Hello!

I hope everyone is in the best of health! I am a US citizen. I am married to a Tunisian and have been living here since April 2009. On Oct. 20 we went to the embassy to file the petition and were accepted on the spot. Now we are just waiting for the next packet. I was just wondering if anyone could help answer some questions i have?

1st) I will be having my brother as the cosponsor. I have read many places that we both need to provide copies of our past 3 tax returns. But on the embassy website and on the I-864 it says for just the most current year. So I am confused as to what they are actually looking for.

2nd) I know we will have to get the medical exam. We will be doing that when we travel for the appointment as all the dr's are in the capitol which is a 5 hour drive for us. Any ideas on how long the medical exam takes and what exactly it entails?

3rd) Any other words of advice for the nervous couple!!! LOL

In our petition interview the man was very nice! my husband was nervous and his english is not perfect and i think the man was empathetic to that. He laughed a few times with my husband which helped to make things a little less tense. :c) Also is it normal to have your petition approved on the spot like we did? i was told it can sometimes take quite a while.

Thanks so much for any help!!!

you should ask an organizer to move this to the DCF forum, you will get more help there.

good luck
