Hello MQ,

Yes, i heard of this story before in US embassy in the Philippines! But just one story for like years ago, they have pictures and other paperworks and the girl was denied as no video was taken during the wedding. I know it sounds crazy but I don't think i will bring one, too much things to bring!

I don't know, Nancy in the other thread made sense..they would'nt accept it in the I-130 as proof so they shouldn't ask for it at the embassy!!

You know the one thing I don't have record of is all the talking via skype and yahoo!! I just never thought to save any of that.. :blush: I do have some but not almost 2 years of it...perhaps my husband does...I hope!! :unsure: I do have phone records for 2 years though!!!! And text messages!!! :wacko:

There is a way to extract the skype call history from your computer unless you've had to reinstall your operating system or just threw the computer away for a new one... There is a skype call history exporter program available for FREE!! online and you can use that to retrieve your skype "bill" (so to speak)... I had to do this because I mostly used calling cards & the phone bill shows the calling card number.

I got my interview email 19 days after my case complete.....but it was before the 2nd week of the month, in fact it was on the 29th of the month... :whistle:

Is the Cairo embassy usually that busy?? It's understandable having less interview slots available in December due to Christmas and New Years holidays, but it seems weird as to why you hadn't received an interview date for January (maybe due to the lack of interview slots in December, people got pushed into January??)... The Chennai embassy interview wait times seems to be a month and a half from my research here around VJ... :):whistle: hoping to get it on Monday :blush:

Hmm that does seem a long time if you gave it to them a couple of weeks ago...I'd give them a jingle just to make sure they have the correct addres.... :unsure:

Yeah i know...but i also have been told my another member, that we wont send the AOS and DS-230 to the NVC, it will just be taken to the embassy during the interview since we applied for expedited processing during the USCIS leg of the journey. I will call the NVC again and talk to an operator.

Grrrr just got off the phone with them and they said another 10-14 days! #######??? I told them that some people got their case number on the beginning of feb and already have the 3032. this is aggrevating. I guess i will just quit worrying about it. I'm with my wife for the rest of the month. I forgot the tax transcripts at my house anyway. (short time from returning from my deployment until leaving to see my wife...got back to my homestation on 25 jan about midnight and left to come here 30 jan 0700) I will just have to get my wife to sign a 3032 before i leave so I can mail it hardcopy along with her e-mail that she will send.
