E.How did you know each other ?
F.Do you have a pictures together?

waiting time before step 4 almost 2 hrs of sitting and waiting before the
consul called my # and I don't know why the're not using there screen to
show numbers.
Step 4. American Consul.( a woman and she was very nice.)
First I took oath after that she directly asked me a questions

Step 5: Releasing this time you will know if you have 221g.
1. woman asked me my ds260 confirmation page again
2. what is your full name and date of birth
and then she said alright everything is fine you may now go to 2go
counter for passport and visa pocket delivery.
2GO counter woman only asked me the delivery information sheet wherein you

And then I'm done around 9:30 am with a smile in my face and hungry
stomach,
All you have to do guys just be honest for every details everything will be

Exactly. Indian CO opened medical report n put it with other papers in file but never returned to me. Just returned passport n 221g and asked to submit passport with new joint sponsor in drop box.

@sf786 on IV day, they opened the medical exam envelope, they reviewed it and put the papers with all of the other papers of the case (i guess) in the envelope that they gave me sealed...but i don't have any copies of that exam...

Hi

I applied my B2 Visit visa in December 2014. In my child hood my name was changed after 1 month of my birth. I forgot to mention my that name in B2 visit visa application. I didn't hide my previous name intentionally.But that B2 visit visa application had been refused.

Now my wife file my spouse petition and disclose my previous name and current in petition with both birth certificate.

Does the not disclosing of my previous name in B2 visit visa application impact on my spouse petition?Does USCIS will compare my personal information provided in petition form with previous form like B2 visit visa application .

Thank you so much san83, danson11 & nertilduraku :D

My interview was at 12pm, and I was heading out at 1:15pm. Everything was very smooth and quick I think!

First I had a pre-interview, they requested my police certificate, 2 photos, medical and proof of relationship ( I brought with me a LOT of evidence: cards, chats, photos, photo album, bank statements, insurance card, etc, etc )

The questions of the pre-interview were:

- Have you been in the U.S? How long?

- When and how did you meet?

- When did you become boyfriend and girlfriend?

- How many times have you visited him? and how many times your husband has visited you?

- When was your wedding? Who was at the wedding?

- Does your spouse speak Spanish?

- Do you speak English?

- What's your occupation? What does your spouse do for living?

- Where does your spouse live in the US? Who does your spouse live with?

- Was your spouse or you married before?

And I think that was all, then I had to wait for the final interview with the CO (this interview was in English), a very nice man, he only checked my documentation, and said: Thank you so much for bringing so much evidence, I like the photo album, who made it?, I explained it was a gift from my husband, then he went: oh! very nice pictures!, enjoy the U.S, your visa is approved! it will take around 4 business days once you send us the call center's confirmation page to pick up your documents.

And that's it! I was nervous the day before, but there's no need to be nervous, just bring everything you need. A lot of people there were sent back because they were missing documentation.
