Embassy Interview

[Nele 11]

Hi Everyone,

I'm ready to send out my last letter to the embassy which will get me my interview sometime soon...
This is all amazing as it's been going WAY faster than we anticipated on.
I was just wondering what to expect from the interview, what kind of questions will they ask? Is it wise to bring some extra things, like proof of engagement/relationship?
I have a box full of photos and letters

Kinda nervous! Next week I get the X-rays of my lungs and that'll be the very last thing I have to do before the interview.

Can't believe it's almost over.

Thanks so much!

They do require proof of relationship. I brought a bunch of photos from the past year including one with my mother and fiance's mother together. I also included photos of my fiance with various family members of mine. I had my dad and my fiance's friend write letters documenting our relationship. I (the US Citizen) also went slightly overboard to prove that we have plans in the US. I recently got into a really good graduate school and I gave them a copy of my acceptance letter. We also applied for family housing which required me to put my fiance's name on the application, so we gave them the family housing application form to prove we already applied for a place to live. Showing we had plans helped.

It varies a lot in the countries. Best read in forums related to Belgium.

In Frankfurt, I needed literally nothing except for my passport. They didn't even want to see the proof payment or appointment. Let alone photos or proofs.

And they asked only 3 questions, look at my review:

I haven't received a payment slip yet, but I'm guessing that comes with the letter for my interview?

Yeah, I'll see what they want me to bring! I just wanted to check how everyone else's experience had been and if they ask any weird questions...

Thanks for your reply!! Those questions are really easy to answer I heard they can ask questions like what the color of his toothbrush is or whatever. But who remembers that tho?

I was like "damn, I gotta remember all these little things before I go"

Agree with the above.

Not the first poster.

Interviews are very embassy specific.

Look at reviews for your embassy.

Some countries require more than others and some a lot less.

Also they don't talk to your fiancé so how would they know questions like a tooth brush? Lol.

It's more questions along the lines of the information you submitted to them.

Re payment: I had to pay via a website (connected to ustraveldocs, but the name was somehow different) and I printed the confirmation with a bar code. It said everywhere to bring this page to your interview, but then they didn't ask for it.

Exactly, we are fiancé(e)s and most likely haven't lived together for a long time, if at all. It's not Andie McDowell and Gerard Depardieu.

I had my interview in Brussels last week (May 26th) and was surprised how easy it went. I also brought a box full of pictures, cards etc and they never asked to see them... I would still bring those with, as it will help you know you have everything they can possibly ask for.

The documents they did ask to see were the recent police certificate (translated) and in my case the financial evidence was 2 years old so they asked for recent tax returns.

good luck!
