Members, Hello again,

My wife received an email for her interview date for October 4th 2011. Can you please help prepare for the interview?

Also Will i receive any package from the NVC or do i just take copies of all documents submitted to the NVC.?

Her interview is the day before our first anniversary on October 5th 2011. I hope the Visa will be a nice present for the anniversary.

Please any advice is very helpful such as the kind of questions asked, the process, the fees to be paid ...

Thanks

NVC will not send you anything, take copies of what you submitted.

Fees related to the visa itself would have already been paid to the NVC. If the passport can only be returned by courier, then there will be a fee for that, otherwise, there should not be a fee to pick up the visa from the Embassy. Hopefully people who have interviewed in Dakar can come along and give you an Embassy specific answer in this regard.
