wooow this is sooo cool!!! 

we can't wait to see more of this cool photoshoot... and of course the wedding! 

 

now we have more countdowns, not just NOA2, but your wedding and the cool pix  

Our wedding is going to be really low key, so not much to expect there

About the photoshoot... well, we just got today all the pictures to review and select what we want for the physical copies. Over 350 pictures! Lol, that's going to be almost as fun as the shoot itself was

Love the photo shoot!!!!  It looked like a lot of fun.  Congratulations on your POE - it's the finish line, and you did the journey so well - always with finesse and grace.     It has been one great experience - a time we will all remember and I for one am so happy for you being in the same place in the same time that I was.  We've discussed, teased, encouraged, and fretted over so many little things, and I am most glad that I have a friend in you.  Have a great adventure together, live every day.  I'll see ya around in these many VJ threads in the future, including this one for a little while longer.

Thank you for your oh so kind words. You brought me to the very verge of tears, and that's not an easy task with me

Glad to have encountered you in the journey too

there is nothing to worry about, as soon as  you need to provide a confirmation page of appointment of the interview in order to get a medical exam, then do it right away - get an appointment for a medical when you get the confirmation page for interview
 You can get medical exam right before the interview ... just then the consulate will wait for the results of your medical exam , to issue the visa.
 I can share my experience: in Russia we also need to provide a confirmation page for the appointment of the  interview, but we can pass medical exam not only  a week before, but even two months before the scheduled interview date ... 
for notice: you can have a medical exam today, and tomorrow you can go to the embassy for an interview ... this means if the results of medical examinations are good, then you will receive a passport with a visa for a few days later, because the embassy will wait for the result from the hospital.

Good luck, guys !

Ok great.  Thanks so much for your help!!!! Whew! It's not so overwhelming after all!

does somebody know this answer to this question...

a Consule in Warsaw definitely looks through pictures that one brings to the interview...

so am I supposed to print out all the photos we've put into the original petition or am I supposed to bring new ones...

and if new ones - do they want to see only photos from AFTER the petition was filed or the photos from the WHOLE length of the relationship?

confused...

I can only give you my opinion on the matter, as they never asked for my pictures during the interview and what I had with me there were just about the same ones we had sent with the original package, since we hadn't seen each other during the whole process.

I think you should focus on the new meetings, but no harm in adding a couple of meaningful ones from past visits. Keep in mind that quality is more relevant than quantity when it comes to this matter, so a few with family and friends and different visits, emphasizing the new ones, should suffice.

i was confused too, i have a copy of the instructions if you do them by these steps it will all make sense. i still need my cosponsors paperwork then i can pay the visa fee online and schedule the appointment and once u schedule the appointment you will get an email of the appointment letter and thats what you take with you to the appointment 

 

click this form and these are the instructions to follow

it says the embassy needs to process the case  (i would suggest emailing them sooner it gets there attention quicker and helps then find your case and process it) , i emailed them myself two weeks after my case said ready and said my fiance was awaiting the instructions packet in the mail and that we were afraid maybe it got lost, i also added in my case number and all information's so they could find my case and process it and the next day they sent me the instructions packet through email
