hey jenn, i'm not sure what your particular "strikes" are, but i was worried about a few things for our interview as well - we're both divorced, my fiance has kids, and my divorce was not final until way after we met and even after he proposed. (not sure if anyone else has gone through divorce but it takes a long time).

anyway, yes they did ask me questions and it was a very good thing that i was there. i'll post in more detail a review this weekend, but i'll try to put the basics. My honey got called up to the interview window three times. the first time, we went up there and they guy at the window wouldn't let me stay with jose, he made me go sit down. i was worried at this point because i had put together all the paperwork - but luckily we had gone over everything the night before and jose luis knew where to find everything. the consul asked him just a few questions - what's my name, when did we meet, they asked if he'd been to the US (no), if he's applied for visitor visa before (yes), and if he had family in the states (he said yes, but distant cousins and he doesn't know where they live). the last question was important because it was info from his visitor visa interview and of course that had to match. the guy took jose's birth cert, marriage/divorce cert, police record, passport photos, payment receipt, medical envelope, ds-156 & ds-156k, and the affidavit of support stuff. i'll detail that out separately. then he gave back a few items from my original packet (don't know why) and then he asked if we had more photos. jose luis gave him the 3 books. the guy asked where they'd been made and jose luis told him i made them in the states.

okay sorry this is longer than i expected...the second time jose got called up, it was with the same guy and again i was not allowed to join. it was basically some followup questions centered around his kids. if he had kids (yes), how old are they (9, 13), are they coming (no), why not (they live with their mom) and then jose mentioned he hopes they could maybe come visit him someday in the US.

then the third time it was an interview with someone else and we both went up there. (btw both the previous interactions were in spanish). as soon as we got up there the woman asked jose luis in english what year we met. i think jose was nervous and not expecting to have to speak english so he didn't respond. the woman quickly asked again, annoyed, and then turned to me and said a bit angrily "ma'am, what year did you meet?" so then i jumped in and started answering stuff. she asked me what year we met, then what month. then she asked me if i speak spanish (i'm guessing she assumed jose luis couldn't speak english since he sort of froze up when she spoke it to him. i was definitely worried about this.). i said yes, some. she asked if we communicate in spanish, and i said that when we talk, it is usually in english but when we write each other it is in both spanish and english.

then she asked me what was the reason for my divorce. she asked jose luis the reason for his divorce (now she was asking him questions in spanish). he was not specific and she pushed him for more. then she asked him what countries we have traveled to together. then she asked me how many times i have been to ecuador. she asked me what our plans were for the wedding. she seemed interested when i mentioned wanting to get married on the beach so i babbled for a second more about that. then she asked jose luis first and then me if we had kids. (though she had already asked me that after the divorce question). she asked jose luis for a second time if he had family in the states. then she asked me what i do for a living. jose luis says she totally changed when I talked about my job (in a good way) but i didn't actually notice. after a moment or two she started shoving the enormous volumes of paper i had included in the original submission through the window slot, and then finally she said "your visa is approved" and gave us the wonderful purple paper. i was so happy i kissed jose luis and i think i might have finally seen her crack a smile.

i can detail out everything evidence wise we brought, if that helps. let me know.

as far as the financial support evidence, this is what they took (i had brought more than this):

- I-134 form

- all the paystubs i had provided (i get paid weekly, so i included all weeks of dec, plus the first week of sep, oct & nov)

- my w2 and tax transcript for 2008

please let me know if you have any other questions for me, i am happy to help!

i am so excited for you! everything will go great.

paciencia y fe, my interview is on March 29 and as far as the financial support is conecerned I will have by then my w-2 and financial transcripts for 2009, paystubs for the last 3 months, a letter from my job stating the natur of my work and how much I make a year ($32,000), a letter from my bank stating how much I have deposited within the last year, and a letter from a live insurance policy that I have from my job in the amount of $64,000.00. Do you think that will suffice, or should I also take with me the taxes from 2007 and 2008 also, plus bak statements for the last three months? Thanks in advanced for you answer!

Thanks Jenn & Maggie. I do hope that we are the only ones that can view because I'm not very well clothed in a few a them (lol). I love it, you can actually see the tape over the captions & my big plaid heart but I didn't want it to be perfect, hopefully that will blow the CO away and he/she will scream "approved"

Yea Maggie I can't believe it's coming and I'm ready because I packed and took out my outfit!

When I sent in ours, I sent in the Tax Transcripts for 2007 and 2008 as well. You can get tax transcripts free, by calling the IRS 800 number. I had mine within 3 days. I can't find the number, but I know someone on the main threads would have it.

I think the form only said you needed one year if you met the guidelines, but I sent three just in case.
