Hello,

We're on the verge of receiving our NOA2 and would like to start preparing for what happens next.

Here are some questions:

Does the petitioner get an interview also or is it just the beneficiary?

What needs to be brought to the interview?

What is the interview like?

I didn't see the I-134 mentioned anywhere in the timeline screen. Does the form need to be filled out by the Petitioner and brought to the interview by the beneficiary?

Thanks!

Anthony

1. Beneficiary

2. I-134 with wet signature, tax docs, proof of current petitioner income, signed letter of intent to marry (2 letters, 2 humans), medical results, any proof of evidence of stuff, divorce decrees from petitioner (certified copy by victoria county records office).

3. see the embassy review section for the IV unit where she will interview , prior folk wrote much there.

4. yes and yes.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Just the beneficiary has an interview

You'll receive a letter letting you know what you need to bring (I did for the London embassy) - proof of approved petition (they didn't even ask for it at the interview), I-134 and supporting docs. Passport pic of beneficiary, birth certificate, proof of payment, ds-160.

Not sure for Canada but uk was just a few questions and that's it.

Yes - Wet signature not a copy,

  1. Just the beneficiary. But some cases, the CO will interview the petitioner separately especially to those who come from high fraud US visas countries.
  2. Wait the Packet 3 that the embassy will send to you or look up to US embassy section which country your beneficiary comes from.
  3. Varies. Several people had a very simple interview like me. A few questions, approved, and the CO asked me to call my fiance who was waiting outside the interview room and he congratulated to both of us. Some others had a very rough interviews. Depends.
  4. It filled out by the petitioner and brought to the interview by the beneficiary. Which supporting documents you are needed for I-134 is depend which country the beneficiary comes from.

So all the I-134 and supporting docs stuff are going to be hers (the petitioner)?

Which proof of payment? The payment we submitted with the I-129F?

Yes, supporting documents for I-134 are from the petitioner.

No need a proof of I-129F payment.

The I-129F package we sent in included 2 letters of intent. Should we just bring new ones to the interview or should we just re-sign copies of the same ones we initially submitted?

Proof of payment for the visa.

You don't need a second letter of intent. You only need to bring that with you to the interview if you interview is outside the expiry date of NOA2

Don't make copies. Print out new letters with the same content but dated two- three weeks before the interview. Don't forget to sign with the ink.

Atop every VJ page are links for "Embassy Info" and "Reviews: Embassy" -- click these and read what happens at the appropriate consulate.

See the forums list for the Canada regional forum. Many educational threads are available there.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

This site (visajourney) has a very good guide to what you need: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

The guide lines up with everything I've seen on the immigration site.
