Please review the interview review posted a page back of this thread and it might help to those who are going for interview soon. Basically, the petitioner and the beneficiary should discuss each and every incidents in their life to prepare for the questions. Also, review each and every question and answer in the forms whatever submitted to USCIS, NVC and Consulate. Get as much as secondary evidences of the bona-fide marriage relationship to the interview, though it may not be asked. It will be helpful!

As I said, you guys were the true inspiration and awesome and I enjoyed it really being with you :star:

I wish you all good sucess in the immigration sailing :thumbs:

Your time like this is not too far, it will happen soon :thumbs:

Congratulations to all those who completed the immigration process, Best wishes to all who are going to complete the process :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Thanks again!
