Required Documentations for Interview

[Alex&Keir 4]

I am putting together all required documentation for his interview in London for K1 visa. To my understanding he will need to show all police certificates for all countries where he has lived. Is this true?

My Fiance has lived in..

Texas for 2 years for College only.

Abu Dhabi for 7 months for work. They took his emirates ID off him before he could leave.

Therefore, will we need 3 different certificates or will Scotland (where he is from) will do?

Could you also confirm that below is all we need for his interview.

· Completed Form DS-160, Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application. You (and any eligible children applying for K-4 visas) must: (1) complete Form DS-160 and (2) print the DS-160 confirmation page to bring to your intervew.

· A passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond your intended period of stay in the U.S. (unless country-specific agreements provide exemptions).

· Divorce or death certificate(s) of any previous spouse(s) for both you and the U.S. citizen sponsor

· Police certificates from your present country of residence and all countries where you have lived for six months or more since age 16 (Police certificates are also required for accompanying children age 16 or older)

· Medical examination (vaccinations are optional, see below)

· Evidence of financial support (Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, may be requested)

· Two (2) 2x2 photographs. See the required photo format explained in Photograph Requirements

· Evidence of relationship with your U.S. citizen fiancé(e)

· Payment of fees, as explained below

Not all of this may apply for you embassy, but as a general reminder,

take a look at what we prepared.

I can't say this loud enough-- What your K1 buddies might take to their interview in another country does not mean you will do the exact same thing. FOLLOW WHAT LONDON TELLS YOU. Each consulate is different.

Use a London list provided by the embassy. Use both.

http://london.usembassy.gov/application_documents.html Do click the links that say "Follow this link for more info" so you don't miss the finer points.

Of note, the police certificate info from London says only countries where you lived 12 months or more and nothing from the USA. That is what London requires, not 6 months. He will need only one for the United Kingdom.

London does NOT want "Evidence of relationship with your U.S. citizen fiancé(e)". It's true. Nothing.

Divorce decree from US fiancé. They never, ever ask for that. The USCIS already checked off that document in the petition. Yes for UK person if divorced.

Immunizations are optional indeed, but it is foolish not to get them BEFORE the medical exam so they are recorded. You'll be glad he did come AOS time.

I-134 Affidavit of Support does NOT require a tax return for London if you don't have one. (That is only for the I-864) They approve on employer letter only so don't fret over gathering a dozen proofs. There is no set list. Just prove the income. They glance at it and rarely discuss it.

It's easy in London compared to some other countries.

Awesome thanks NIck-NIck. You had everything I needed.

[Alex&Keir 4]

Can we wait on scheduling beneficiary medical after we know the interview date, therefore schedule both in the same week. Is this ideal?

Thanks.

Kidding... answer my own question.

When and Where

The medical examination is performed by an Embassy approved physician at one of two medical centers in London. The medical examination cannot be performed by the applicant's own physician. The medical results are couriered to the Embassy within 5 workdays of the examination.

The medical examination must take place before the visa interview. The Embassy will not schedule the interview until they have received the results of the medical examination.

Sorry to hijack your thread, OP, but I didn't want to clutter up the forum with a new thread.

My interview is next Thursday. I feel like I have the bare minimum of paperwork, and I now have the "It's not enough" panic setting in. I have everything that is listed on the check list from the embassy, and copies, but nothing extra. Am I being overly confident? I'm not really sure what else I could take.

Bring what's on this list and you are good.

And not on the embassy list but requested elsewhere

-interview letter to show to get in;

-print of DS-160 confirmation as stated when you completed that form.

Thank you! I have everything I need. This time next week, I hope I can be celebrating and not commiserating.
