Don't bother. They sent us an outdated packet anyway... which arrived after it was too late to work with. The only way to do it is to print it from the website.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

good luck at your interview.

our´s (CR-1) went well and we were inside waiting for 5 hours. we have to present a joint sponsor, so we´re waiting on those documents to arrive to then send to the Consulate (they won´t let us return in person). THey told us we are approved, just awaiting a sponsor that made more in 2007 than I did (because I lived in Ecuador). What´s frustrating is the NVC approved me the whole way through and accepted my current year´s income as sufficient.

Oh well, a little hiccup along the way. At least our interviews went well and were generally pleasant.

bring all the evidence you have. they accepted all of ours and commented on how much we´d brought. all of the folks who interviewed us were very nice and even joked with us a little bit. it helped to calm the already hyped up nerves.

i´m not sure if you already have your tickets purchased or not, but based on delays across the board for K-1 interviews and the recent history of VJ members going through Guayaquil it might be best to wait before buying them.

Amazing, and uncommon.
