Interview Prep for Moscow

[Jamie and Sveta 18]

Hello all!!!

My fiancé (Sveta) will have her interview in Moscow August 29. As far as my financial documents, everything is very well prepared. My only question is about our evidence...

Here is what we have...

About 25 emails dated for various dates.

Skype Logs showing all calls and some messaging.

80 pictures

Scans of our passports showing a vacation in Cyprus.

Hotel receipts (Moscow and Cyprus)

A printed page (from her email) showing all poems and dates that I wrote them.

Calling card receipts and records.

Flight receipts from our trip to Cyprus.

Several cards that I sent to her.

All of her required papers.

Her engagement ring and receipt.

Not to mention email copies of floral receipts and we "front loaded" out initial petition.

Does it seem like enough????

Thanks in advance!!!

That's a lot more than we had. You will be fine. VERY rare to have an AP or denial.

This is a great evidence packet. You covered everything, so don't worry you will be fine.

Sounds good , make sure she knows all about you and your "sordid" background.....and to just be prepared to get asked some purposefully false questions just to gauge her response.

Also maybe include a letter describing your relationship timeline and how you met then met in person and how the relationship blossomed, referencing the evidence as proof.

Hey Jamie, I have been watching your progress for a while. Glad to see you are getting an interview. We obviously haven't scheduled anything yet, but I am curious about the process and interview times. Can you tell me if the date you chose was first available or if you were working with another schedule? Sveta's interview is just under 80 days from your NOA2, so I was wondering if this is typical for interview wait times right now in Moscow. As usual, we are trying to speculate as to when we will be together and also schedule future work things for both of us. The way things are with VSC, who knows when it will be and we keep pushing things back as the weeks go by... Thanks for any information you can provide. I really appreciate it.

That should be plenty, they only looked at a few pictures of Ruzana's and no chat logs

Ok, thanks Baron... very good advise. I actually forgot that I had included a letter (very neatly typed) describing (in one page) our relationship from first conversation through our filing at USCIS. Maybe I should update?

Thanks Ken!!

Sure, not a problem. There were even a couple of dates open next week, according to Sveta, but we needed to time to prepare. Our papers were only at NVC for a few days (on my timeline it may not be exact). All I remember exactly was calling them and getting my MOS### then a few days later received an email from the embassy stating that it was time to schedule her appointment. I know some have said that it was difficult to do, but I went to my bank (used my debit card to pay for her visa) to open my account for Russia, waited 24 hours after (it takes time for them to process payment) and had absolutely no problems scheduling.

Wow, it sure looks like you are prepared. It sounds like you will need a forklift to deliver everything.

Now, start preparing for a really great autumn with your sweetie.

I've heard and read that evidence is not something they really even look at. My fiancee is taking all our pictures together and that's all.

Yeah, I heard that they just glance at it if at all, but I've always lived my the motto "better to have and not need, than to need and not have". Да?
