Interview tommorow.....Last questions

[lostinpaperwork 0]

Finally, we are so close. The interview in tommorow morning and I just have a last few questions

1) Do I need to make a copy of my tax return and W-2, or will the original be OK?

2) I read something about needing "one photo"....I remember reading that besides the TWO 5X5 or 5X7 (CM) and the evidence of relationship photos that I need "one photo"...The post said something about "Polaroid is OK". Any idea if I need this, and if yes, what the requirement is?

3) Do we need to bring the X-ray with us to the interview? I imagine the doctor looks at this and provides an analysis to the consulate in the sealed medical packet, but I don't know if I need it for the Interview itself

4) I kow I will need the vaccination records (193???) for AOS, but where are they? Are they in the sealed medical envelope? Do I need to request something before we leave Brazil? Does the medical package get returned to us after the interview?

5) I never received Packet 3 or 4, and the only item I received from the consulate (at my request) was the list of necessary documents. I-156K was not on that list, but I thought I needed it for some reason

I really cannot find the words to thank everyone here for all of your help and support throughout this process. I love you guys.

1. Make a copy and bring the original, they might want to keep the copy.

2. You need to 5x7 frontal photos, white backgroud, both ears showing, no glasses. I think the one photo was the one sent in packet 3.

3. You won't need to x-ray anymore, all the results are inside the sealed envelope given at the medical.

4. You were supposed to ask the doctor during the medical to make a copy of the record for you. Now the record is inside the sealed envelope and you won't have access to it anymore. You can try contacting the doctor to see if he's got the record still, although they usually don't keep that.

5. You do need DS-156K filled out and brought to the interview. Remember the forms your bring to interview are not to be signed, as you'll be doing that in front of the consular. If you signed any, fill them out again.

You should have the interview letter from packet 4 with you but you can explain that it was never delivered and they should let you in.

Good luck tomorrow and don't worry, if you have all documents in order, have been honest and have a bonafide relationship, the interview will be a piece of cake!

Thanks for the response.

Regarding the sealed medical envelope, you say "I won't have access to it anymore". Does the consulate keep it?

I will try talking to the doctor tommorow, after the interview, since he is accross the street from the consulate.
