Hello! Our interview is on Thursday and I'm trying to get my fiance organized and in order with his paperwork before then. He's a little overwhelmed so I'm trying to have him separate it out exactly in order for handing it in. I found a thread before that had a detailed list but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

I would bring a copy of everything your fiance had to mail in after getting their Packet 3. My fiance was asked for his police certificate, birth certificate, the affidavit of support documents, but never asked to show any pictures even though he brought a lot of those as well.

I’m sure @Wuozopo has a detailed list saved to his computer, as he’s definitely shared this info a few times 🙃.

Will you be attending the interview with him?  just curious...For my wife's interview I brought in all my financial paperwork, proof of work, etc.  Everything that @JMCKNG mentioned is exact.  Also, the embassy that your fiance is going to for the interview, check the websitemas they should have a list to bring.  You guys got this, #nostress!!! :)

I was really trying but fiance's prevented me from going as flight tickets are crazy expensive right now.

I defiantly will! I'm so nervous but he just received his letter from the psychiatrist today and it was really nice. I'm hoping that helps him in his interview.

To be honest, I don’t think there’s a massive amount of value in you coming to the interview...you wouldn’t be allowed in the embassy anyway and whilst it apparently can help at other embassies for the beneficiary to take in the petitioner’s passport with them, to prove they’re outside, at London it’s totally unnecessary. I don’t imagine they’d even look at it. Your fiancé is right, save the cash! 🙃

Yes, I'm not sure if you have followed my journey but my fiance has a few cautions that could ultimately get us denied so I wanted to be there for support but if we are denied... I'll need that extra cash for the waiver. Also, I haven't seen him since January so I'm just really missing him and wanted to come back lol.

I have been following your story and totally understand you wanting to be there from a support perspective. I guess only you can make that decision 🙏.
