At the consulate, do I need to bring all the evidence again?

The EB-2 NIW process involves several stages and, during the consular interview, there may be specific document requests.

As a general rule, many of the documents you have already submitted and that are part of your initial file, such as recommendation letters, diplomas, publications, and evidence of professional experience, are already included in the approval of your petition with USCIS. However, it is recommended that you bring the originals and, if possible, notarized copies of these documents on the day of your consulate interview.

It is important to highlight that each consulate may have particular guidelines. Therefore, before your interview, check the updated instructions provided by the consulate or embassy where your interview will take place. This way, you will know whether you should bring all the documents or only some specific ones.

Remember that the clarity and organization of your file can contribute to a smoother process. Furthermore, strictly following U.S. immigration laws is essential. Always seek an official channel or a trusted company that provides guidance tailored to your case, avoiding scams or false promises of guaranteed results.

Preparation and precise compliance with requirements help increase the security and transparency of your process. Stay informed and, if possible, contact the consulate or consult official sources to clarify any specific doubts about the necessary documentation. This will better prepare you for the interview and for continuing your immigration process in the United States.
