Put a big red approved next to our name. Visa is supposed to arrive in the morning. The interview was a breeze, even though my fiance about fainted. They did ask about him being sent back with the VWP but no problems.

Well done and congratulations with all the approvals - its feels good to know everyone got approved - I'm still awaiting my interview but even though most of you say its pretty much pain free, I am still so nervous about it!!! :blush:

Did any of you have co-sponsors??? That's what I am most nervous about as we have to use one. I am still waiting for Roshon and his Mom to send me the stuff through :whistle: I've told them notarized I-134, letter from bank with years deposits, date account opened and current balance, a couple of pay stubs and letter from employer??? Have I missed anything (I know this is probably the most asked question on VJ!)

Roshon is still at college and is on a scholarship so the letter from employer just states his scholarship money - does this sound right?

Thanks for any help/reassurance!

Samantha :star:

Right, quick question for you guys. I've gotten everything to send James for the I-134 but the only glitch is my bank letter doesn't detail my last years deposits, they said they couldn't do it! They said the only way was for me to pay for $3 for each statement for the past 12 months and then count up the credits myself! Should this be a problem? My co-sponsor more than qualifies just with his job, plus we've got employer letters and I'm including some paystubs so they see we really do make money!

They only looked at the amount my fiancee earned and said 'you are more than ok here'. Nothing else was looked at.
