My Fiancee received her appointment date, packet 3, medical exam info and affidavit of support on the same day. Is this typical? They haven't sent me any affidavit of support or information about paying any bills and I'm going to be supporting her. Was this your experience? Do I need to send her an affidavit of support from the internet or can I bring it to the interview since we already have the appointment date?

Thanks

I´m already against the next war.

Hello everyone!! I am new here, and am also an Aug '08 VSC filer. I have been with my fiance, who is currently waiting in Iran, for 2 1/2 years (even though we've only been "together" for about 2 months).

I just got my approval email two nights ago after 7 1/2 mos of waiting!!!

from everyone's experience here, about how long does it take from the point when the application is approved to when we find out the date of our embassy interview?

Anyone else here filing for an Iranian fiance??

I wish i had known about this site a long time ago, Ive been going crazy without any information or other people to talk to who are going through the same thing! Better late than never I suppose ;)

I haven't seen my love in almost 8 mos, what do you guys do to pass the time and keep from being horrible depressed??

Nice to meet you all, and best wishes for the future!!

Kara

Ok, let's do this all over again as I accidentally closed the window before clicking the 'add reply' button, hahaha.

Congrats on all the good things mentioned in the past few days - a new baby, wedding, birthday, approvals and visas. :)

Nothing new here - I'm preparing for the medical (Monday next week), which means gathering some documents, such as vaccination records and the like. I hope I won't need any extra ones. I also need to get some more stuff for the interview. Police records and whatnot.

Besides that - studying, studying, studying, since I won't be going anywhere without my degree.

Hi, my fiance is from Chile and things in the Peruvian embassy are done similar. I imagine you are the petitioner, so yes it is comon that they get that info with a cover letter saying all that you need to bring to the interview. She has to gather some docs. and bring them to the interview and some others she has to send to the embassy before the interview. They didn't send her an affidavit of support form?. If you are going to be there for the interview then bring the affidavit with you!. Here on VJ is all the info on how to fill the forms (Click Example Forms) and if you got more questions I am here to help.

Take care,

My Fiancee received her appointment date, packet 3, medical exam info and affidavit of support on the same day. Is this typical? They haven't sent me any affidavit of support or information about paying any bills and I'm going to be supporting her. Was this your experience?
