Hey!! So they are done with their Medical today.. At the hospital they need interview letter, DS-260 confirmation page, and passport photos. They took the x-ray and blood work and got all the immunizations done. They were asked medical questions. Pretty simple but my M-I-L said they are bunch of idiots over there lol took them 5-6 hours just to get all this done. They will be need to go pick up the report sometime next week. Did your wife schedule her medical or biometrics?

congrats!

congrats!

Thanks for the info! One passport pic for biometrics and three for medical, right?

Wife has her biometrics/medical early next week

Actually, my wife's interview is Friday (tomorrow) morning. She flew up to Moscow today, which had me nervous after the tragedy in Ukraine, and then she lost her wallet... I hope tomorrow goes well, and will post a review after she gives me a download.

I wouldn't worry about Ukraine.

Hope everything went well today!

Thanks dwheels for your help in this forum,it was such an experience at the embassy today, those your sample questions were awesome, I was bombarded with a lot of questions.mine was 10 minutes interview, the lady really wanted to make my life miserable but little did she know that I belong to a family called visajourney forum, I was so prepared that she ran out of questions to ask me. She had denied everyone before me, but when it got to my turn, she met her match.thanks saylin and dwheels, you both are awesome.

I had no doubts. Lagos isn't the big bad monster people think. Prep work and confidence is all you need. They will always try and rattle you but you had favor and you were prepared and like you said you had a whole Village called Visajourney behind you.

I tell ya this is a blessed thread people. So happy for you.

The unspoken truth is: You need a lawyer for the USCIS stage and a psychiatrist for the NVC stage, to come through both unscathed.

Too right, MoBar65!!! Honestly, we should start of list of the very best quips throughout the process. This one HAS to be near the top!

First of all, congrats. a couple of questions if you don't mind....It took 39 days from approval at interview? What is 39 days in AP? your interview was on 6/9th--what happened at the interview?

have you heard of anybody being denied at the interview?

I saw this one.
