Would this be a good idea for the interview?

Hello all!!! Well, all documents have been sent... With any luck I will be recieving the email with the interview when the case number becomes current in the following months...

I'm already planning the interview and all the documents I have to send. I was wondering, would it be advisable or any help at all to have some letters from cousins and/or uncles who are U.S. citizens that state that they will make sure I'm ok over there if I'm granted the visa and that they will help me get on track or something like that?

I have heard of such letters but I'm not sure how does it work, for instance I have heard of people writing a letter of recommendation or something like that to the corresponding U.S. Consular office where they asked for the tourist visa of a very dear friend of theirs to be approved since it was rejected priorly and they wanted to have her for a visit in the US.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Ivan

Don't even try that. It would be a big liability for you to obtain a tourist visa. Such visa will be process and approve and/or deny on its own merit. Hopefully this advice will be seriously taken into consideration. Good luck in your endeavors.

A letter will be meaningless. There is something called an affidavit of support - I think the form is I-134 - where someone undertakes to support you financially if necessary. These are generally only necessary if you can't demonstrate to the consular officer,either through education or assets, that you won't become a public charge.

If she's listed him as a derivative, which presumably she has, then yes. It states this on the appointment letter too so I'm not sure why she's asking...

Extract from the letter (assuming it's the same as last year):

"The applicant and all members of the family must appear at the appointed date and time for your interview."

That depends entirely on what kind of a visa she is applying for.

It is advisable (and polite) to start your own thread.

.

Considering this is in the DV forum I assume it is a DV interview.

Of course there is the option of the husband not accompanying her, but then he can't get a derivative visa.
