• Police Certificate(s)
• Birth Certificate(s)
• Court and prison records, if applicable
• Military records, if applicable
• Color photographs
• Marriage Certificate, if applicable
• Evidence of financial support (e.g. Affidavit of Support, a notarized offer of employment, or evidence of assets)
• Divorce decree or death certificate of spouse, if applicable
• Family-based cases: All original documents used to establish the relationship between the petitioner and the applicant
• Employment-based cases: A recent letter from the prospective employer confirming the essential elements of the job offer

Note: All documents not in English or in the official language of the country in which the interview takes place MUST be accompanied by a certified translation into English. Translations must be certified by a competent translator and sworn to before a Notary Public.
