US Immigration from United Kingdom

Finally have my interview date at the US Embassy in London, and I'm running through the checklist of documents needed. I've noticed a discrepancy and can't get a straight answer from the Embassy.

In the initial link on the interview confirmation (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html), it states:

• You do not need to bring your Affidavit of Support or financial evidence you submitted to NVC.

However, on the link it sends you to for a full breakdown of required documents (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/LND-London.html), under Family-based visa applications, it says:

Applicants who fall into any category listed in italics below should bring these additional documents:

For family-based visa applications:

• The appropriate Form I-864 Affidavit of Support for each financial sponsor along with a photocopy of the sponsor s IRS transcript or most recent U.S. federal income tax return, and any relevant W-2s.
  
• Proof of your U.S. petitioner s status and domicile in the United States (photocopy of a U.S. passport, naturalization certificate, or lawful permanent resident card).
  
• Evidence of the relationship between the petitioner and visa applicant (such as photographs, letters, or emails).

If you are married: Your original marriage certificate, English translation, and a photocopy. A certified copy from the issuing authority is acceptable.

My wife is a US citizen, and has multiple times confirmed her current address. She has submitted the tax returns etc previously do I need to bring a copy of them to my interview or not? The two links seems to contradict themselves.

Also, for proof of domicile (if that is even needed, as the wording makes it sound like it only applies of the petitioner themselves is an immigrant), is a State ID acceptable? Reason being, her US passport hasn't been updated since we got married, so still has her maiden name and previous address on it, and we're worried it wouldn't be accepted.

Again, all this feels redundant, because if they had any doubts she didn't live in the US, we wouldn't have made it this far. But I want to be 100% I have everything before I get to my interview.

Any insights are welcome.

Thanks

Hello,

I was hoping someone could shine a bit of light on how USCIS actually process cases, it s evidently clear that they don t actually process them in case-order as I m seeing people who applied in June/July 2023 being approved whilst I applied in February 2023 and still have moved absolutely nowhere from receiving my NOA1.

I got divorced last year and I'm applying for my US citizenship. On the paper it asks for a spouses birth certificate. I can ask but I'm not sure if he'll let me borrow that. I have all the other required paperwork and divorce decree. I've been in the US for almost 8 years now and my daughter is a US citizen from birth. Has anyone else filed after divorce and did they require the birth certificate of your ex spouse?

Thanks.

Sorry for this question and I'm not sure if it can be answered or not. But this morning I checked my account and I have an appointment for April 10th. Previously the processing time said 5 months and now it says 7. How long after the interview does it take for them to process everything and give a decision or does it depend?

In May 2022, it said online that they were ready to schedule my interview, but I have not received any paperwork since then with reference to it. They just keep sending my renewal notices to extend my visa. It has been renewed until May 2025. Was I meant to somehow schedule an interview? I applied in Jan 2021!
