Interview Preparation

[turbo2253 0]

Hello, we finally have a date for our interview, April 28, 2008 ! Now, we must reprogram for the interview. We have grown comfortable living together here in the US, and we don’t want to let that affect our preparation. We are prepared for the obvious requested documentation, but we are thinking that we could be skipping something/some things, that are not so obvious to us because it has been almost 2 years since we had to do any real preparation. We are also worried about the appointment letter, because it will be sent to the US, we do not know how long it will take?

We know that we will need to redo the medical exam

We have submitted all the original docs requested by the NVC

We have copies of these docs, so we can get the originals back, MAYBE (we will ask for them)

We had vaccinations, maybe a second will be needed, not Tetnus, but maybe a booster

We have the GIV-24 (K-3) so we can update easily, if that is requested

We have photos of us together with the family in China (before the K-3) and together with my family for the holidays here in the US (post K-3)

We have other evidence from post K-3

What other things do you think might be important for the IR-1 reinterview?

Will it be similar to the AOS interview in the US?

Will they treat us differently because we are doing something out of the ordinary? Will they be STRICTER?

We are looking for help with the things on the edge, and also we would like reassurance of the obvious. Hopefully we have not missed too many things. With your help, we have done well so far, now we are looking for support for the final GAME! Thanks for all your help and support in the past, and for your help now,

Mike & Yizhen

Pretty much whatever they tell you in your P4 paperwork. Treating it like an AOS interview is a good idea, including evidence of co-mingled assets and business mail addressed to both of you.

Our problem is the P-4 is being mailed to our US address, it may not arrive before we leave for China, or if it does come, it may be too late for us to complete before we leave. We are trying to prepare ahead. Mike & Yizhen

I would think you would need the interview letter to get inside the Consulate but in any event, you can download the requirements and docs from GUZ's website.

We/I can get a copy of the appointment letter at the consulate before the interview. Mike & Yizhen

Do you think they will ask why we are returning to China for the IR-1 interview instead of AOS in the US?

"It cost much less, and we want to visit the family!" Is this a good answer? Mike & Yizhen
