I'm petitioning my mom from Ukraine, IR-5 visa. We already received the day for her scheduled interview, Aug 12. Now we are trying to prepare for the interview and I'm a little bit confused whether or not she needs I-864 affidavit of support printed out and brought with her to the interview along with her other civic documents. We already submitted I-864 to the NVC and it was accepted, I don't really see why she would need a printed copy of it. 

Does anyone has gone through the interview already and know if the affidavit of support needs to be with the applicant?

Thanks!

Thanks! I saw this list too but I think on the NVC site it says if affidavit of support was already sent to them then she doesn't need to bring it with her on the interview. That's why I got confused. One source says she needs to have it and the list says otherwise. 

She'll just have to bring it with her to be safe.

Hey, do you mind sharing the timeline for your mom? I'm hoping to apply for my parents soon.

Thank you😊
