Your interview letter pretty much gets you in with passport photo ID. I’ve never heard anybody say they had to show a driver license. After getting through security, go straight up to the counter inside. There will be a long line of non-immigrant visa blokes in the queue and you can go past them because your appointment is with the immigrant visa unit.

I like your idea to simplify it. That’s exactly what I would chose to,do. if the date was extremely critical, they would ask for a witness or notary to watch him sign. EDIT: After thinking about it, I think it would also be fine to put the date he signed. You prepared everything early. Most do. As long as USCIS receives it during the specified timeframe is what matters, not the date you finished your submission.

No. London is fine with the uploaded copies. The interview is all about you and your civil documents for them to view like your birth certificate, etc. No to DS-260 and I-864 original. Those are forms, not your civil documents. If anything is missing or they can’t view on your online file, they will ask you to upload what seems to be missing and put you “on hold” so to speak. They don’t want to be handed pieces of papers to add to the files…at least that has been the experience of other spouse applicants in London. It’s been things like no W2 with the tax return, even though the applicant uploaded it and can see it on their account and brought it with them. Not sure why London can’t be arsed to just take the paper and scan it themselves, but they tend to say go home and upload it, then we can finish your visa.

London doesn’t look at additional relationship evidence. The I-130 approval satisfies them on you relationship unless you have some really dodgy circumstances that are obvious fraud. Everything they need would be already uploaded to NVC because spouse files are all digital. They want to see your original civil documents like marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc to verify, then hand those back. And of course your passport, appointment letter, and courier confirmation. See this list on the embassy website, most of which you’ve already uploaded “photocopies” of the civil docs. They don’t mention needing relationship evidence.. https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/family-immigration/required-documents/

Look at the timeline. Interview and approved 4/8/2022. Received the greencard on 4/15/2022. They write about their interview.

The N-400 only wants to know that you filed tax returns. They don’t audit how you file or care how much money you made. Nothing to worry about on N-400 as long as you file your tax return and pay your taxes. As far as your second job, to the IRS you are a self employed contractor. You own a small business and report your earnings on Schedule C. You also have Schedule SE which is paying in your share of Medicare and Social Security. Keep good records of earnings and expenses (like miles driven to the gig, or things you had to purchase, etc) You should become familiar with what records you will need to provide your accountant before you get started. Here a start for learning https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/self-employed-individuals-tax-center

Take the pay slips with you and you can show them if needed.

I don’t think additional documents will cause issues, but the employer letter should be sufficient for a London interview.

i wonder If nobody has answered you because this isn’t difficult to figure out yourself. Your bank statement should have a summary of total deposits for the month. Get the most recent 12 statements and add up the deposits. I would make a spreadsheet showing 12 monthly amounts and a total. Put 12 statements behind it as the evidence. BANK DEPOSITS - BANK OF AMERICA Statament date. Deposits 10/31/2022. $4567.00 09/30/2022. $6377.22 08/31/2022. $5544.23 etc etc TOTAL $XXXXX.XX Note: If you have adequate salary/income as shown on a tax return, employer letter, or pay stubs, you shouldn’t need to show bank info too. I am not familiar with your embassy to know what they typically like to see with an I-134.

This is not common. A typical K1 interview in London only wants the beneficiary’s documents. I think the interviewing officer just made a mistake. The divorce decree copy provided with the petition should have been sufficient proof that the petitioner’s marriage ended. I think the 221g was in error and when when the case was reviewed after the interview by maybe a supervisor, it was all deemed complete and fine and passed on to be issued and printed. So no worries that I see. My personal K1 experience in London and further on to Adjustment of Status and US citizenship— No original of my petitioner’s birth certificate or the death certificate proving her first marriage ended were ever viewed in person by an immigration official.. The photocopies of both were all accepted.

The embassy is not going to rescind the visa. I think you are alarming the OP for no reason.

It means the visa was approved and done. They don’t need the original of the divorce decree.

Your £20 covers home delivery still. The extra “courier in” is part of the embassy contract I suppose because nobody is charged for that. Are you sure the SMS message isn’t acknowledging the delivery to the embassy? If you only sent the document today, having your visa approved, printed, and packaged up the same day would be quite the miracle. Check your CEAC status. Has it changed to “Nonimmigrant”? How about “Issued”.

Sorry I never read that picture you posted because it was small and fuzzy. I personally would click it and carry on without an email. Next thing I want you to report back on is if you get the choice for the courier to come to yours and pick up the document or if you have to go to a depot to send. They used to come collect from the sender.

Is there a choice for Courier In Certificate? Can you screenshot the options after logging in? Yes you must use the courier to send documents to the embassy. There is no charge to you.

I would contact the NVC because they hold your file. The embassy really knows nothing about you yet. The NVC can honor your request to switch your designated embassy and schedule your interview for London. Do you have a reliable address in the UK where you can live for a month or so? Do you have a good “story” to tell why you have to get back to live in the UK besides Sydney Is too slow?

Who are you counting? 1 Your sponsor 1 You, the immigrant 4 Another family last year—2 adults, 2 kids ? Sponsors wife ? Sponsor’s kids

Here’s someone who posted in the UK forum how they sent documents. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/789663-frustrated-post-k1-interview/ The embassy also writes this in the FAQs on their website I've had my interview, I was asked to submit some missing documents, how do I do that? If you have been asked to submit your passport or any additional documents, you should log on to your account via https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb and print off a Courier-in Receipt

Great. You do not need a job or a tax return because you have somebody sponsoring you. Your fiancé will fill out the form. The important parts are the ones about the “Individual Agreeing to Financially Support the Beneficiary” where he will list his income. He doesn’t really need to list his assets if his salary is over the required threshold. For proof of income for a K1 London, He should get an employer letter, recent pay stubs, or provide a tax return…whatever is easiest for him to provide. You don’t need all three.He doesn’t need a bank letter unless he doesn’t have enough salary and needs to use assets to get over the threshold. You in the UK provide nothing.

This form has many uses. What is your situation? Are you trying to get into the US at the border seeking asylum or refugee status? Are you in the UK and somebody is sponsoring you for a visa? What visa? Filling out a timeline would be helpful. The answer depends on your situation. Please give some more info.

You do not have to provide a transcript in London. They won’t delay your immigration because the IRS is bogged down and hasn’t processed a transcript. Just drop that transcript concern right now. The instructions to Form I-864 have the rules and say— Item Numbers 23.a. - 25. Federal Income Tax Return Information. You must provide either an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) transcript or a photocopy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year. If you provide a photocopy of your Federal individual income tax returns, you must include a copy of each and every Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your returns. Well your spouse’s unique circumstance is that there is no W2 or 1099 that relates to his return. None, so he can’t include one and doesn’t have to. His work was in the UK. You are interviewing DCF in LONDON. They see this situation with their DCF interviews all the time. They know he won’t have a W2 and won’t expect one. What they will expect is what it says in the instructions…a photocopy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year. It makes me nervous when people say “turn in the 1040” because people not familiar with US taxes may be confused by that. A 1040 is the name of just one form. You turn in a photocopy of your Federal Individual income tax return. In your husband’s case he would have at minimum FORM 1040 SCHEDULE 1 FORM 2555 And maybe a Schedule B or D if you have investments. Be sure you take every form and schedule in his return to your interview. Then prove his current income is sufficient with an employer letter from his US employer stating his position and yearly salary. It can be a statement HR prints out instead of a boss writing a letter. He has already gone to the US and started a job hasn’t he? Edit to add: you have been given very sound advice in this thread by Crazy Cat. I think you have been too panicked to digest it yet. I mostly restated the same things he has told you.

I guess they want to make sure you meet the basic requirements before investing in security dives. It is usually quick to run your name through a database to see if they get hits. Most are fine. There are also optional databases which I suspect they run if not native born Brits or those with family ties to terrorist countries. There have been quite a few who are told “approved” at the interview, but then get caught up in the longer AP going through security clearances. I used to have a link describing and naming the database checks but don’t know where that is now. The short term AP is quite normal when they are just shuffling papers preparing to approve. When your CEAC status changes to “Issued”, then you know you are approved.

You’re lawyer doesn’t know London. Everybody gets that. It will change in a few hours or maybe tomorrow. If it still says that in 2 weeks, then you can worry. And you have not actually been formally approved yet. They still run security checks

Not such a big deal in London. They generally want none of that at the interview.

That is punctuated or stated poorly poorly. They don’t have time to muse or gossip over your life…”Hmmm, that certainly was a quick turnaround”. Doesn’t matter as long as you meet the requirements.
