Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / April 2006K1 visa interview May 2nd in London
And goodness, I'm terrified. I've already been for the medical and it wasn't as bad as I'd feared (and had nightmares about!) but now my interview is getting near and I'm getting nervous! Just to get this straight: In addition to the checklist of things needed (police clearance, passport, etc etc) I also need to take the originals of ALL the evidence I sent for the petition phase?? I only thought about this today, and the FAQ basically says it... Problem is, Jason still has a couple of the letters and things... will this be a major problem? I have photos galore, plane ticket stubs, letters he sent to me, cards he gave me... They're not going to like, be funny if I don't have all the originals of everything I ever sent them... right? I have ALL the other things (that are applicable to me) on the checklist, so I hope this doesn't present a problem. Argh, I'm terrified, give me some reassurance please! -Synth > And goodness, I'm terrified. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > -Synth Hi Synth, Don't worry...I'm pretty sure they won't mind if you're missing one original from the I-129F package. :) Judging from other who have gone through the London embassy, it should be quick and painless, and afterwards you'll wonder why you were so nervous. Best Wishes, Rene > And goodness, I'm terrified. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > -Synth First off, don't be! It's been a while since I had my K1 interview in London, but it really was a pleasant experience, and a breeze! I'm sure it'll be just the same for you :) When is your interview? Hopefully you have originals of all the important documents (approval notices, etc.) that you will need. What are you missing? I believe I took some originals of my 'evidence', but not everything. You'll be just fine, and hopefully it won't be long before you're looking back, wondering what you were worried about! ;) Best of British to you! Karen :) > First off, don't be!

The whole "bring originals of what you submitted" is confusing to me as well, since copies of things like my birth certificate and passport were sent in my I-129F packet. > My fiance is planning for his interview in London as well- I assume he > doesn't need the original of certain documents, like my US birth [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > were sent in my I-129F packet.

I think the original birth certs (long form) for both the sponsor and applicant are required. >>My fiance is planning for his interview in London as well- I assume he >>doesn't need the original of certain documents, like my US birth [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I think the original birth certs (long form) for both the sponsor and > applicant are required. In Paris I was asked for an "original" document. I told the officer "That is the best we have." It was a copy. We were approved with no problem. If you are really worried, and you probably shouldn't be, have Jason send you what he has. It might be expensive, but you should be able to get documents in a matter of days. If you can't do that you will just have to tell the officer that Jason has them. You might have to come back for another interview, but I can't see that they would deny the visa at this point. > >>My fiance is planning for his interview in London as well- I assume > >>he [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > can't > see that they would deny the visa at this point. Hi: I happen to agree that the worst that will happen will be that she will be asked to submit more documents. However, on the pedantic side, I find your last sentence puzzling -- how can she be asked in for another interivew if her visa is not denied?  SignatureCertified Specialist Immigration & Nat.

Sorry, Mr. F. I understand you being puzzled, but I'm not sure exactly how to word my answer. Of course, she could be denied a visa at this interview because of the lack of paperwork. I added "at this point" to mean that she would be called back for another interview later once she got the paperwork that is missing. Yes, the visa would (or could) be denied at the first interview, but it would not be a "don't call us. We will call you" type. It would simply be another step in the process of approval or denial. Now, I have one for you. Why are original documents called "original"? All of my "originals" were just certified copies. I don't think many people have the original of their birth certificates or marriage certificates. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the only original document I have is my DD-214 and I filed a copy with the clerk of the court. All my other documents are certified copies and I have no idea where the originals are. Is it just the "best evidence rule"? Sorry to wander a bit off topic, but I have wondered about that. CT, The word 'origianl' can be used in either an absolute or a relative sense, and in this context it's often the latter. Whatever one put's on the glass of the photocopy machine can correctly be called the original for the photocopy that is produced from it, even when said original is itself a copy. If one wants to avoid confusion, then one needs to be more explicit than simply saying 'original' and 'copy'. Regards, JEff > Sorry, Mr. F. > .... Why are original documents called "original"?

Hi: OT, but I've always like the phrase "duplicate original". ;) SignatureCertified Specialist Immigration & Nat. Law Cal.

I remember it being pretty harmless. As long as you have some evidence it's no big deal. Only issue I had, was the fact you could sit, watch and listen to everyones interview. So you get an idea while waiting of how it's going to go. Good luck |
