Conflicting guidelines on what to bring to interview

On the main interview prep page on State.gov, says to bring all the civil documents uploaded to CEAC and that you do not need to bring the affidavit or support or financial evidence:

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html

However on embassy websites, it says you must bring the birth certificates of all your children even ones who won t accompany you (even though it s not required on CEAC) and says for family-sponsored visa you must bring the affidavit of support and IRS transcript etc.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MNA-Manama.html#pre_interview_checklist

So which of these is correct?

Medical exam in a different country

Doesn t anyone know if the medical exam can be done at a medical facility in a different country? Some I know are applying for immigrant visas in eastern Saudi Arabia but the medical office there that does US immigration medical exams is closing and the closest ones would be in Riyadh (4-5 hours driving) or in Bahrain, which is a lot closer. Bahrain has a medical office that does the US medical exam, but would the US consulate in Dhahran accept the exam from the office in Bahrain? And I m wondering if this applies to any other third country as well if anyone has any experience. And could someone do the exam in the US if they were in the US before returning to the country where the embassy will be conducting the interview?

Hello,

I m sponsoring my parents and I m going to be uploading their photos to the CAEC portal and of course they have to bring their photos to the interview whenever it s scheduled.

Does anyone know which set of photos will be used for the immigrant visa and if they ll also be the same photos used in the green card eventually?

Thanks

Police Certificate from Bahrain required document

Hello,

I'm trying to get a police certificate from Bahrain for the NVC process but they want the "information packet sent from NVC" as part of the general requirements, as they said the US Embassy there doesn't provide a request letter. Does anyone know what the info packet from NVC is? I didn't receive anything like that in the US nor did my family members in Bahrain.

Hello,

I filled I-130 Petition for Alien Relative for my parents, the first case was approved On May 20, 2022 and the second case was approved at the same day but I corrected a typo in the date of the birth then I got the approval On October 18, 2022. I never got any updates since that time. Today I checked the status and I was surprised to see the that case was closed :

Is that normal to close the case after you get the approval?
