Yes, most likely a different Consulate.

You can contact the Embassy via email and ask them what they will require of you. They are extremely helpful and will tell you what you need.

Michelle's SO is also on disability so she may be able to offer some insight. My thougths are that you will just need a co-sponsor. Hopefully you will be ok and be working by the time AOS comes.

Thanks!

One more question, sorry if I am a pest. . .

On question 7 on the I-134, it says, I am employed as or engaged in the business of ___. . .

Thing is, social security disability isn't a job so do I say none, or none see attached sheet and say where I derive my income from?

i don't recall what Rob put on his form, again i'm at work, usually look at the forums when i'm at work, one of the few sites they let us into.

i'll try and remember to look tonight or tomorrow and let you know.

In regards to Rob's income, he's just given me what he gets from disability, a letter from them saying what he gets now, and what he got last year, he won't be working any time soon as his doctor thinks he needs a lung transplant, and if he eventually does go back to work it would only be part time, we have his parents as joint sponsors as we will be living with them for a while and we have his friend who will be a co-sponsor if needed and we'll have the money from the sale of my house here, i think we now have sufficient financial support/assets that it shouldn't be a problem, at least that's what i'm telling myself, doesn't mean i'm not going to be nervous about it all when it comes to my interview tho.

Now a question from me, does anyone recall how long after they sent packet 3 back they got the letter with the interview date on it? i'm still anxiously waiting.

So sorry to hear about that and thanks for looking into it. I also emailed the embassy, or so I think, hope it was the right addy.

And to your question, there are 5 forms to send back I believe, then also like a checklist and from what ppl have told me through phone calls, it's the checklist you get your appointment from, but I may be wrong. Good luck, hope you get yours soon!

That bit of paper is a list...it says send in these bits at once under part 1, and under part 2 it says sign and send when you have the things ready to interview.

I still have mine, never did send it in, as I did it on email.

you're a godsend Kate, i'm 99.999% sure i sent that back

[Kelvan 0]

Hehe didn't think I'd be the only one. We were saying they should add a page of what needs to be done in better writing or just a page that goes 1. do this, 2. then this, which they kind of do already but it's confusing. And some of the questions are just worded strangely, even for me, an ex-english major lol. But maybe I had difficulty cuz of the ex-major part lol. I tried looking for examples on google but no luck =(

Hey no worries! I had the same conversation with my fiance about how they should make it clearer what to do exactly. Would have saved me a lot of time and stressing out, but oh well! Glad we have a place like this to come to and ask questions

When you have your medical, make sure to take your case number, it starts with an ACK...

Hey guys a question... it says to bring 'evidence of a fiance relationship' to the interview. I thought they had received the first package we sent over in the US with all my evidence. Do I have to redo it all again? Also, what other forms do you recommend (besides plane tickets, itineraries, photos)?

Speaking of Case #'s and Medicals... The NVC gave us a Case # on their letter to me... and then the Consulate gave Genna a DIFFERENT case #,hand written on the top of that checklist form in Packet 3. Which one do we put on the Medical paperwork???

Yes, they have the entire package you sent, the lady that did my interview went over it page by page at the window.

I took the originals of things I'd sent them..the plane tickets, boarding passes, I had some hotel receipts and the like. She didn't ask for them.

I took them some photos that we had taken over the last year from the webcam, since we had filed, and she had a look through those. Never asked for anything else, I think what they are getting at is an ungoing relationship. I had emails, chats printed out from AIM, some cards he's sent...that sort of thing, but she didn't seem to want them.
