Hello everybody.. 

 

my interview is coming up and i only got an email telling me to schedule the appointment, once i did i got the confirmation for it.

 

now, since i didn‘t get a letter whatsoever that states what i have to bring (it only says to bring my passport)  i am taking the following documents just in case.

 

• 2 passport pictures

• Passport

• The joint sponsors paperwork I-864 +

I-864a

• Their last 3 years tax return + the W2

• A few bills and copies of their driving license 

• On top of that i‘m going to bring the bill of sale from our business

 

So the consulate did not ask me for any of these papers.. i just wanna be prepared for everything they might want.

 

Any suggestions on what else i should take?

So there is your answer. You gave them already everything and you only need to bring the fee and your passport. 

 

Of course you can bring all the other stuff you mentioned so you'll have it if somebody might ask.

I am a super organized person. That‘s a gift and a curse haha

i have followed and completed every single step correctly (well with a 3 month gap because the Irs has sent us documents that never arrived so they had to resent them ... which was not my fault)

 

I just wanna do it 100% because i don‘t want to go there twice 🙈

 

I still didn‘t get asked for a joint sponsor even tho my husband owned a business in Germany which obviously means that his income won‘t continue. But some people told me i will need one and they‘ll ask me for it at the interview . I don‘t know why the consulate did not tell me that, that‘s why i‘m just taking everything that‘s possibly needed

I remember your previous thread about that. They could tell you during the interview in case they think you need a co-sponsor.

Good luck!
