What to Bring to Interview

[isis375 105]

On the Department of State guide to interview preparation and what to bring, it specifically says "you do not need to bring Affadavit of Support or financial documents that you uploaded to NVC site to your interview" but the guide here says you should. Do we need to bring that?

Do I need to bring all of the relationship evidence to the interview that I uploaded for the original I-130 petition? 

We are super nervous and don't want to mess it up. And we only have 15 days as they just sent the interview date email today and the interview is March 11. 

 

Any suggestions or help would be great!

 

Edit: Part of why I'm asking about whether it's required - I will have to overnight the AoS and financial documents to Costa Rica right now if he needs those documents because as I mention above, we only have 15 days to prepare.

I would recommend take everything. I did the same for my AOS interview a month ago. We were not asked for anything, except for the passports and Driver's license. But the officer did commend our preparation and said it is always good to be prepared.

Best to look at the list generated by the consulate site at which you are having the interview. Ours had a specific checklist which varied a bit from the NVC information. If I remember correctly we had copies of the AOS with us .. scan, email and print is the easiest

Scan, email,  print locally.

Okay, that was the worry I had. So I don't need my husband to have the wet signature AoS right? I have every document of everything scanned and available on my computer, I just didn't want to get in trouble if we needed the actual original.

DOS ended the wet signature requirement 5 years ago
