Is it needed for anything once I've been issued my visa? Other than health insurance?

Yep. I had my police clearance done Jan 6, 2014. My interview was Jan 28th, 2014. The police department dated it completed Jan 10th, 2013. So with my signature/date on the clearance and my receipt, it was enough to prove I had it done in 2014 and not 2013.

I had a great time with them. The nurses, doctors and receptionists were all very pleasing. My only complaint, which isn't a complaint and has turned in to a great embarassment story, is that one of the doctors spoke pretty softly and I'm hard of hearing. So, I thought he said take everything off except for my socks and come out for my x-rays. The nurse told me not to bother doing up the gown so I didn't. I walked around that area pretty nude. Turns out I was only supposed to take my shirt and necklace off. Good times.

First, make sure your police clearance is dated for 2014 (if you got it done in 2014) not 2013 like my local police dept. did. Second, make sure the letter of intent is the original. A print of it won't do. Third, don't watch the people who go up before you. It can make you pretty nautious. I saw six interviewees head for the elevator in tears. Fourth, don't take bags to the building. I saw roughly 10 people removed from the line to enter the building because they had a bag with them. Fifth, don't leave cough drops in your pockets. They really don't like organics showing up on their scan of your stuff. Six, you can take your cell phone. They'll give you a ticket and keep it stored, off, in a mail slot. Must have your ticket to get your phone back.

Hello. I'm going through the K1 process. Fun times. I've completed the required forms but I have a few questions about what is needed of me.

The first one is signatures. The US visa people want the forms submitted electronically. Do the forms need to be signed? The one has a complex barcode and I'm not sure my scanner is going to reproduce it.

The second is the checklist. It's not very clear. Most of it doesn't apply (adoption, military service, etc) but some of it is just vague. "Evidence of domicile" - Will a few pictues of my fiancee's house do? "Two photographs (In colour)" - Two photographs of what? "Evidence of relationship petitioner - beneficiary" I don't know what to make of this one. And what is a police certificate? Is it a records check?

Thank you for your help.
