-## Supporting Documents
-Supporting documents are only one of many factors a consular officer will consider in your interview. Consular officers look at each application individually and consider professional, social, cultural and other factors during adjudication. Consular officers may look at your specific intentions, family situation, and your long-range plans and prospects within your country of residence. Each case is examined individually and is accorded every consideration under the law.
-Caution: Do not present false documents. Fraud or misrepresentation can result in permanent visa ineligibility. If confidentiality is of concern, the applicant should bring the documents to the Embassy or Consulate in a sealed envelope. The Embassy or Consulate will not make this information available to anyone and will respect the confidentiality of the information.
-You should bring the following documents to your interview. Original documents are always preferred over photocopies and you must bring these documents with you to the interview. English translations must be attached to all documents which are in a foreign language. Do not fax, email or mail any supporting documents to the Embassy or Consulate.
