Great news, my wife & step child passed their interviews. Below are her comments regarding the interview.

hey man how are you? ok this is the exact details today when i went to the US embassy, i went there around 5:45 in the morning and the security guard told us to wait at the waiting area and wait for us to be called our category and after a few moments they called us and fall in the line with the papers that they needed which is the appt.letter and the passport and must be your finished on the medical or else you will reappoint and wait for another interview date, ok when i have my time i gave the papers to the staff there and proceed to the window which we will got our number for our interview. after that we proceed inside and took our seat and wait for our number to be saw on the TV which is there,they will see that! hehehehe. ok and then some staff there called our number for the fingerprinting scanning and after that just the same, seat and wait for the number to be seen on the TV maybe its took for 30 minutes to 1 hour untill i saw mine and princess and we proceed to the windows for the 1st interview and after that assual go back again and wait untill we saw our number again, it took for maybe 45 minutes until i went to the second window and this is the final interview,its the same question on the 1st interview so no need to worry and plus the staff there are nice and polite,ok here we go after a few questions the interviewer told me this word : OK YOUVEd BEEN PASS IN THE INTERVIEW AND WILL RECEIVED YOUR VISA: what a good word for me at last! and after that i seat again ad wait my name to be called for the last whole process,its just nothing only few question about your visas and if you want it to pick it up or just delivered door to door and after that they told me that i can go home and they will just text me if i can pick our visas!,... maybe the whole process took for almost 5 hours but its not so bad is you hear the good news all the sacrifices are all worth it=)

Ok baby thats what happened on us to the US embassy,....heheheheh! soon i will be there baby so you better watch ou man, heheheheeh! hey honey aways take good care of yourself ok and tommorow we will be going home maybe night trip is ok, ok baby i will go now and arranged my stuff for travelling tomorrow, see you soon baby always i love you =) muahh, hey i almost forgot to remind your lunch!

[/quote

My wife had a binder with documentation throughout the whole process just in case. They didnt ask for anything but in never hurts to have just in case they do ask. We had the usual things to prove our relationship, pictures, email chats, chikka chat logs, etc. Just make sure you on time for your appointment, dont forget your Medical CD and appt letters. I had her bring a copy of the NOA2 just in case. Relax you will be okay, dont stress yourself out too much. After this, it wont be long until your with your loved one.

What sort of documents did your wife bring aside from proof of relationship? My wife's interview is next month and she wants to bring copies of what I sent to NVC just in case but, I don't know if it's necessary. Congrats on your wife's visa approval and safe journey to them.
