We have few Questions if you guys can help. 

 

 

Question 1:  Our Joint sponsor doesn’t have a passport. The Consulate requested A passport biographic page copy of joint sponsor (My Dad). 

We have provided birth certificate/ Voter registration/ Driving license. Is that enough?

 

Question 2: Shall we upload all new added document to the CEAC online or we just take them with us to the Interview? Will that affects our DQ?

Bringing family members to the US forum section is for family members besides the spouse such as parents and siblings. You’re petitioning for a spouse (CR1) , there’s a whole dedicated forum section for spouses of US citizens.

1. yes

3. anything that u have been submitted to them, bring the original. birth certificate, marriage cert, passport etc. whatever that u can think of, bring all of them. better be safe than sorry

4. albums, bring it to the interview, make sure u have some / few thats printed 4x6 and glued it to letter size paper, they cant take ur album. album is only to show. 

5. i did stack everything in 1 bundle ( black binder clip) but i indexed tab everything and put the index detail on the first page so it's easy for them to take whichever they want just by looking at the detail on the first page. u want it easy and quick for them to do that.
