Guess we are finally ready for our interview next week (July 26th in Louisville, KY). :D We went to Indianapolis to get my husbands new passport, his current one had expired. I made copies of the new passport, put in our recent vacation pictures and now I guess there is nothing else to do except wait. I am sure we are taking a ton more than needed, but as everyone on VJ says it is better to be over prepared than under prepared.

Anyone else nervous???

Our interview is on July 27th. Plus I know people who are not on this forum also have interview dates next week. I guess next week is the mass interview week

Someone posted on the website that the sponsor's income should be above the poverty line for all three years. I was a student in 2003 and my income was below the poverty line in that year. Should I get a co-sponsor now. My interview is next thursday. I am suddenly become worried.

Yeah I'm nervous... my husband and stepson did fine at their Consular interview without me, so I'm afraid I'm gonna screw it up somehow!

And my husband has a really bad memory... the other night we went out to eat and he went to the salad bar and when he was done making his salad, he forgot where our table was! :help:

Our interview is also on the 27th. I'll be really glad when it's over.

Best wishes to all fellow AOS'ers...

:luv:

Maya

Many thanks to the Visajourney community for all the help!

Good luck to everyone with interviews soon, and congratulations to those of you who have already been approved. :)

Ours in next Tuesday, the 25th, in Des Moines. I've been collecting bits and pieces over the last couple of weeks but this weekend I'm going to have to sit down and make sure it's all in order and photocopied. We'll be nervous, but we're leaving for Australia on the 1st, so will be equal parts excited, too. :)

They may look at 3 years, I am not sure, but as long as you are currently making what they say you need to support your family then you should be fine.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.
