preparation for interview

[blessedbyhim 4]

Hello,

My fiance's interview for his k-1 visa is scheduled for Monday March 10th at 7am. I am flying to Haiti on the 9th so I can attend the interview with him. Can you all please give me advice on what paperwork we should bring with us or share any tips that you may have?

Our case is pretty cut and dry. We don't have children, neither of us have ever been married before and neither of us have a criminal record. I make enough money so that shouldn't be an issue. Do you have to be able to show that you have a certain amount of money in your bank accounts?

He had his medical exam, they didn't given him vaccinations even though he requested them because they said those were not needed until we file his AOS.

I have phone bills

calling cards

bank statements for the past 3 months

letters from my bank

a letter from my employer

proof of my life insurance policy and 403b

We already provided them with my 2012 taxes and I'm bringing my 2013 taxes with me

his police report

Do we need anything else. I would rather be over prepared than not prepared, but any advice you could give us would help.

Have you gone atop any VJ page, clicked the links for "Embassy Info" and "Reviews: Embassy," and read the recent input? It's also wise to search for the very worst reviews, because these can yield insights on what to prepare for.

It seems like you are prepared. The only thing I would suggest is to also bring a copy of everything you have submitted. I did that just in case and it helped us greatly as they claimed to have not received my tax documents and requested a copy of it at the first window. I was able to submit it there and saved our case from being put on AP.

We just turned in our packet 3 so I am also preparing to come down as well as soon as my fiancé receives the interview date. I reprinted every picture we have together and am also taking cards, letters, emails, phone records, newer letters (one from each of us) of intent to marry, and even letters from our family members. Maybe it's overkill but anything to once again show your relationship is genuine.

Side note- we may have a scheduling conflict with the interview date if it lands on the first week of April (which it very well might). Does anyone know if it is possible to reschedule the interview for say, a week later? How would we go about doing that? Anyone have any experience with the Haiti embassy and rescheduling? In the past when I emailed them it took over a week to respond about something. There seems to be an online rescheduling site for the Haiti embassy but is it legit or should I try calling if we need to reschedule?
