@Nicalord it is not compulsory to take your other half for the interview and it is optional. I am attending my interview by myself and my husband will not be coming to the UK however, if your other half make can make it, it will give a good gesture for the interviewer. Therefore, if your wife can not make it then it is not a must so do not worry or panic. I hope that clarified your question.

Next I went inside for body and bag checking
Then I proceed to :
Step 1.finger print scanning and the woman asked me DS260 confirmation
page andAppoinment letter she wrote something on it and returned it to me
.And then she told me to go directly to step 2.
waiting time 2 minutes only before step 2

He asked me the following documents because we only sent a xerox

D.when was the last time he visited you.?
E.How did you know each other ?
F.Do you have a pictures together?
And that's all he then told me to go directly to step4 for final
interview and OATh taking.
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

Hi chanhphamvn

I understand your worries. Though your PD is current and your case also completed on 25May but I am afraid you can not have IL now. As I joined some forums in VN and knew that in Vietnam, they only have interview day for whoever was completed in April (CR1/IR1). So for F2A I thought it also the same. whoever complete first, they will have IL first when visa is available. Please be patient end hope that next month is your month.

Feb 21, 2014: Sent I-130 (PD date)
Feb 25, 2014: Received I-797C: Receipt Notice from USCIS
Apr 14, 2014: Approval Notice from USCIS (check website)
