India Processing 2018 NOA2 -----> NVC

[Tara & Rohit 224]

I have been preparing the final documents for our interview on the 7th and I had a thought cross my mind. When it comes to the I-134 should it be the original signed form or will a print out work? I have time to mail it if that's what it takes I'm just curious if it's worth the hassle??

[Tara & Rohit 224]

Well, I guess the real question is has anyone who was recently approved from the Mumbai Consulate provide a copy of the I-134 not the original @Greenbaum Can anyone provide feedback?

@Tara & Rohit, if I’m in ur place & hve enough time to mail it ,I would rather mail it than take a chance. I hve read that it doesn’t hve to be wet signature ,a copy is just fine but why take a chance if you hve time ? That’s just my thinking Tara will see what experienced people say .

Yes, Wet signature is required. my fiance yesterday when she turned in papers at the doc check person or first window, she gave in copies of my I-134 by mistake as I asked her to take an extra copy along.. anyway, the embassy employee asked for original. that means.. he/she wanted to see my signature.

I sent in the signed page3/4 of the I-134 with bank statement unsigned via fedex to my fiance. reached her in 3 days.. but bank statement was never asked for. just w2, IRS tax receipt.. not 1040 and paystubs were taken.

@Knome Could you check ceac.state.gov site with your BMB number? 
I checked my fiance status, it shows "Administrative processing"

@Srinath06,don’t worry abt that as from what I hve read & from a recent post by @Greenbaum, after approval case moves from immigrant to non immigrant status before visa is issued. So that process shows as Administrative processing when we check. Once issued it changes.

@Greenbaum @K1journey_16

I'm worried or tensed.. I checked ceas.state.gov for status with my fiance BMB, her visa approved at the interview yesterday 02/21/19
but the ceas.state.gov shows, help!

Can I ask how many of you guys had a informal engagement with ring? We had a informal engagement , only our parents & siblings were there & he put a ring on me. But now I’m worrying if that’s going to be a problem at interview .. it was at my house no other ceremonies .
