Yeh, no tie necessary, just a nice pair of slacks and a button front shirt. Dockers and a button up shortsleeve maybe?? I'd say definitely no jeans or t-shirts.

Awesome!! thanks for the help :D

Agree..........Tie is probably an over kill. Just jeans and T-shirt is a no no. Business casuals would be way to go.

Hi guys!

Lot of things going on here!!

Melody -> You got a lot of proof of relationship. I heard your consulate can be tough, so I think you got it covered girl!

About the clothes I think I'll wear a nice white shirt, black pants (social style) and peep toes shoes, not so high, just nice. Hubby will wear button down shirt, black slacks and dress shoes.

BB -> Yes, we got all the package ready with all the documents and bonafide marriage proofs. I'll take a picture and post here to show you guys! :P

Gina -> I heard Alicia went down to Jamaica to attend the interview with her hubby. I don't know what they have decided, but they are going to the interview. So let's keep her name on the list :)

PS- My interview will be on May 13th at 6:15am US EST time.

Edited by mrs. wife!

Do it! I wanna see! I bet you look gorgeous.

Is Alicia's hubby doing the interview, should we take her off the list?

I don't think quite yet. She's our sister; there's no way we can take her off.

I have a questions do you thinks is it ok to bring just 50 pics of wedding and 50 pics of others? is that enough? did u put any captions in there?

I say bring all you've got, but only submit around 80 to start. And yes, I put captions.

Oh good, I'm glad she did that!

I was worried because I thought if she came to check our progress and saw her date on the list it might make her sad....but heck yeah, let's leave her on :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: She's part of the old skool jinxed as he**- RFE overloaded-one more weather/holiday/natural disaster delay- TEAM NVC!!
