Consulate interview next month!

[Pleasework89 44]

Hello! Thank your for reading and thanks for any feedback as well!

 

I am gathering the documents for the interview next month at the consulate for IR1. I understand and have all the original documents (civil documents) that are needed from the beneficiary. But what originals are needed from the sponsor and joint sponsor? For example, do we include our US citizenship original document (birth certificate, US passport)?? And what about pay stubs/tax returns and W2....copies okay? Or will I have to ask the joint sponsor to mail the originals? I am also emailing the consulate for a definitive answer but just want to hear from other people who attended their interview already and if they were asked for original financial/ citizenship proof or if copies were okay?

For the joint sponsor, IRS tax transcripts are usually preferred (the transcripts include all the W2 info as well), but if tax transcripts are not available, copies of a return with all W2’s/1099’s should be fine.  As to the BC or PP, usually a certified copy of the BC or a copy of the PP bio page should be fine.

 

Good Luck!
