CR-1 INTERVIEW TOMORROW 07/09/2013 MANILA

[David & Diana R 1,005]

So excited, can't sleep. Wife's interview is tomorrow morning in Manila. We are together again! We just spent a few days with her family in Cebu saying goodbye.....a great time was had by all. Wife is sleeping....I am not. I keep checking the interview appointment letter to make sure it is not this morning. Paranoia is setting in I fear, hahaha. It's been a long and arduous process and hopefully it all comes together tomorrow. The appointment letter list several items but the codes next to the items indicate that all of the required docum ents have already been received and accepted. Marriage certificate, birth certificates, etc... We have a complete set of the entire application with us plus a copy of each and every document, plus original passports, ID's, etc.... Why do I fear that we are missing something? I have read others talking about receiving a few letters after the appointment letter??? All we received was the appointment letter via email with the list of all docs that have been submitted and accepted, etc... Am I missing somwthing here? Just wanna make sure we have everything we need because appointment is set for 6:15 a.m. so we will be heading out of hotel at 4:00 a.m. I guess to line up? Any suggestions??? Aloha Ke Akua

Are we okay? Thanks in advance for the help Darnell.

[Darnell 8,478]

you're probably ok - as you filed right after marriage and you did not generate any material evidence in the usa with both of your names on it.

plus it's Manila, the Vice Consuls there know whats what on scant evidence stuff, and usually just weigh the pile she has in her hand instead of looking at it.

Is interesting you not make mention of trip receipts, though.

anyway - they 6 types of evidence in the I-130 are really specific and focus on things with both of yer names on it.

Here's the list:

1. Documentation showing joint ownership or property; or

2. A lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence; or

3. Documentation showing co-mingling of financialresources; or

4. Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to you, thepetitioner, and your spouse together; or

5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties havingpersonal knowledge of the bona fides of the maritalrelationship (Each affidavit must contain the full nameand address, date and place of birth of the person makingthe affidavit, his or her relationship to the petitioner ofbeneficiary, if any, and complete information and detailsexplaining how the person acquired his or herknowledge of your marriage); or

6. Any other relevant documentation to establish that thereis an ongoing marital union.

Oh - you are going to be there as well? That's great - the Vice Consul might have some good questions for you..
