Is there a place on here, or does somebody know specific items that a benficiary will need when they go for their interview? I know that they will be sent a list, when the time comes, but I was hoping to get a head start on everything.

My fiancé has a copy of everything that we have sent in and I know he'll have to get a criminal history/doctor's appointment, but what else should he start to get ready?

Thank you all in advance! (:

(Organizer hat off)

This will vary somewhat by consulate. One thing, for sure, is that the petitioner should send the beneficiary an exact replica of the now-approved petition package. This is so that the beneficiary can be intimately familiar with what was stated (and can answer the consul's questions accordingly) and can reach into the materials for any form or document that the consul might ask about.

The best practice is to go atop any VJ page, click the links for "Embassy Info" (for starters) and "Reviews: Embassy" (for recent experiences), and read carefully. Under the first link, you'll find the basic requirements, and under the second link, stories about what else might have been asked for.

You might also visit the actual consulate's official webpage.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").
