Interview question

[JamalNTam 1]

ok - with less than 2 weeks until my interview I have a couple of questions I hope someone can help me with!

1st off - for the $100 visa payment - is it ok to actually pay in $'s???

2nd - I have the signed and notorized I-134, a letter from Jamals cheif commander confirming how much he gets paid every month etc and attched with that a statement of earning (payslip), W2s and Jamals orders confirming his military rank and the date that he will be leaving the military. The thing is, he has been unable to get a letter from his bank to confirm how much is in the account. He has been calling them and chasin them, but he still has not received it! What will happen if I turn up at the interview without it? He is now living on the west coast but his bank is on the east coast so he cant just pop into a branch!! I'm gettin a lil nervous!!!

Any help or info would be great! Thanks

Hi Tam

The first question is easy - yep, you can pay in cash (in dollars) if you like, which makes it a lot cheaper than paying in sterling, so I'd say it's definitely the way to go!

Second one... I can only go by my own experience, but it sounds fine to me - all I was asked for was the I-134 and a letter from my fiance's employer... well, the CO asked for the I-134 first and then said 'have you got a letter from his work or something?' - I handed that over, expecting to be asked to show something else as well... but nope, she just glanced at it, said 'okay, that's fine', and that was it as far as the financial support stuff went! I think so long as you have the I-134 and the letter showing his income, (assuming that it's enough of course, but obviously it must be!), you should be just fine. Good to have the payslips etc as well, but I bet you won't be asked for most of the stuff you take with you!!

Oh.... good luck, as well!

My experince was simliar to FeatherB's.....I was asked for the I-134 only. The Consular lady didn't even ask for a copy of his pay slip, nor the bank letter. Which, by the way, Paul had a heck of a time getting....even though he lives within walking distance of the bank and has had his acct. there for over 20 years! So.....he went through a lot of hassle to get something they never even asked for! I'd tell you not to "sweat it", but it's likely you will (I know I was...LOL). Best of luck. London Embassy staff were really friendly and helpful. Hope this makes you feel better?

Yup, same for me. Just the Affidavit of Support and a letter from the employer. No bank statements requested.
