Photographs and i-864 for the interview in Brussels

[SamF 0]

Hello!

Sorry if this has already been answered in another topic, I searched for a while, then gave up.

I was finally given an interview date in the embassy in Brussels!

I sent all my civil documents to NVC with my DS-230 a little while ago. I was the required to complete a DS-260, and was eventually given an interview date. In my appointment letter, it says in the document cheklist that "The NVC sent this form or document to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate". Should I bring two more photographs with me anyway, or will those two suffice?

The letter does not mention anything about the i-864. Does it mean it was already approved and I don't need to bring it with me to the interview? We rely solely on my assets (immigrant) as my wife is a student. Do I need to bring new bank statements with me?

Thanks a lot for your time, sorry if those questions were already asked somewhere else, and if they sound dumb, but we started this process ten months ago, and we're finally see it coming to an end!

P.S. Does anyone know if the photograph I need to bring to the medical examination can be of European format? The medical office told me she thought so, as nothing was specified, but she didn't really seem to know...

Yes you need passport size pics (white background US measurements) for interview and medical.

It wouldn't hurt to bring up to date financials since you say you are using solely assets.

Not approved NVC merely reviews and accepts our documents. Final decision is the CO's at embassy.

To get case complete you submitted all that was asked and required.

Congratulations on date. I will add you to case complete interview thread.

Yes you need passport size pics (white background US measurements) for interview and medical. --> Will do, I just made 4 new ones (£19.99! Ripoff!)

It wouldn't hurt to bring up to date financials since you say you are using solely assets. --> Will do too, it shouldn't be too hard to print a couple of bank statements, especially if it can get everything validated

Not approved NVC merely reviews and accepts our documents. Final decision is the CO's at embassy. --> that sucks! We were hoping they approved it, and the CO was merely reviewing it. Since my wife is no longer working (back to school), it's just my salary (in the UK, so doesn't count), and my assets. Let's keep all the fingers crossed!

To get case complete you submitted all that was asked and required. --> Everything was submitted, should be fine at the interview, I heard they're very nice in Brussels

Congratulations on date. I will add you to case complete interview thread. --> CAN. NOT. WAIT.

A little update that can be useful to some:

The medical facility in Brussels (there's only one, so you don't really have a choice, unless you go to Antwerpen) asked me to bring one picture, as mentioned above. However, once there, the radiologist took one of me with his camera, and asked me to give him one. Then, the physician took another one. I'm glad I made four of them, so I still have two left for the interview (on top of the two I sent with my DS-230).

Everything went fine for the medical exam, I brought my French "Carnet de santé", and the doctor was apparently used to it, and found all the info he needed in there (not so sure it'd work that smoothly in Antwerpen.

Hope that helps a few people!
