. (backup information; the embassy will have copies of this as well)

NO 7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, online chat logs (pick several over the prior few months), etc.. from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 until date-now).

NO Examples: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate emails and letters you have sent including the stamps on envelopes (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

I had a checklist sent out with my interview letter, so maybe your fiance has that?

I've just ticked each one off as I got it ready for tomorrow. On the checklist there is:

Passport

Birth certificate

Police certificate

Military record (if applicable)

Photographs - 2 colour photographs, 2 inches by 2 inches. (Beneficiary only)

Affidavit of Support with proof of income.

And like Nich Nick said Appointment letter, DS-160 confirmation and payment receipt.

[corvusheart 163]

Ok he has all those. My only concern is he may have lost some of our updated bona-fides since filing i-129F. I do know for sure he has call records from the last three months we call eachother about 100 times everyday and one money transfer from my account to his.

[RM1987 3]

From everything I have read recently about the interview at London, they don't ask for the updated bona-fides. I'm sure what he does have will be enough to take with him just in case they ask for it, but chance are they won't be wanting to see them.

[corvusheart 163]

I'm not 100% sure he has MRV receipt. If that's the most that's missing what will happen will he get denied?

[RM1987 3]

I can't imagine it being a denial, he will have to submit the information afterwards.

Is the MRV receipt from when you pay the visa fee? If so, you can just reprint the instruction page from the email confirmation.

[corvusheart 163]

He's already on the train to London since his appointment is early tomorrow. Yes that's from when you pay for visa. He may have it but may not.

[Mbrennan 15]

He's already on the train to London since his appointment is early tomorrow. Yes that's from when you pay for visa. He may have it but may not.

Rather than worry yourself into a VJ post, why don't you find out from him first?

If he doesn't have it, why can he not print it out somewhere (his hotel, an Internet cafe, a library) and problem solved.

[jptl85 25]

I had my MRV receipt and they didn't even ask for it, he didn't even want the courier receipt but i prompted him to see if he wanted it, to which he replied yes.

Don't worry so much, I am sure he is going to be fine.

[Hotter Otter 1,211]

I didn't get asked for half the things I expected, not even the DS260 confirmation it says to bring on the website. I did get asked for the courier receipt though.
