Poor Marina is scheduled for her interview on January 11th and is so scared i think she will have a mental breakdown or drop 30 lbs from not eating. Well the brerakdowen anyway, she loves those cakers too much to stop eatring those.

Anyway, she is asking for crazy information from me to study and memorize for the interview. LIke my whole life history with dates, birthdays of every relative. hell, I don't even know them!

I assume they will not ask any information that they don't have and the only info they have is whatever we put on the forms. Anything else they wouldn't know if the answer was true or false. Am i correct on that? Iwould like to ut her mind at ease but i know she will still worry till sher gets that visa in her little hand.

Anna finally started to relax when I got her in contact with someone who had been through this process. I actually asked for volunteers on this forum and they wrote emails back and forth. I have to say I think it was very re-assuring for Anna and helped her understand what was going to happen.

Paul misses Anna

HI ALL,

THE INTERVIEW IS A PIECE OF CAKE....

ALL THEY ASKED MY THEN FIANCEE WAS THE I134

ALSO THEY ASKED HOW WE MET

ALSO ABOUT MY PREVIOUS MARRIAGES

ALSO ABOUT MY SON

IT WAS VERY SIMPLE BUT...

YES, DINA WAS VERY NERVOUS TOO...

IF YOUR FIANCEE NEEDS ASSURANCE, SHE CAN E-MAIL MY WIFE ABOUT ANY INTERVIEW QUESTIONS...

SIE ME (US)

They do ask questions that they don't have the answers for. I know in the case of my former fiancee they asked several. I think she is wise in asking a lot of questions. Make sure she knows your address in the USA. They do have that and do ask it and it was one of the questions my former fiancee couldn't answer. One of the others she missed was one they did not have the answer for.

I have seen some interviews where the only question was "how are you today" Others can be a grilling with them asking for relatives names (even though they don't have them) zip codes, phone number you name it.

I do not know about the Moscow embassy, but I have heard other COs can sometimes expand on the questions based on the information they have from the petition. They may not know the correct answer but they seem to be looking for how the beneficiary responds. I'm sure she will do fine. I imagine the beneficiary's hear so many stories - some true and some not- that it only adds to the stress.

If she can get over her nervousness, and when she does provide an answer she should answer confidently as they probably look for weakness in the voice and if the answer is weak then they may decide to ask more and more questions....

YMMV

I am sure Tanja would be happy to email back and forth to answer whatever questions you might have about the interview time. She was extremely nervous as well, and it all turned out ok. Just try and relax a little =)

Poor Marina is scheduled for her interview on January 11th and is so scared i think she will have a mental breakdown or drop 30 lbs from not eating. Well the brerakdowen anyway, she loves those cakers too much to stop eatring those.

Anyway, she is asking for crazy information from me to study and memorize for the interview. LIke my whole life history with dates, birthdays of every relative. hell, I don't even know them!

I assume they will not ask any information that they don't have and the only info they have is whatever we put on the forms. Anything else they wouldn't know if the answer was true or false. Am i correct on that? Iwould like to ut her mind at ease but i know she will still worry till sher gets that visa in her little hand.

While I am not superstious I do not think I should buy the plane ticket just yet. Anna wants to give her company two weeks notice. While her immediate supervisor was very difficult she still respects everyone at the company and wants to leave on a good note. My guess is the earliest she would fly out would be on the 19th or so of Feb. Of course these are just my hopes but we have to talk about it and figure out what works best.

PEOPLE: READ THE APPLICATION FORM INSTRUCTIONS!!!! They have a lot of good information in them! Most of the questions I see on VJ are clearly addressed by the form instructions. Give them a read!! If you are unable to understand the form instructions, I highly recommend hiring someone who does to help you with the process. Our process, from K-1 to Citizenship and U.S. Passport is completed. Good luck with your process.
