January 2014 Interviews

[RedPepper 9]

One thing I know of this process is it will make us all nuts . Common sense ha. When I came to Visajourney June of 2011 I knew nothing. I thought my man gets a stamp in passport to visit me. NOPE!

Than I go get married and thought he is my husband he gets to travel with me right. NOT. Like I am an America what the heck. hehe

High fraud whats that. When I first saw these pages bahing Nigeria I thought OMG. Than I read and researched and read.

There are many phases as you all have witnessed.

1. You wait for NOA2 so excited Even if you prepped and read all about NVC suddenly you have forgotten your own name.

2. You are at NVC and you now know the entire wait message (I miss that voice...hehe). It seems endless. than...............

3. Case Complete OMG you want to run and kiss somebody you are euphoric.

4. Interview date assigned. That P4 is like a golden ticket. Now all the emotions come. And your brain plays with you. Denied what id we are denied. OMG do I bring everything to interview. What will he/she wear does it matter.

Oh the thrill of it all.

Hahahahahahaahaha! That was funny! Nuts it is! Oh, only how I wish I met VJ sooner! I would have already been with my husband this December if only! But I guess its all these thril that keeps heart pumping! Love the excitement, too! At VJ at least you get to be a part of a big supportive community. I am going to stay here a very long time--at VJ I mean.

Have all your stuff in nive folders with tabs for easy findings. I am sure you won't be asked for a thing. Only offer up the money receipts if asked. I am assuming you are the USC/Man and you sent money so CO wouldn't look at it weird. We in Nigeria wouldn't dare show anything whether man or women.

Geez! Looks like ALL is the best thing to do so you don't need to keep coming back if they need something else. I'll make it a one time BIG time one shot deal!!!

Thanks again dwheels76--DOING THIS! Go! Go!Go!

P.S.

I'm the beneficiary of my husband's IR1 petition. Been married 7 years--all this time been living apart,

hell it was and still is difficult. Been together since I was 17--now I am 36!!!

hehehe Just an FYI ***wink wink

[RedPepper 9]

How about if we already send those things to NVC .. Still we need to gather more evidence to the interview.. Or just take all those again which was already sended to NVC .

Yes--need more evidence at the interview.

We just submitted civil documents and my passport photos to NVC.

Joint bank statements, money transfer receipts, call and text logs, emails, post cards, invitations with both names, family photos together, passport stamps and plane tickets during husband-wife visits, etc. Anything and everything that will show that both of you have spent time together as husband and wife--to prove to them that the relationship is valid--these are the things we need to bring to the interview to show that we are indeed REAL husband and wife (We will have to prove them that we are not only joined together in a scam for a green card)

The docs we submitted to NVC is not enough to prove that,

For those of you that bring photos to the embassy interview of you and your spouse together, how many photos would you typically take? And if they're digital, what's the best way to present those? Most of my photos are digital and so I could just print them out on paper as color copies, but didn't know if that was a good idea, or if there are better ideas out there for that. Any better ideas? Thanks!

[JWD531 10]

For anyone that has chat logs on Facebook or Skype, is there an easy way to download that information to take to embassy interview? Or better ideas on how to share that information with embassy for interview?

Interview is the time you can bring everything and the kitchen sink. Most bring photo albums. You can pretty it up and all that. Some bring a sampling. Just make it easy to take out if CO wants a closer look.

My facebook I copied all the emails and messages into a word Doc. It copied our pics and everything just like it was in facebook (977 pages).

Most have a sampling of what they want to show if they didn't frontload at the beginning. I would get a little of each communication. But anything really showing a real relationship. people talking about the future plans all that.I know

Skype I have read on VJ has a download way to get all you talked about even video cams if u did those. (I never did Skye so don't know how).

No I did not submit only civil documents but also all the extra evidences which u r talking about.. Everything even millions of things.. Now again..

Hahaha kitchen sink is funny

Wow! That was loads!

Anyway, to my answer, once you receive your P4 (Interview letter) they will give you a run down of documents that they have received and will forward to the consulate, and those that you still have to bring to the interview.

Other things I will have with me to the interview are not on any of the requirements or lists, however, but I am bringing anyway.

Bottomline, to be on the safe side, if you would take my suggestion into consideration--better have MORE THAN everything on hand (like a reserve or other back-up evidences) and be prepared THAN to risk being scheduled to a second interview for not having the one single simple thing they asked of you during the interview. So I suggest, bring as much as you could, but present it to them only if asked. If they didn't, at least you were prepared.

So if you think that you have sent everything to NVC, and that was everything you have...then you can just simply have along with you to the interview the same things you sent to NVC--just in case.

Like dwheels76 said, "...AND THE KITCHEN SINK."

JWD531, I tried as best I could, unfortunately, we can only print them.

ON FACEBOOK:

To download your information, go to your Account Settings on the General tab, click Download a copy of your Facebook data found somewhere off center of the page.

This includes a lot of the same information available to you in your account and activity log, including your timeline info, posts you have shared, messages, photos and more. Additionally, it includes information that is not available simply by logging into your account, like the ads you have clicked on, data like the IP addresses that are logged when you log into or out of Facebook, and more. https://www.facebook.com/help/405183566203254

ON SKYPE:

1) You can use: http://www.skypeprint.com/ (It doesn't print call logs though)

2) A friend suggested this http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/skype_log_view.html

(It worked with hers, I didn't use it though).

For Other Curious cats out there...

ON VIBER:

Tap More at the bottom right of your Viber tab menu...then Settings....scroll down and you will see Email Message History
