Dont worry SJ you will get a schedule date soon.. I dont think they go with when your case has been completed. My case was completed on April 12th( I think my case was completed before Hobo's)

I am sure you will get the June date.

I sure hope so, even though it scares me even more when you say that you were done April 12th and u still got June 29th...wonder what the NVC's thinking...:unsure:

Argh! Just realized now my FIL sent only the biographic page of his passport along with his co-sponsor package.

Does he need to prove he is a US citizen or only that he is the father of my husband?

I'm making some sort of confusion because I read somewhere you have to send either the whole passport copies or the birth certificate. Is that the case?

Both. The biographic page of his passport proves that he is an USC.

And your husband's BC should prove his relationship with his father.

I think I remember reading the same thing when it came to proving you're a citizen for purposes of the I-130. I do however vaguely remember reading somewhere that you don't have to send copies of the rest of the pages if there are no visas present.

Though to be honest, I couldn't imagine why it would make any difference either way for purposes of proving the person is a citizen.

In all, I would imagine that's something they would have caught before assigning you an interview. And just as a back up, bring the entire copy with you to the interview in case they ask.

Sorry, I know it's not a definite answer; I guess it's what I would do though.

Ok, I think I'm over thinking this!

I'll bring the biographic page. I really don't feel like asking my FIL to scan all pages of his passport. Then if needed, I'll ask and mail it to the Embassy.

Oh God! Now that it's getting closer I can't stop thinking about it!!!!!! I always think that I'm forgetting something!!! :bonk:

Thanks guys!

You are right. I need something to do or this weekend will be a big dud for me thinking about this interview thing. I was about to buy a new phone, maybe I'll do just that and start playing with it and customizing it. Anyone here play with the HTC HD2?
