Any reason that they would ask for a list of where you lived and names of siblings at this stage? Isn't this all info that's submitted to USCIS originally?

USCIS checks are not conclusive and all-encompassing. For example they don't have your biometrics, nor all your original documents (at least that's the case for my visa category). Their role is to adjudicate your eligibility for the visa category you apply for, based on the reasonable assumption that all your presentations are accurate and non-fraudulent. It's the CO's role to verify the accuracy and honesty of your presentations. Even a POE officer has the right to question your presentations.

As for asking again for previous addresses, it might be an attempt to catch you giving contradicting info to what you previously supplied. I'm not sure siblings' names were part of the initial petition though.

Approved!!! My husband was approved this morning. He said he has too much paperwork. They didn't take our 2013 tax info and it was easier than he expected! They asked him how we met and when we go

Interview was yesterday, it went well and everything was fine, but consul asked for another joint sponsor, he found joint's income for 2013 is a bit low and gave me 221 G paper, he said i should send it with sponsor's paper and within a week I'll got passport with visa. Regardless of this, i was happy i finished a lot of this long way and got a debonair and respectable consul. BTW i submit a consulate review.

Thanks for the help of all visajourney members.

Just a little delay but best part approved and no AP. Congratulations. Keep us posted when you POE and don't be a stranger you know I will be here.

Has anyone ever heard of a package NOT arriving to the embassy in time for the interview?

Yes it happens now and then and the embassy will notify you of a new interview date if that ever happened.
