At my interview the consular officer asked for additional documents. Isn’t the I-797 approval notice enough?
We recommend that you bring all documents related to your visa status to the interview, such as the full I-129 petition including the letter of support from your U.S. employer, copies or originals of your university degrees, etc. An approved petition is not a guarantee that you will receive a visa. It is the duty of the consular officer to thoroughly examine your documents to make sure that you are eligible for the type of visa that you are requesting.
