Gemmie - Just to give you some peace of mind. I also put I do not intend on my I-134 for my husband and my dad (our co-sponsor) put I intend .. room and board. and there were no problems at all at the interview.

Good Luck to all the up coming interviews!

Good luck guys for tomorrow!

All the best to Gemmie and Monkey Juice for tomorrow!

OK ... Mine has no ticks ... and underneath it says N/A (K1 visa process for permanent residence) We don't have co-sponsors.

Is what we have ok? Or should I tick something??? HELP!!!

A select few COs have questioned the no tick, but many more of us have done the exact same thing your form says with success. Good luck with it and don't worry about it now.

ooooh I'm sat in my hotel on Park Lane. Mike has treated me to a night in The Hilton!! That was a lovely surprise. I can see the Embassy from my window, the flag is flying high!

I'm so nervous. I'm off to have a glass of wine to calm my nerves!

[Gemmie 142]

I'm nervous too, MJ. I wish you all the luck!! I hope we both come back with good news..

I can't believe the interview is here already. Even though it's been a long wait, at the same time, this is it!

I'm leaving at 4:30am from Bath.. I'm looking for directions from Victoria, though I imagine it's really easy. And I assume this Gould Pharmacy is really close and obvious?

I am SO nervous now. I know it's supposed to be a piece of cake, but I'm still scared, picturing worse-case scenarios and what-not. I'm sure MJ is the same?

I hope I'm able to read a book while I wait.

See you tomorrow, guys!!

You're going to be absolutely fine.

I know it's been said lots of times before, but once you've had the interview, you really will think "was that it?".

You can read my experience here (scroll down to "Marty J").

Good luck to both you and Gemmie!

Just got back & would like to say we are APPROVED!!!!

OMG! I was a nervous wreck waiting for my number to be called & I'm so glad I went at 7.30am for a 9am appointment. I was number 5002 and that took 1 hour & 15 mins to be called to the 1st window. I was only asked for Passport, 2 pics, Birth Cert, Police Cert, I-134 & 2008 tax return. Didn't even ask for the W2'a or 1099's.

Then I sat back down & waited 45 mins to be called for interview. Had the lovely, smiley American guy. He asked lots of questions but if you know your fiance well, it'll be fine. He said the docs were all in order & he was delighted to approve my visa! woo hoo!!

I'm so relieved & it defo wasn't an anti-climax for me! Though I so glad this part is over. Next step...POE Chicago!
