i have a questions , do i must need to bring the original documents in interview, becoz i have already submitted my original birth certificate in NVC, so i still hav r to bring the original birth certificate or i have to show photocopy of birth certificate?

please advice

Anything you submitted at NVC you don't need originals of. But you should have copies of everything and have just in case.

So glad to hear! Good luck on Tuesday! You won't need it though because you got this!! My butterflies were crazy waiting at the airport for him to walk through that door! And then the immigration officer came and got me with a real serious tone and I was thinking OMG! Something is wrong! I didn't expect to have to go in there. I thought he just came out when they were done. They just asked me to sign a paper about the CR-1. Also they asked my name but didn't ask for ID! I thought that was strange. And we hadn't seen each other for over a year and all we wanted to do was hug and kiss and the 3 officers were starring at us which was awkward. So the whole scenario was not what we had imagined but it's ok ....,., we are together. That's all that matters!

I had thought it was going to be like a scene from a movie where we ran towards each other hugging a ns kissing like crazy with a buch of people around saying awwwwwwwww! Lol!!

I wish you the best of luck! Like Dwheels said earlier , the real journey is just beginning. :)

@ DWHEELS I checkk it its July 17 dat is thuurday n dey send d interview paper n Checklist to my wife emails in US n see forwarded it to Me

What I am asking is what was the date you found out your interview.

You have the dates all messed up you have July 17 as your date you were scheduled and you have July 7 as your interview date.

So I just need the date you found out since I now know the interview date of July 17th.

Also :time: this helps the data and stats on the site. Thank you.

"delivery of Child #1"

It sounds like you're inaugurating a production run :rofl: . Hope you and the child have fully recovered from that blessed trauma. We shut down the factory ourselves after rolling out the fourth and feistiest "unit".

Nothing more is paid at embassy. After he gets visa (he will get instructions0 you can pay the green card production fee before POE or up to a year after arrival.

http://www.uscis.gov/uscis-elis

its $165. Most pay it before POE just because they want to get the ball rolling on the green card but your temp green card stamp will be in passport when you POE.

I found a mistake in my DS260 before a couple of days of my interview, is there a way to edit it now as it has already been submitted?

Fill out, print and take a corrected DS-260 to the interview.
