I have a VJ friend who just gone through the Singapore embassy. They forgot a document and was quickly turned away and told to reschedule, which delayed them by 2 weeks. So in all honesty, I wouldn't suggest you to show up without the paper copies. Ultimately, the choice is yours to make and risk for you to take.

Thank you @KULtoATL

Hi @KULtoATL @Oliva @pushbrk sorry to bother you. I contacted all people in US (petitioner and co-sponsor) and they insist not to bring any I-864 to the interview. They said in the P4 letter is a standard (red highlighted in earlier posted) and every candidate received the same.

I try to explain them to have the document in hand which is better than nothing. The discussion was not going well and we almost fight over this. For now, I step back and google if the I-864 really need for the interview. After a while found this Affidavit-Of-Support-for-CR1-Visa-Interview

Since now days NVC requires you to submit all documents to them before the interview date, so normally you don't take neither original nor copy of I-864 with you to interview.

Also US poverty guide lines change every year, so if you did not get an interview date before April 15 2017 then the I-864 that you have submitted to NVC is obsolete now. 

I am frustrated over this. What is your suggestion?

Anyone here in Singapore went for interview without I-864? Please share your experienced.

Hi @KULtoATL is there any way to request a copy of I-864 from NVC? this will help me:

1. No typo
2. No need to contact co-sponsor to sign

Hi @KULtoATL thank you for your suggestion. When we print new and sign, for the date, will it be sign date or the date that I submitted to USCIS?

Hi VJ,

I have an interview schedule in Singapore next month. In P4 letter:

================================================================================
*** IMPORTANT *** Interview Reminders
================================================================================
You already submitted certain forms and documents to NVC. At your visa interview, you must give the
consular officer the original version of each civil document you submitted plus one photocopy for each
person applying for a visa. These original versions will be returned to you.
 The only form you do not need to bring to your interview is the Form DS-260 Application for an
Immigrant Visa. Instead, print a copy of the receipt page from ceac.state.gov showing you submitted the
form online.
 If a financial sponsor submitted an I-864 Affidavit of Support form, you must give the consular officer
a signed version. It can be a photocopy, but the signature cannot be typed or electronic.
 If you do not bring to your interview the original version of all civil documents submitted to NVC, the
consular officer will reschedule your interview.
Please use the helpful checklist on the next page to prepare for your interview. You can also visit
"Interview Preparation - Required Documents" on nvc.state.gov/interview or watch our instructional
video at nvc.state.gov/resources for more information.

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 U.S. (photocopy of a U.S. passport, U.S. birth
certificate, naturalization certificate, or legal permanent resident card).
􀀀 Evidence of the relationship between the petitioner and visa applicant (such as photographs and letters).

In above P4 letter it required to bring 1 copy of I-864 to the interview. The point is that we did not make any copy of form I-864 before submitted to NVC. So my question is:

1. I do have (a).petitioner’s income tax + (b).co-sponsor's income tax + (c).W-2s  --> Can I just bring those documents(a+b+c) to the interview without I-864?
2. If no, what is your suggestion?

Thank you all...Done

Yes you need to. They just wanna know where you want your passport/visa to be delivered, e.g Amarex...

 

I am going to have interview here in Singapore too on 25 Oct. When is your interview? Your IR1/CR1 or K1?

@Happyfamily03 

Mind CR1 and same day interview. Did you manage to register for a courier service yet? Can you please suggest how?

Hi folk,

I'm new to this portal. Just received interview schedule from NVC. The interview will be in Singapore. Do I need to  "Register for a courier service"? Please suggest.

Preparing for Your Visa Interview

All eligible applicants must complete the following tasks before their visa interview. Detailed instructions for
each step are online at nvc.state.gov/interview (English) and nvc.state.gov/ interview/espanol (Spanish):

2. Register for a courier service (if required) and read the interview instructions for your location.
3. Gather documents required for the interview. You must bring to the interview the original versions of all civil documents and certificates submitted to NVC. You may need to get updated financial documents and police certificates.
4. Visit the embassy’s website at usembassy.gov for additional information.
