Hey guys, just wondering. Everywhere they say bring original interview call letter(P4), so are we going to get like an official letter via post and that is what we are supposed to take with us to medical, biometrics, etc? Or can we just print out the P4 we received via email and would that be counted as original?

I am really confused about this, please help!

My interview is exactly in a month!

Also, if anyone can tell me about the documents we will need for biometrics, that would be super nice!

I just thought, that my husband might have already received his Alien number. I guess, it is issued, when the petition is approved. How can we get to know it?

In my case, I just received my A-number after I got my passports back from the embassy. It was on the summary page on the envelope to be given at POE - you also use it to pay the ELIS fee.

You will receive the number on the immigration packet you receive back after the interview (when they return the passport to you). You cannot pay the ELIS fee until you have this number. They will not give it to you over the phone.

Hello guys we received the interview letter and I didn't understand something they ask me to obtain an police certificate more than year ago ??

You need to renew your police certificate for the interview only if your old one (that you submitted to NVC) is 1 year old. In other words a police certificate is valid only for 1 year from the date you obtained it.
