I'm not sure what the biometrics appointment is... Is that different than the medical? Because the medical you definitely have to have before the interview.

Sorry if that doesn't help!

guys im so exciteddddd and cant wait these 15 days!!!

hey just a quick question btw, i'm gona take our photos album to the interview with all the other documents and stuff.

is it gonna be a problem that the photo album is thick and i was thinking it might nt be possible to pass it to the CO through the window becuase the space is thin. is this gonna be a problem? i m freaking out if i wont be able to pass the photos album to the CO...

then i thought if i wont be able to pass it through the window, then the CO might ask me to show the photos, but i want the CO to see the photos CLOSEEE!!

any ideas??

How about scanning them in and then putting them on to a sheet on Microsoft Word? I've put 6 to a page... in fact 6 is all I have because out of all the pics I took when I was in America last, only that many had me and him in it >.<

Make sure you date-stamp them too

I'm sure everyone has a different experience but for what it's worth, we didn't submit any proof of relationship at the USCIS stage aside from our marriage certificate and my wife wasn't asked for any at her interview in London. She brought some photos and tickets and paperwork but they didn't ask her for any of that. We have been together almost 10 years but married for less than 2, so she will be getting a CR-1.

I wonder if we would have had a similar experience if we didn't send any proof in. I didn't want to risk it xD

I saw someone on the UK forum get 221g'd for lacking proof of their marriage which struck me as odd, but thinking back, their English seemed a little broken so it might just be they were interviewing in London because they were a resident rather than a citizen. Aside from that, London interviews seem like a waste-of-time formality mandated by the US.

I believe for India you need to have the biometrics done prior to the interview. Please go to the website below and select your respective embassy

On the PDF, you'll get the instructions of how you need to complete it.

Biometrics is the finger printing process, which for some countries is done prior to the interview. India is one of those, so they need the medical and the biometrics done prior to the interview.

Our attorney insisted USCIS did not need to see any evidence aside from our marriage certificate. With the benefit of hindsight, I'm not sure that was good advice: This is the same attorney who presumably failed to include our 2013 tax return documents with the AOS package and who is not aware that NVC sends "false" checklists. I was relieved we didn't get an RFE at USCIS.

I don't know what evidence USCIS/NVC/USEM may have aside from what we submit. In our case, three things come to mind that may have turned up during their various background checks:

1- We met while I was temporarily living in Europe.

2- We've travelled to and from the US together a bunch of times since then.

3- She's never lived or applied to move to the US before.

Maybe our case looked straightforward to them, or perhaps they don't care because we'll need to submit this evidence in 2 years time for ROC?

I would bring some additional evidence to be on the safe side but I suspect you won't need it. Looking at the USEM London reviews, some people mention the CO asking about photos etc that were submitted at the USCIS stage. My wife's experience was that the CO did not want to look at anything other than what they had received from NVC.

Good luck!

I was also wondering what the biometrics appointment was.

I wasn't too concerned about it since I only saw biometrics postings by Indian folks. I assumed it didn't apply to Canadians.

Hi guys, anyone from Mexico has gotten an interview for December yet? we have 4 people on FB but none here, and we have earlier dates on VJ

[dwheels76 5,468]

Hello,

I have a question. I have submitted following to NVC in AOS,

1) Five year tax history

2) 2013 tax return

3) Form 1040A of year 2013

4) W2 form of year 2013

5) Employment letter and 3 pay check.

Somebody from my consulate got 221g for w2 forms as they have not submitted to NVC. Do i need to take year 2012's w2 form and year 2012,2011 tax return to interview? Or these are enough documents for AOS ?

Thank you.

Read what you said. They got a 221g because they didn't submit to NVC.

You are only required to submit most current year tax transcripts or tax forms to NVC. You did way too much but that's fine.

Its 2013, 2012, 2111 to show. You only have to show 2013 tax transcripts or tax forms. Don;t be concerned with others 221g.

If you didn't submt 2013 tax forms or tax transcript than bring to interview.
