Hi.. sorry for the late reply as I havent been on in a few days.

Here is everything that we took...

Copies of all documents submitted to USCIS and NVC including all forms, proof of income, etc.

Additional translated & certified copy of Marriage License, Birth Certificates, Police Certificates etc.

Photos of all of our meetings and travels, photos of wedding and reception, and photos of me with his family and friends. I had these all in a scrapbook and place a few in the back that were not mounted to the book in case the CO wanted to keep a few for our file.

Phone records (select a few months since you began dating)

Email & chat records (Again just pick some from each month since you met)

As far as how the interview went you can read my detailed review posted on the Georgia portal. We were only asked a few questions...

How did you meet?

Where I work, what kind of work I do, and how much I make per year

How many times have I been to Tbilisi

Have we ever been married before

Then he asked to see our pictures (I didnt give them to him I just flipped through some pages and he smiled and said it looks like we have had some great times together already!

Then he said we were approved! That was it!

They seemed to have all of the documents they needed as we did not have to provide them with anything. I would still take extras just in case though.

Thanks a lot for the details. How come you were both at the interview? Are they going to ask me to join my wife for the interview?

As for the documents, we sent certified translations to NVC (marriage, birth certificates for wife and her sone, and divorce certificate) but they said they need the originals. So we ahve sent in the originals too.

We have got skype and chat records and all, but they are all in Armenian because that's the language we speak to each other. I wonder if that's going to be a problem.

Nope no problem! All of our records were in english as well except for a "Garmajoba" or "Me shar mxvarkar" or a "dzili nebisa" here and there lol. They honestly never even asked for any of our chat records. Just asked to see pictures of wedding and of us together over time.

We had sent in translated certified appostilled documents and had no problems. They did ask for our original marriage license at the interview which I had with us along with all other originals. Also be sure to ask for all of your originals (or certified copies) back at the interview! They gave us ours back and just made copies for their files. They are tooo expensive to get done not to get them back!

I went to the interview by choice... it was not required. But to be quite honest I think that me being there made everything very quick and easy. They were able to watch our interactions and see our love for each other was real and genuine. Also, as soon as we received his passport with visa in it we flew back to the USA with all of his belongings 2 days later. I wanted to help him with all of this and enter the USA with him to assist in the nightmare of immigration and customs. I wouldnt have done it any other way! But I have seen others who dont attend and ship their spouses here by themselves. I just couldn't do that to my man!

Hot Mama, thank you for the information. this is helpful. It turns out after all our case is closed, but we have to wait for our priority date. I thought as soon as case is closed and interview will be assigned, but... we have to wait a long time. But whenever that happens I will try to include myself in the interview, go to Georgia and be present at the interview. What you are saying makes a lot of sense to be with your spouse at such a critical juncture...

Thanks!
