hi alizeyah. i got a pink slip for document verification and visa delivery.

luvu2allday, i feel privileged to have broken your record. hehe.

good luck on your journey jamster!

i texted delbros and asked about the status of my document verification (i'm THAT impatient) but I haven't received a reply yet.

i saw a lot of people who brought their x-rays. i'm not sure about the IR1 interview, but for the k3 interview, it's not needed at all.

btw, for those whose interview was delayed because of the medical, please don't forget to bring the half sheet provided by the SLEC. the girl infront of me didn't bring hers and i think she was asked to come back and reschedule.

DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR DELBROS DOCUMENT VERIFICATION RECEIPT! the pre-screener (or was it the immigrant visa ticket booth?) asked for it.

Better to be prepared than sorry.

yes i agree. i didn't really mind lugging all the stuff. You never really know what they're going to ask for. There was a girl before me who was interrogated to the max. She brought her husband along but he wasn't allowed in the interview room. I think it's because of the their age gap. Their interview took 15 minutes and the consul asked for additional evidence.

I'll be compiling a list of interview tips and on what to do and what to bring to the interview, based on what i've experienced and from what I've observed.

Better to be prepared than sorry.

pushbrk reminded me of perhaps the main reason why the co-sponsor was accepted. although my husband just started on his job, i provided his most recent paystub. Quoting pushbrk, "Although I have heard of pre-screeners not accepting a second I-134, in most cases it's the actual CO who denies the visa on public charge grounds. In this case, the petitioner offered evidence he can now support the beneficiary. You don't mention pay stubs (Perhaps the job was too new.) but the notarized job offer would appear to be the key to satisfying the public charge concerns. Let's not assume the co-sponor had anything to do with the decision to grant the visa. Nothing you say indicates that."

I think it's important to provide orginals, as the phootcopy of the letter of employment was not accepted. The notarized job offer and original paystub helped.

so that was it! i was carrying 2 huge bags crammed with paperwork and evidence, and i only got to use like 5% of it.

What a mirror-image of what others elsewhere go through. Congratulations, and count your blessings.

Helloo daisy! Congrats! i will answer YES question number 36...hehehe coz ur done already!!! thanks alot daisy!!!

i forgot to add that i stepped out of the embassy at approximately 11 a.m. so all in all, it took 4 hours, 95% of which was spent waiting in line. hehe.

btw, they prioritize the elderly, disabled and applicants with children. (omg you have no idea how restless children can get. maybe they prioritized the children because they were getting cranky and noisy. the US embassy officer asked everyone to please maintain silence because interviews were ongoing. tell that to the kids. heheh.)
