Visa Interview Requirements

We're gonna have our visa interview next week. I am confused about the required documents I should bring.

Is it really necessary to bring a physical copy of the Affidavit of Support on the day of interview even though our petitioner sent it to NVC?

Yes it is necessary but don't be surprised if they don't ask for it. Use the Embassy Letter to prepare for the interview.

We're under Family Visa. I already read the Interview Instructions from the US Embassy Manila page. But I'm confused since we recieved an email from US Embassy Manila about the documents we need to prepare for our interview. In the email, they didn't instruct us to bring a physical copy of the Affidavit of Support. We'd like to bring a physical copy just in case but it seems like our petitioner, who filed the Affidavit of Support, can't find the document.

So they should print a new one and sign it. Not that hard.

I was talking about the original document saved on the computer. The only other document was sent to NVC...

Yes it is necessary, NVC and USEM each have their own requirements, what you sent to NVC does not negate the requirements from USEM. Follow the embassy instructions letter, bring EVERYTHING listed to your interview. You must provide an ORIGINAL, signed, I-864 and copies of you ITR & W2.

EVIDENCE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT. Applicants must provide evidence that they will not become public charges (that is, dependent on U.S. government welfare and assistance).  Form I-864 Affidavit of Support for visa applicants in the IR, F, certain E visa categories, and following-tojoin employment (E) applicants, complete with copies of the sponsor’s U.S. federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Forms W-2). The petitioner must provide an Affidavit of Support even if he/she has no income and even if a joint sponsor provides an Affidavit of Support reflecting sufficient funds to provide financial care.

Link is to wrong type of visa, they are immigrant visa. And not asking for support evidence is with the K-1 not the immigrant visa.

And that's why I asked him to complete his timeline and profile because I was not sure what visa he was chasing. I gave him the K-1 because that is the most sought after visa. I can only do what do is available.

Give away was the OP's 1st post and the comment that - the petitioner sent this to NVC - only immigrant visas do that.

Even if it was a whole new I-864, that's fine. print it again, have them sign again, and send it to the beneficiary. If the original was sent to the NVC, that's all that's really needed but it doesn't hurt to have the copy.

People over think this a lot.
