Ok you guys, since I have time on my hands as I await our Visa delivery. I have scanned & saved in PDF the entire contents of Packet #3 for all upcoming petitioners. How do I post this?

Here it is.............Reading you can see why some of us were worried about the $335 request & side profile shots & I-864. Crazy.

HEY TO ALL MY VJ FRIENDS....YOU GUYS HAVE FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT ME AND SEAN. HE IS IN KINGSTON TONIGHT AND HIS INTERVIEW IS AT 1230. I HAVE BEEN BUSTING MY BUT WITH SCHOOL. I GOOFED WHEN I SENT HIM ALL OF THE FORMS AND EVIDENCE. I DIDNT GET THE 134 NOTARIZED.....BUMMER. I ALSO DIDNT GET THE BANK LETTER FROM MY MOM. IT HASNT COME YET. UUUUUGH. IM READING ALL OF THIS GOOD NEWS STUFF AND NOW I FEEL LIKE IM GONNA BE THE FIRST TO REPORT A BLUE SLIP. DANG IT!!!!!!!!!!!I SENT ALL THE INFO SINCE THURSDAY BY FEDEX OVERNIGHT AND HE STILL HASNT GOTTEN IT YET. WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID IT GOT HELD UP IN CUSTOMS AND HE WILL GET IT IN THE MORNING. WELL I GUESS ITS FAIR TO SAY WE ARE DEFINETLY EXPERIENCING MURPHY'S LAW

Dont give up. Someone over there can notorize the I-134. You may get by without a bank letter if you have some acct info. Remember mine was very odd, they didnt even look at my statements or bank letter. But look at me now. No visa released yet.

Are your attending the interview? I don't think they will be able to notarize it w/o you being present.

I agree. You should also recv the social security card if you elected it on the DS-230. If not you will have to go to the SSA and apply for one.
